Ah, glorious Inglewood, California. A stone’s throw from Los Angles proper has never felt so far away. When in Inglewood, you absolutely must visit the epitome of class and style, The Hollywood Park Casino. It’s got poker, right smack dab in the middle of Southern California.
Need more reasons? Let me count the ways.
1. A poker room 5 minutes from LAX! Got a long layover? Have the cabbie shoot up the Imperial Highway and he’ll have you sitting down at a $3/$6 table in minutes. Just make sure he’s there to pick you up. Cab service around this neighborhood? Not so much.
2. Pink’s! There’s a real live Pink’s Hot Dogs inside the Hollywood Park Casino. Not a landmark like the one off of La Cienaga, but then again, the line is shorter.
3. The ponies! Hollywood Park is actually one of the pre-eminent horse racing venues in the country. In between hands, you can play via simulcast from your seat, or walk over and see the horses run live.
4. The delightful people! You can play poker with the patrons of Hollywood for hours and never have a problem. Just don’t make eye contact. On second thought, go ahead and stare, they’re going to be oblivious to you anyway…frankly, they’ve got their own problems.
5. The celebs! Yes, celebrities do play there. This author has seen Ben Affleck, Chris Moneymaker and Gary Coleman playing poker at Hollywood Park…all in the same month!
