Paris Poker Room Opening Night

[Howard Burroughs]

I went to the Paris poker room opening night (Friday). They had No-Limit and low-limit. I played No-Limit here.


I went to the Hilton poker room on opening night (Friday). They had No-Limit and low-limit. I played 3-6 here (which soon turned into a 4-8 with a half kill).


I enjoyed my visits to both rooms (as well as my 6 hours in the Mirage 10-20 on Friday night).

Both new rooms had Speedy cocktail service.


Hilton has the on-screen waiting list monitors (a big plus).


Hilton has some sort of royal flush progressive jackpot they take a buck for and a $3 max rake.


Hilton has a swipe card for $1 an hour back in comps.


I like the location of the sub shop directly next to the Hilton poker room.



Both new rooms had a very nice flow of happy tourists.


The only negative I experienced that night was at Paris, when the dealer pushed me an $800 pot. I tipped him a buck and not only did he not say "thank you"; He actually glared at me with apparent disgust. The pot I had before that (different dealer), I tossed the dealer $2, so it's not like I'm a stiff.



I'll check both rooms out again later in the week.



Best of Luck
