If you play poker you know finding the right spot for a big tournament is as important as a strong hand. For the NAPT, that spot is Resorts World Las Vegas. With luxury, space and a poker friendly atmosphere it’s no wonder this new resort is a hit with poker players and fans.
What sets Resorts World Las Vegas apart?
Opened in 2021, Resorts World is one of the newest mega-resorts on the Las Vegas Strip and it’s going all in on the amenities. This massive property has three separate hotels — Hilton, Crockfords, and Conrad — all under one roof. That means more options to stay and more variety and luxury than most resorts can offer.
From quick bites like Mulberry Street Pizza to high end dining, Resorts World has around 40 restaurants and bars to satisfy every appetite. Players and fans can take a break with anything from a slice of pizza to a fancy meal and get back to the tables.
A poker player’s paradise
Resorts World is one of the top poker destinations in Las Vegas — and it’s not just because of the luxury. With 29 tables in the poker room it’s one of the biggest and most comfortable spaces to play cards on the Strip. For the NAPT 2024 series which started November 3rd with the $550 Mystery Bounty event the room had more than enough space to accommodate over 1,100 players across five starting flights.
The room itself is large, well lit and has comfortable seating — all perfect for poker players who are in for a long session. Many NAPT players this year are staying at Resorts World itself so it’s easy to get from their room to the tables.
Mixed game festival: A NAPT bonus
While NAPT is the main event, there’s also a special happening alongside: the Mixed Game Festival hosted by Robbie Strazynski of Cardplayer Lifestyle. A mixed game enthusiast (a style where different poker games are rotated in a single session) Strazynski can’t sing enough praises about Resorts World. He says unlike most casinos, Resorts World’s dealers are trained in mixed games — a rarity in the poker world.
The Mixed Game Festival runs November 3-7 and is for those who like variety in their game. Notably it’s attracted some big names including PokerStars ambassador Joe Stapleton and Poker Hall of Famer Eli Elezra. According to Strazynski it’s a chance to play low stakes cash games and tournaments in a friendly and supportive environment — something that’s not always easy to find in poker.
can create a poker atmosphere without corporate restrictions. And with a big ballroom and plenty of space, the venue can grow as NAPT and other tournaments do.
Everything a poker player needs
For those coming to Vegas to play poker, Resorts World feels like it was built for them. Besides the comfortable rooms, players have access to a sportsbook to make quick bets, a big food selection and all the poker games – low limit to high stakes. The poker room even runs mixed games at limits from 4/8 to 300/600 so it’s a great choice for every kind of player.
Everything has been thought of so it’s no surprise the PokerStars-NAPT partnership with Resorts World is making players feel at home. The venue has everything they need and more – luxurious, convenient and spacious – all the things serious players look for when traveling for big tournaments.
