Re: Venetian poker room to become reality??
It's been some years since I was in Vegas, but on my last trip out there the Venetian had a poker room. It was actually just a roped-off section of the main floor of the casino, with maybe a half-dozen tables. I never saw more than 2 tables going, a 1-5 7-stud game and a 1-4-4-8 HE.
I liked the room. The room manager seemed friendly and knowledgeable, and the dealers were good, fast, and friendly. And the cocktail waitresses were to die for.
And all the players had those little convention name-tags stuck on their shirts [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I think the room was just getting started, and died out just before the current poker boom got going strong. The manager told me that the room was fairly new (I don't think the Venetian had been open very long then), and that they got very few local players at the time.
