There's nothing particularly special about the Edgewater Casino's poker room. It's just a nice little room in an extremely inexpensive, clean, and relaxing hotel-casino, in the mini-Vegas known as Laughlin.
I visited there for a few days and was impressed by how hard the poker room manager tried to make the room appealing to anyone who might be interested in playing poker. Within the obvious constraints of location and size, the result is most admirable.
There are four tables in this room, one or two of which are going most of the time the room is open for business. The gaming day officially starts at 8:30 AM, though the action often doesn't get underway until the no-limit hold'em tournament begins at 9:30 AM. It's a $25 event ($20 into the prize pool and $5 to the house), with players starting at 1,500 in chips. It's usually over by 11:00 AM or so, feeding the $2/4/6-limit ($6 on the river only) hold'em game. The tournament is limited to two tables.

The room closes when the last game dies. Though it's hard to predict when this will be, when I checked out the room at 10:00 PM on a Wednesday it was closed, though it was running with two tables the following night at 11:00 PM and I couldn't get a seat. On the weekends, it's said to run until 3:00 or 4:00 AM. I suggest that you call first if it's after 8:00 PM.
The small hold'em game is just about the only live action you'll find at Edgewater, though a $1/2 blinds, $50-100 buy-in no-limit game occasionally goes at night or on the weekend. The rake is very reasonable: ten percent up to a maximum of $3. The player-funded promotions are extensive. They pay high-hand bonuses for quads. There's a bad beat jackpot. And they have a new promotion that rewards recipients of straights and higher with tickets used in an hourly $50 drawing. The jackpot drop is $1 at $10 and then a second dollar if the pot reaches $30.
The room is eager to keep the customers it has. Players earn $1.25 in comps, which can be used for food, rooms, etc. And there is a weekly Saturday freeroll for the top ten qualifiers based on hours of play, with players needing at least 12 hours a week to qualify.
If low-limit hold'em is your thing, this place is a very sweet deal, with rooms as low as $19 during the week. I stayed for a couple of nights at that rate and couldn't believe how nice the room was. It even came with complimentary internet access, use of their pool, and access to the small but useful fitness center. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come to Laughlin to stay here, but if I was already going to be in town, this place has the best value that I found.

My wife and I visited Laughlin, Nevada for a few days, enabling me to sample all of the poker rooms in the area. But if your travels only allow you one place to play in this small city south of Las Vegas, I suggest that you play at the Colorado Belle. In my opinion, it's the best room in Laughlin.
The physical environment of the poker room is surely the nicest around. The ten-table room has high ceilings with large overhead fans. The lighting is good, with chandeliers added in in extra measure in an attempt to replicate the 'Gay '90s' atmosphere that seems to be the theme of the entire Colorado Belle. The chairs are extra wide and very comfortable. There are flatscreen HDTVs on the walls. The room is non-smoking.
The room claims to spread stud, Omaha, and hold'em, from low to high limits. This is, I think, at least a slight exaggeration. The typical game is $2-6 spread-limit hold'em with a full kill. (It takes two wins in a row, with the second pot being at least $10, to trigger the kill.) They also get a similarly structured Omaha-8 game about every other day, and a low-stakes no-limit hold'em game once or twice a week. They never get stud any more. And as to high limits, though they'll spread something large if there's enough interest, they've never anything bigger than $1/2 no-limit or $2–6 spread-limit when I visited or when I called to check on their games.
The room maintains a very reasonable rake, 10% up to a maximum of $3. They're very aggressive with their jackpot drop, taking out one dollar at $10 and then a second dollar at $30. This funds all sorts of promotions, including aces cracked, high hand of the day, high quads of the day, four-of-a-kind bonus, and a progressive bad beat jackpot.
The Colorado Belle also has nightly 'super deep stack' poker tournaments at 7:00. Monday through Thursday, they're effectively $50 events, with $10 going to the house. On Friday and Saturday they're $100, with $10 going to the house. Players start with $20,000 in tournament chips. All tournaments are no-limit Texas Hold'em except for Thursday night, when the tourney is Omaha-8. There's also a smaller $30 no-limit hold'em tournament every day at 10:00 AM.
The room offers up something extra for players – free dinner from 5:00-8:00 PM. It's nothing special, but it is free and plentiful. When I visited they had a very tasty orange chicken. I was told they had shrimp the night before. Players may eat at the table. There is tableside drink service as well. Players also earn comps of $1.25 an hour for their live play.
This room seems to be the most popular in Laughlin among tourists. The dealer and a couple of regulars at the table estimated that only about 30% of the players were regulars – the rest were tourists like me. I found the games to be tight and passive for the most part. 80% or so seemed to be retirees, either living in the area or visiting; I didn't notice anyone younger than I, and I'm 51. Players were friendly, rarely if ever bluffed, and only raised once in a blue moon. Maybe they were all just waiting for the bad beat jackpot to hit or for one of the many other promotions in the room. Maybe they were just there for the free dinner and didn't want to risk a lot of money. Either way, I didn't mind their lack of pressure. I found the room relatively easy to beat – if only for relatively small money during my three sessions. Though, if you like wild no-fold'em hold'em games, the action might disappoint you.
The room is not open 24/7. Games rarely go beyond 3:00 AM, even on the weekends, and generally don't start up until 8:00 AM or so. I'd call before going over any time before the 10:00 morning tournament, or after 1:00 AM. It's probably not worth a special trip from Las Vegas to play here. But if you're in Laughlin, or even if you're planning on driving by en route to somewhere else, it's worth a stop… especially around dinner time.
