David,
I live in the center of Green Valley & it takes me 10 minutes to drive from my House to the Bellagio valet. The freeway is 6 blocks from my house & when I get off at Flamingo I just about pull into the North valet which is only a VERY short walk to the poker room. The only poker room of note in Henderson is at Sunset Station, but, their biggest limit is only $3,$6,$9. The entire Las Vegas valley has traffic including Henderson, but, you'll find a lot less of it here. The West side of Las Vegas is without a doubt the worst as far as traffic goes. You'll just have to drive around the area & see for yourself if you like it! Andy - Las Vegas
