I don't know if what vegas!!!! said is true about their needing to apply again and needing to use different chips, but if it is, how can everyone not see what utter bullshit that is? The gaming bureaucrats need to **** the hell off.

As for places that have different chips for poker, I've cashed chips at Mirage before and had the cashier tell me that I could have just done it in the poker room. So there must be some difference for her to know where the chips came from--it may just be that the dollar chips ("whites" as they call them although they're actually a filth-encrusted jaundiced yellow) say POKER on them or something. Also, I know Caesar's uses different chips for baccarat. I've seen people sit down and put out a high-denomination baccarat chip and the dealer wouldn't make change for it because those chips are separate (and physically larger).

Exhibit A:

I hope they do get new, clean chips.

What matters to me:
comfortable chairs - looks good from the pics
space between tables - i.e. not like Bellagio
good drink service - this would be my #1 reason to return or not return
clean hands-free bathroom close to the poker room
good dealers and floor staff
Bravo to see games and waitlists

Send this list to every poker room in North America!

I'll also add a USB charging port at each seat and some large TVs to keep abreast of all the games.

Too much to ask?

It won’t be on bravo it will be on PokerAtlas with live info once it opens. There is bathrooms about 30 seconds from the poker room.

Yea, they eat finger food and lick their fingers. Pretty gross and it gets the cards all sticky and gross. Maybe as long as they only serve food you can't eat with your hands. But that won't happen.

Not to mention...this can also cause the deadly spread of the CoronaVirus, which could lead to not only the closing of the cardroom but the casino and hotel itself.

In my experience people generally have enough common sense to not do that. And even if the occasional bad apple does, I still want the convenience of being able to eat while playing instead of having to go somewhere to eat alone while browsing facebook.

A majority of foods aren't finger foods anyway.

Why bother go to such the trouble of making finger foods when the path of least resistance is to none finger foods by default?

Besides, finger foods really do maximize the chances of spreading the you know what virus. Sandwiches, nachos, fries, barbecues on a stick, tacos, burritos, fried chicken, nuggets, and strips should best be avoided.

Steaks, soups, noodles, rice bowls, sushi, etc. are fine.

I've seen people eat double portions of ribs at the table. Is that the occasional bad apple? Wth are you thinking ordering that..only thing positive is when they get into a hand it narrows their ranges. Imo there are many occasional bad apples out there. Although eating tableside should be allowed. Just give it thought...that's a challenge for a lot.

This guy even eats salad with his fingers and then licks them.

They already said if there is a game they will stay open. I thought that was silly to put on the site, should have a "?" for closing.

I mean it looks decent for a small'ish room

Decent? Looks like a helluva room especially for a smaller one. They did a great job. My prediction is that it will be full of local regulars before long - not much competition over that way
