I am probably in the minority here, but I feel the "nice" rooms are intimidating. I like for the poker room to feel very accessible, it shoudl not look like the sort of places you have to be quiet in.

I tend to agree with this.
Personally, I like the pretty rooms, really. I love Wynn's room and the clubby atmosphere at Monte Carlo. The Bellagio and Mirage rooms are great too.
But I have to say, the level of play and the goodness of the games are better at the more open rooms. Bally's, for example, sits right next to a bar with Video Poker and nestles up next to the Black Jack tables. On more than one occasion I've seen people wander in and want to play just because the "room" is generally inviting and the brush is easy to find and ask about the games. On numerous occasions I've seen the floor people and dealers talking to lookers-on about betting into games.
So, for getting people interested in playing, I think the open "rooms" are the way to go.
