In Tunica, Miss. the Horseshoe already had the best 'room' but there were problems stemming from the fact that it was built several years ago.
It was now too crowded, and too near the band that plays at the video-poker bar.

They built a new room in the back and really did it right imo.
It's not exactly the Wynn. but there is PLENTY of space to move around amongst the 16 tables there.


The Gold Strike next door is evidently following suit and is revamping their room so i've been told.
It was previously just a few poker-tables amongst a bunch of slot-machines which was obviously quite stupid and annoying.


So there are a couple of examples out here of rooms that are making improvements.
not 100% amazing/terrific or anything....but at least putting money into making the room better.


It looks like they just through some tables out on the side-floor at the new Paris 'room' and then threw a guard-rail around it (I haven't seen this room in person yet).
Obviously space considerations are probably part of the problem for these places that didn't have poker-rooms when they originally opened the casino.


Also possible that management somewhere along the lines is saying "Okay...well, before we put TOO much money into this...lets just open up something functional and see how it goes. And we'll keep tentative plans to make space to open and build a fancier room later on."
Something like that anyway.

Of course, they could just build the room now....and if it turns out that poker stops being a good use of space for them they can just turn that area into a high-roller room or snack-bar or whatever the hell they want.
