 Overview
The Bicycle Casino is one of the largest and, we think, best poker rooms in the country.  The room is located directly off the 710 freeway in Los Angeles and is easily accessible from downtown LA, the Westside and Orange County.  The Bike has undergone extensive renovation in recent years and is now one of the finest rooms in the world with a full range of modern amenities and non-stop poker action.  This is a must-play room for any amateur or serious poker player.

The Bike spreads games of all varieties (hold'em, stud, Omaha, horse, razz, pineapple, etc.) and size, including some of the larger games in the LA area.  The Bike also offers regular daily tournaments (Nooners) drawing over 200 entrants and hosts a number of larger tournament series throughout the year (see the schedule in the items of interest), including the Legends of Poker, a WPT televised event.

As for game quality, lower limit games ($3/6 and below) can be a free-for-all with 4-6 players to a flop.  Higher limit games tend to be nittier than at crosstown rival, The Commerce Casino.  Given the array of games and tables, wait times are usually <15 minutes.  Waitlists are posted on huge electronic screens and visible from all corners of the main room.

The dealers and floor staff are friendly and professional and the food and beverage staff very responsive to players.  We think the food at the Bike is the best of any of the LA area cardrooms.  Tableside food, the deli and Yoshi's sushi restaurant are all first rate.
