I walked over today to check things out. I asked multiple employees walking out of the room when the opening date was. Every one of them said sometime next week. I walked into the room and spoke to what appeared to be a manager. He said that the opening date has yet to be chosen. I then decided to observe some degens upon walking into the casino I spoke to another employee who claims Saturday is a soft opening "if you really want to you can come".
Jus had a brief look at the inside of the SugarHouse Poker Room. It is awesome. Tables are well spaced and everything is clean and sparkling. Seen a bunch of familiar faces and it will almost be impossible for the room to be anything but a smashing success. Would have more to post but Was evicted by Gaming Commission (not poker rooms fault) meanwhile everything looks great and am excited for noon tomorrow.
Thanks Count, and to everyone who posted eyewitness accounts and photos.
And thanks Raye. I think I speak for most people on here when I say we appreciate the updates (although maybe not as frequent as some people here would have liked) and answers (even sometimes answering the same questions over and over). I know you must have had your hands full already getting the room ready but, by finding the time to post on here, you kept this thread from turning into a complete speculation thread. I won't be able to attend the grand opening, but I hope to stop by sometime in the near future.
I guess in a couple hours this will no longer be a "HYPE" thread?
