Poker at Planet Hollywood
Located in the middle of the casino, the 12-table poker room is one of smaller rooms on the Las Vegas Strip, but is cozy and fun, and has a club-like atmosphere. The Poker room uses the “Bravo Room Management” System to inform players which games are on, and how many players are waiting etc. Players can call ahead and have their names added to the waiting list if required.
Planet Hollywood’s card-room runs daily tournaments and cash-games. Cash game action is generally limited to stakes of $1/$2 and $2/$5 No-Limit Hold’Em (NLHE) with a minimum and maximum buy-in of $100/$300. On request it’s possible to get a Pot Limit Omaha game started.
When the World Series of Poker is running in Vegas, Planet Hollywood puts on a slate of bigger tournaments to satisfy demand (the PHamous Poker Series). For bigger tournaments Planet Hollywood makes use of its spacious mezzanine area which holds ~75 tables to accommodates larger tournaments and additional cash games.
