Eastside Cannery Poker Room Review Last updated: 03/11/09 Sponsored Advertisement Phone: (702) 507-5700 Web: http://www.eastsidecannery.com/gaming.htm Email: Address: 5255 Boulder Highway Editor's Review Eastside Cannery Poker Room News Eastside Cannery Poker Room Information Tables: 4 Betting Limits:
Eastside Cannery Poker Tournaments: No
Weekend Wait-Time: Usually fairly short, 10-15 minutes Smoking Allowed: No Poker Room Rate: No Editor's Review - Eastside Cannery Poker Room Total Rating: 3.35 Room Quality Rating: 3 **Last Updated: 01/24/09** The Eastside Cannery poker room just grand opened in 2008 (along with the entire casino and hotel), and offers 8 tables, 4 of which have autoshufflers. The tables are lacking when it comes to creature comforts. The felts are plain green (with no casino logo) and the armrests do not include cup holders. The chairs are standard non adjustable/non swivel, which is surprising considering that nearly all new rooms have adjustable/swivel chairs as a commonly accepted amenity. Though the room itself is nicely apportioned with plenty of side tables, televisions, and electronic player management systems, it seems that the lower quality tables, felts, and chairs really do not do the room justice. Located directly adjacent to Sam’s Town, on the “Boulder Strip”, the poker room at the Eastside Cannery is designed and built with the older local customer in mind. In fact, the room obviously wanted to concentrate on bringing a daily stud game to the room, as a specially cut stud table is front and forward in the center of the room. Though a stud game does seem to spread semi-daily, it is usually limited to the dayshift hours. The layout of the room seems to be a true flaw in design. The room has 4 autoshufflers out of 8 tables, and only 1 of those tables is located on the front rail of the room (one is in the very back and the other two are to the left side of the room, behind the management desk). The most commonly used tables are located to the side of the room, away from the front rails, and are used for 2/4 and 4/8. It seems that putting a stud table front and forward in the room shows a rather old fashioned view of the Vegas poker scene, and a concentration on the past versus the present and future. Aesthetically, the Eastside Cannery poker room is slightly above average. The entire casino is very new, so the fixtures, televisions, tables and chairs are all barely broken in and the carpet still has a vibrant luster. The tables are nothing special at all as far as design, and the chairs are below average (especially for a new room). The colors, use of tile and marble, and the lightboard wall and pillar adornments are nice touches that slightly elevate this room aesthetically above that of Boulder Station, but the room most certainly is a drop down from its direct neighbor of Sam’s Town, which offers 11 tables, a large spread out room, and adjustable/swivel chairs. Overall, the Eastside Cannery poker room quality is slightly above average. The technology included in the room with regards to the Genesis Bravo system is impressive, but the table and chair quality is quite disappointing. The room is a nice addition to the Boulder Strip, and will more than likely build a solid customer base over time due to its customer friendly rake and locals driven promotions. Competition Rating: 3 The Eastside Cannery poker room caters strongly to locals from the local Boulder Highway area. They do get a slightly higher than average number of tourists due to their above average hotel and restaurants, but the vast majority of their players is older locals that are simply tired of their other choices (i.e. Sam’s Town and Boulder Station). These players are predominantly Limit Hold’em players, so the games are often a mixture of loose passive and weak tight players. The games are profitable as the players are generally quite predictable. Most of the daily players at Eastside Cannery are hours chasers, accumulating hours for the weekly freeroll that only requires 15 hours of play each week. Though a NL game does spread on the weekends (usually), the vast majority of the time only LHE can be found, with the same players that are there every day. Overall, the competition at the Cannery is what you would expect from a locals casino on Boulder Highway. The players are daily locals that are not really good, but not that horrible either. A basic tight aggressive game is usually all that is needed to profit in any of their games (i.e. very little tricky play is required pretty much anywhere on Boulder Highway). Dealer Rating: 4 The dealers at Eastside Cannery poker room seem to all be experienced and knowledgeable in the games and proper game control. Mechanically, all witnessed dealers were sound in pitch and board placement, as well as board reading. Though the personalities and attitudes seemed a bit dry at times, the concentration on the game versus the socialization is appreciated by this reviewer. Though some seem to be overworked at times, they all seem accustomed to their clientele of older locals. This can lead to some slight exceptions made to proper protocol in order to make the game comfortable to some players, but nothing that would overtly hurt the rating. Overall, the dealers all seem to be above average and control their games well. Cocktail Rating: 3 The cocktail service is slightly above average for the industry, and on par for most local’s casinos. The servers are reasonably quick; though few premium drinks are available (Red Bull is not served). All basic cocktails are served by ladies that are generally all young and experienced within the industry. Though the service can slow down significantly late at night, generally the service is indicative of a well run beverage department. Management Rating: 4 The management of the Eastside Cannery poker room is a mixed bag. The technology of the room with regards to the Genesis Bravo system (i.e. electronic game list tracking and in table comp tracking) is well noted, as are the well placed television screens. However, the decision of the upper management to place a stud table front and forward in the room, as well as the placement of the autoshufflers tables is questionable at best. The fact that the room does not offer autoshufflers in all tables is also suspect. However, the fact that the room offers a 10%/$3 max rake (plus $1 jackpot) is very player friendly, and in fact ranks this room as one of the lowest rakes in all of Las Vegas (most rooms rake at a $4 or $5 max plus jackpot). The human element to the management is slightly above average. The managers that this reviewer spoke with seemed a little arrogant at times, but other times they seemed very approachable and friendly. Decisions were rendered correctly from what I witnessed, and the staff seems to work well with each other with regard to staff cohesiveness. Overall, the management of the Eastside Cannery poker room is satisfactory on nearly all levels. Comps Rating: 4 The Eastside Cannery poker room offers players the local’s casino standard of $1 per hour on their Eastside Cannery Players’ card. The comps accrued can be used at any of the restaurants on the property. The room also offers high hand jackpots and a weekly freeroll for players that play at least 15 hours per week in the room. The hours and comps are tracked via the Genesis Bravo system installed on all poker tables. Overall, the comps offered by the Eastside Cannery poker room are as expected within the locals’ casino industry. The weekly freeroll in addition to the $1 per hour earned comps (on top of the fact that the room rakes at $3 max plus $1 jackpot) make the Eastside Cannery a fairly generous room with regards to comps, and above its neighboring Boulder Station counterparts.
