Venetian poker room changeup - Page 3 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

Yeah no doubt. In Venetian I’m there maybe 10-15 total days a year but you inevitably always see a player or two on a 3-4 day trip who just wandered their way into the room because of where it is. Problem is they’re usually nitty and clueless so more often than not they slow the game down more than anything. I don’t think moving the game upstairs will hurt a ton. You won’t get those players as much but they contribute so little anyhow

You don't want first timers at your table. It's an immutable law of physics they will sun-run. It even happened to me in my first tournament. I literally had people groaning at my table because I was raising so much,

I think you guys underestimate the potential for upscale shoppers to wander in.

Sometimes I wish the forums had a sarcasm font.

You really want poker room employees playing, believe me.

Walked by where it's gonna be this morning. Shops level right around the corner from the Palazzo elevator bank.

I haven't seen the actual location, but this is going to be horrible. Turn a good poker room into crap.

They already did this about 6 or 7 years ago.

Venetian is my go-to spot for staying and gambling though I'll usually stay on the Palazzo side so I can walk over to the Wynn. Regular poker players and even semi-informed tourists like myself already seem to know about the new room and will likely give it a try given how central the casino is.

So this gives the Venetian one last chance to make a good impression with their poker. It'll likely be packed for a few weeks and after that it'll live and die by the quality of dealers, drink service, overall vibe of the room and the fish like me it can attract and retain.
