Man, I miss the IP race and sports book. Up the escalator on the 2nd floor. They even had a Signa Derby up there..

I would bet a lot of money that no strip casino had even half as many 100+ BB pots per hour as PH did at it's peak. Money was thrown around. Heck, I would bet that PH had more 300 BB pots per hour than any other strip casino had 100 BB pots per hour

Then throw in the girls dancing on the poles and people watching aspect of the drunken debauchery that went on the main aisle of people going to the nightclub and it was insane.

PH was a poker destination simply because you were likely to see something that you had never seen before every time you went there.
Maybe it switched to 1/3 at one point because it used to be 1/2. And the 1/2 games were good, but I didn’t find them any better than 1/2 games at places like MGM and Mandalay Bay. Mandalay Bay might have been even softer because regs hated it so much.

I will check it out in another week or so when I qualify for free parking and start parking at Palazzo.
Thank you for the updates. I’m coming out the final week of June and will swing by for a look, too.
