My first trip to the Wynn poker room (long)

[RitmoEnElCaos]

I didn't explore the property... just the poker room.

The room is very close to the self park garage, close enough to restrooms, and way away from slot noise. The room is very nice and there's much more room between tables than at the Mirage. The dealers were pretty good for the most part, again better than the Mirage.

I like that they have screens showing the wait/interest lists. I didn't like that they were inserting people ahead of me in the list, saying they had called and someone had forgot to put them on. Took half an hour to get seated at 8/16 HE at 8p night before Thanksgiving. There were two tables of 8/16 going.

My table was full of rocks and locals. At one point, everybody knew each other except me... I'm in from out of town visiting family for the holiday.

Cocktail service was TERRIBLE. Worst I can remember, honestly. They didn't do a good job of keeping the table full even though there was a list, despite repeated reminders. Rate reduction is at 6 players. Rake is max $4, with the fourth dollar dropping at $90 pot. No peculiar rules or anything to speak of.

Dealers ignored requests by various players to keep the game moving. We had one guy for a bit that took 20 seconds to act every single time action was on him.

The game eventually juiced up with some tourists and alcohol and I was fortunate enough to clear a 30+ BB profit in 6 hours.

Overall, I wasn't wowed by any stretch. It's nice to have another option on par with the Bellagio, and they were generally nicer at the Wynn than at the Bellagio, but maybe I was expecting something more.

The cocktail service was excellent when I was there last. My $5-10 NL table was also very soft.

Both rooms feature good games, but the Wynn staff are MUCH more pleasant to deal with.

I agree. Never going back to the Bellagio for me.

I was in the Wynn 15/30 on Tuesday in the evening (about 5 to 10 PM)... Were you there? (I also played in the 8/16 and the mixed game on Sunday.)

This was my first trip to Vegas in over a year... If I have the chance, I might post a little more of a trip report later...

The Wynn staff was pleasant?

The staff that was plucked and cherry picked from MY CARD CLUB, CANTERBURY????

I HAVE INEXPERIENCED JOE BLOW DEALERS SAYING ALL RED BEATS TWO PAIR WHILE YOU MILK ALL MY GOOD DEALERS FOR VEGAS???????....GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I do feel the quality of Canterbury has gone down slightly with the loss of so many of our good floor and dealer people - I knew that excellent staff would be one of the Wynn's selling points from the beginning - glad to see they're not letting me down or making me look like a liar [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

The only remark negative that I have about my experience at the Wynn was the following.

I bought Red chips for $100 at the window - to enter the $4-8 TexasHE game, a game which I guess in LV is primarily played with $1 chips.

Sat down at the table when called to play.

No greeting from the dealer.

Except the following -

"Give me some of your Red chips..."

I replied - "No."

"This is a $4-8 game", he says.

I confirmed with, "I know".

No tips to this dealer when I got those blue chips.
