MGM will host three separate freeroll poker tournaments — one for each closed poker room — at the MGM Grand over the next month. Players can register for free for each event, but space is limited.

MGM Grand is located on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip. The MGM Grand Poker Room is home to 22 tables. The poker room was recently remodeled and has moved back to its original location, after spending months in a temporary location near the old Lion Habitat that recently closed.

• Befitting its brief, the MGM Grand has one of the largest casino floors on the Strip. This is some 171,500 square feet (15,930 m2) in size, and offers 139 table games and a whopping 2,500 slots. Slots are a major draw at the MGM Grand, with the amounts accepted by its machines varying from $0.01 up to $1,000.

The main game at MGM Grand is a 1/2 No Limit Texas Hold’em game with a $60-$300 buyin range. A 2/4 fixed limit game is also common. During peak times, a 4/8 fixed limit game and 2/5 no limit game with a $200-$1000 buyin range may be found. MGM Grand no longer offers their beginners game, which featured $.50/$1 blinds.

MGM Poker Facilities

The MGM Poker Room offers several amenities, although they lag a bit behind other high end rooms. The tables and chairs are in top notch shape. There are TVs, but they are small and some seats have an obstructed view. All tables have automatic shufflers. Players can order food to the table 24 hours a day. While there is drink service, players may not receive comped shots of liquor while at the table. Players may receive a massage while at the table, but players cannot use their comps to purchase them. Poker players may use the valet service free of charge, including tip. The poker room will give players a $3 voucher to use when tipping the valet.

Smoke and Noise Levels When Playing Poker

The poker room ranks about average for smoke. The room is somewhat walled off by different parts of the building, but it still borders the casino floor. A nearby nightclub causes some excessive noise from time to time during major party hours.

Comps Offered to Poker Players

In addition to the valet tip, players can expect the typical $1 an hour when clocked in with their M Life card. The $1 an hour may be used for hotel room charges or food. Poker players that average four hours a day will qualify for the casino rate in the hotel. The discount is 20% off of the advertised rate.

Alternatives to Texas Holdem at the MGM

Every Tuesday there is a $120 HORSE tournament. In addition to the tournament, a HORSE game may break out after players bust out. MGM Grand will spread any game if there is enough interest.
