There is a right and a wrong way to do it....

One thing that the Grand DOES do correctly is make 'open-seating' announcements through the casino.
"We have open-seating for 3/6 hold-em. C'mon up to the Poker room on the 2nd floor and join us."
Stuff like that.

This is good for poker and is good for poker players. It may or may not be good for the casino. When I was in Vegas we coudl not page in the casino. When seats were open the hotel operator could page them to the house phone and put them through to the poker room. Everytime an announcement about poker is made there is a chance that someone will leave the pit to go play poker; this is not something the casino likes.
