So Cal Card Rooms, DoublePlay, 17. Jan 2003 08:16
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
My girlfriend has some work training in Newport Beach, CA coming up in the near future and I find myself with a day open for poker. Where are the closest card rooms to Newport Beach, CA and which airport would I fly into? I'm mostly a 9-18 and 15-30 player.

Thanks!

Fly into John Wayne Airport.. I live in Venice so I don't play much in Orange County. Orange County is about an hour to 45 minutes south of LA proper. Most of the good card rooms in Bell Gardens and of course Commerce. The Commerce Casino is my favorite. Unless you find something down in Orange that peaks your interest It would be worth the 45 - 1hr. drive to hit Bell Gardens and Commerce.

If you want to play in some good 15-30 or low blind no-limit games, you want to go to Hawaiin Gardens. It's not an elegant place, but the action is good. It's off the 605 just out of Long Beach not at all far from Orange County. The Commerce is a nice place, but a pretty good drive. It's also known for it's "Team" play. Another action joint for yellow chip games is Hollywood Park. If you Don't want to make the drive, go to Crystal Park, and you can shuttle to Hollywood. Just ask the casino floorman about it when you get there. Good Luck.
