Once again with the sneaky taking of the photos inside the casino. OK, they’re far from being great pictures, but I wanted to try to show a player’s-eye view of what it’s like to play poker at O’Sheas.
This game is cheap. It’s $1-$5 spread limit, with just one $1 blind each hand. Since the $1-$3 spread game at Excalibur is no longer running, I’m sure this must now be the smallest game in town.
The limits are low and the tables are tiny. Their poker room consists of two 8-handed tables (and it’s still a bit cramped with eight) dumped right inside the front doors. But playing here, you are sitting in air-conditioned comfort virtually right on the Strip itself. It feels like you’re in the heart of the action – even though you’re actually playing a game where a pot over $20 is massive, and rare.
All the new nightclubs have a strip view. I say more poker rooms should consider it too. Getting to enjoy classic Vegas scenery while you play is a fantastic experience.
