Re: There is a right and a wrong way to do it....
I agree with what you are saying, however I feel that it would mostly apply to small stakes only. Maybe the right idea is to have an paris-like room for small "beginner" games and a nice and quiet wynn-like room for mid-high.

Did a real crappy job of keeping the first one secret but I agree it looks like a terrible place top play. Not sure where the second one is but it looks less claustrophobic and more remote.

[/ QUOTE ] Generally the mid and high players like to have beginners in their games also. People that have never played before will play higher given a chance. THey are on vacationand have no problem betting $25 or $100 a hand at blackjack; these same people would play poker if they were made to feel welcome. When we had the only NL game in Vegas we had two things that happened more than once that are amazing in a poker room. We had players playing NL wiht the rank of hands sheet on the table (this was very common). And we had plsyers that would just bet liks it was blackjack (less common but I remeber 3 different people doing this on different occasion), that is they would buy $100 or so and put it out as their bet all-in before the cards were dealt (this was ususally a 1-2 blind game, ocasisonally a 2-5 blind game).

Re: There is a right and a wrong way to do it....
That is one thing I did love about the MGM Poker room... Very open, airy feel and very accessible to everyone being on the main strip for the "party drunks" who will often come over after a few hours at the club to party it up at the tables.
Not to mention the music from the bar, and the nice distraction of waitresses in short skirts dancing on tables in the bar. We figured out the pattern after a few hours one night and would shut the whole table down to go watch them dance... even the dealer got up one time till he got a dirty look from the floor.
