best places to play poker in western US?

In a few weeks (end of April), I am going to be taking a roadtrip from Vancouver, Canada down to LA and Las Vegas and all points inbetween (plus probably Utah) and I plan on playing quite a bit of poker along the way.

I basically wanted to find out all the possible places I could play. I really prefer playing NLHE as opposed to LHE, so points of interest with NLHE are what I am looking for (if there is a nice place with only limit, i might make a stop). Also, I am looking for games in the $100-$1000 buy-in range (or unlimited buy-in if the buy-ins tend to be in a similar range, such as the Golden Nugget's $1-2 game).

So how about it? Any suggestions on places to play in Cali, Oregon, Wash., Nevada, etc.? I have already been to Vegas twice so you can exclude casinos there, and I am also familar with some of the LA casinos with NL games such as Bike, Commerce, and Hustler (however, I haven't actually played at these 3 casinos, so any suggestions/advice/experiences about them would be great too). Feel free to mention anywhere else.

thanks in advance for responses

  • There are no good NLHE ring games in WA state due to gambling law restrictions. There are great tournaments at Diamond Lils in Renton, WA and Muckleshoot casino in Auburn, WA. They both have websites, just google them.
