Short version. Las Vegas is down to about 18 poker rooms, from nearly 60 at the height of the boom. Planet Hollywood closed its room in January 2026 and Resorts World on March 30, leaving eight on the Strip. The big rooms are as good as ever: Bellagio, Aria, Wynn, the Venetian and the Horseshoe.

Why rooms keep closing
Poker takes a lot of floor space and the house only earns the rake. Slot machines earn more from the same square footage. Casinos are folding small rooms and sending players to their bigger sister properties. Some closed rooms reopen for a few weeks to host a tournament series.
When to go
The World Series of Poker runs from late May into July, and nearly every big room runs its own series alongside it. Games are biggest then and so are the waits. Check the Bravo Poker Live or PokerAtlas apps for what is running before you leave your hotel.

What it costs
Casino poker rooms take a rake from each pot, capped at a few dollars, and some add a jackpot drop. Tournament fees are shown in the buy-in.
