Best Western Plus Casino Royale–Center Strip

Las Vegas, NV

Best Western Plus Casino Royale–Center Strip is a smaller, value-focused hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip at 3411 Las Vegas Boulevard S. Its biggest strength for poker travelers is location: the property sits between Harrah’s and The Venetian area, putting several major Center Strip poker destinations within a practical walk or short rideshare.

The hotel is not a full luxury megaresort, but it gives players a straightforward Strip base with guest rooms, free Wi-Fi, an outdoor pool, a fitness center, an on-site casino, and convenient casual dining. Official hotel information lists on-site dining options including Denny’s and Pizza Hut, while Casino Royale’s own dining page highlights Denny’s, Outback Steakhouse, Pizza Hut, a food court, and casual Strip food options.

For poker players who care more about location and total trip cost than resort scale, the property is especially notable because the official Best Western listing promotes no resort fees and free parking. That combination is unusual on the Las Vegas Strip and can make the hotel useful for multi-day poker trips, especially when a player expects to spend most of the day at The Venetian, Wynn/Encore, Caesars Palace, or other nearby poker rooms rather than inside the hotel itself.

The Venetian Poker Room at The Palazzo is the most convenient major poker destination from the hotel. Wynn Poker at Encore and the Caesars Palace Poker Room are also realistic walking targets for many players, while Bellagio and Horseshoe Las Vegas are possible but less convenient on foot and may be better handled by rideshare, taxi, or transit depending on timing, weather, and personal comfort.

Why Players Like This Hotel

Best Western Plus Casino Royale–Center Strip is one of the more practical value hotels for poker players who want to stay near multiple major Las Vegas Strip poker rooms without paying for a luxury resort.

The Venetian Poker Room is the clearest fit. The hotel is only a short walk from The Venetian/Palazzo complex, and The Venetian’s official poker page places its poker room on level 2 of the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Palazzo. For players focused on Venetian DeepStack events, cash games, or long tournament days, this is the hotel’s strongest poker relationship. The walk is short enough to make early starts, dinner breaks, bagging chips, or returning after a late cash session relatively simple.

Wynn Poker is also a realistic nearby destination. Wynn’s official poker page states that cash and tournament play are held in the poker room located at Encore. From Casino Royale, the walk to Wynn/Encore is longer than the Venetian walk but still practical for many players in the 10–15 minute range, especially during reasonable weather. This makes the hotel useful for players splitting time between Venetian events and Wynn Signature Series tournaments.

Caesars Palace Poker Room is another meaningful nearby option. Caesars identifies the Caesars Palace Poker Room as a 24/7 room with cash games and daily tournaments. Casino Royale is across the Center Strip corridor from Caesars Palace, and players can usually treat it as a walkable room, though the actual time depends on pedestrian bridges, Strip congestion, and the specific route into the casino.

Bellagio and Horseshoe Las Vegas are possible secondary poker destinations, but they are less convenient from this hotel than The Venetian, Wynn/Encore, or Caesars Palace. Both can be reached from the Center Strip area, but the practical door-to-room walk may stretch beyond what some players want before an early tournament or after a long late-night session. For Bellagio cash games or Horseshoe tournament days, rideshare, taxi, or transit may be the better choice, especially in summer heat or when carrying a backpack.

Food access is a major advantage. Casino Royale has casual on-site and immediately nearby dining, including Denny’s, Pizza Hut, Outback Steakhouse, and food-court-style options listed by official property sources. That is useful for poker players who want inexpensive or quick meals before registration, during breaks, or after late sessions without needing a formal restaurant reservation.

The parking and resort-fee setup is the biggest value angle. The official Best Western listing promotes free parking and no resort fees, which can materially lower the total cost of a multi-day Las Vegas poker trip compared with many Strip resorts. Players should still verify final booking terms before reserving, because hotel policies can change and third-party booking pages may display different fee language.

The main drawback is that Casino Royale is not a luxury poker-resort stay. Players looking for a large pool complex, high-end rooms, extensive resort amenities, or a seamless in-property walk to a poker room may prefer staying directly at The Venetian, Wynn/Encore, Caesars Palace, Bellagio, or Horseshoe. For players prioritizing cost control, central location, free parking, and easy access to several poker rooms, Best Western Plus Casino Royale is a strong practical option.
