Poker nights

Star City Casino
Star City not only has Texas Hold 'Em games running 24/7, but also Manilla, draw-five, seven-card stud and Omaha. There's usually a wait on the smaller limit Hold 'Em games, but there are plenty of other ways to shed your cash while you wait for your seat to be ready.
