Why can't more poker rooms look at a place like BestBet with excellent wait service, excellent food (which you pay for) and just copy that? I don't get it. Maybe they need to hire more guys? Or screen the people they hire? Or is it just the job market in DC? I've played in many other poker rooms and clearly these are the worst waitresses I've ever encountered (again the one waiter was very good). The one male waiter was one of these 2 (good for him). Literally only 2 of them seemed not to be off when people ordered drinks. I’m all for people smoking and living their best lives if they choose to, but not something I’m trying to smell when I’m just trying to sleep. It was constant and even stronger in the morning. I was a good bit so probably say 20 different waitresses come to my table. Great hotel Great hotel, excellent staff I’d give 5 stars except for the fact that my room smelled like weedwhich I hate.

Finding a waitress without an attitude is even harder.

No food available - even the snack bar right next to the poker room is closed. So why only 3 starts? Pretty much everything non-poker related is poor. Good mix of promotions - I've accepted that most poker rooms now will have promos, so don't object to the extra rake - they seem to mix things up to keep it fun. In theory, the poker room offers no-limit hold ’em, Omaha, stud and mixed. They can access safety deposit boxes as well. For the high rollers, there is also a special section of tables just for them. All dealers, reception floor very competent and friendly. The poker room is on the second floor of MGM National Harbor, away from the noise and bustle of the casino floor.

Good action - like any room, some table more active than others but that's the way it always works. The actual poker is excellent, so for people who care only about that then it's a 5 star. Saw another review with very similar takes.
