A new poker room on the Boulder strip is open and spreading your favorite games. Eastside Cannery is first new property to open on the Boulder Strip in more than a decade and the first new poker room on Boulder in 14 years.
The spacious 8 table poker room is filled with modern poker tables equipped with Shufflemasters and the popular Genesis tracking systems. Genesis tracks play through player’s cards so stop by the C.A.N. Players Club and sign up for your free player’s card before you play or click here to sign up online. Poker players earn comps at the rate of $1/hour with no daily limit. Comps are good at any of the casino’s food outlets.
The room is currently spreading $2-$4 and $4-$8 limit Hold’em plus a $1-$2 No-Limit Hold’em with a $100 min - $300 max buy-in. For the stud players there is a $2-$7 Limit Seven Card Stud game with a $1 low card bring-in. A $2-4 LHE, $4-8 LHE and the stud game were up and running along with $1-2 NLHE during our early Sunday morning visit. Stop by the Eastside Cannery to play in the newest poker room in Las Vegas. If some of the room personnel look familiar you probably saw them dealing at the 2008 WSOP.
Tip: Park near the eastside doors at the Eastside Cannery, walk-in, look left … the Poker Room. Couldn’t be easier.
