It's official - I am transferring to our Phoenix office in September! yippee!!

Anyone who knows me knows that I checked out the casinos in the area before anything else LOL. I am thrilled to have a few to choose from - pretty close by I might add! Don't get me wrong, I love playing poker in Atlantic City, but it's a 2-hour drive in good traffic... yuck.

Have any of you played poker in any of the AZ casinos???

Congrats! And welcome to this side of the country!! I've never played in AZ casinos; hopefully, you'll be able to find some good poker games.

I'm stepping up my tournament play and have plans to hit some of the bigger tournaments in the WSOP circuit events. We plan on hitting Harvey's Lake Tahoe, Harrah's Tunica, and Harrah's Rincon (San Diego).

I'm hoping to get a couple of cashes so I can play in THE big ones!

That is AWESOME!

I have checked out the Harrah's schedules also. I'm sure I'll be making my way to Rincon at some point. It's about a 5-hour drive, but I'll likely hop a plan instead. Have to get settled here in AZ first. I did play at Harrah's AK-Chin on Saturday - nothing to speak of. VERY small, and a lot of grumpy, anti-social players.

I am going to play next Saturday at Casino Arizona, they have a ladies tournament, so I hope that's a better experience

I'm already looking forward to making a trip to Vegas by year-end!

Good luck/cards Thinker! Let me know how it goes

In case you're interested...

I'll definitely put it on the calendar as a possibility! After driving for 4 days to get here (to Phoenix), a 5 hour trip to Vegas would be like nothing! LOL

5-hour road trips are perfect! You know what I just found out??? The final table starts that weekend. !!!

I didn't even know it when we planned the trip. It starts that Saturday and goes for 4 days. ...ought to be plenty of poker action everywhere that weekend!

On a separate note... We have learned that when we leave out all the bs gambling we tend to do, we have been in the black with poker. We're about to start a couple of months of tournaments here in Reno. My fingers are crossed for some big paydays!!!
