Let it go. I'm often Johnny's biggest critic but it sounds like he's been doing everything right as far as following safety guidlines and meeting demand as best as possible.

Good work Johnny, I'm sure it has been an absolute ****in headache to get this set up.

JG good job!

We all wish we can get back to normal soon. But as things are progressing it would take a lot of time.

Please post a pic of the room if possible with the plexi setup, here or twitter is fine!

Sorry, I don't have a picture to post. I saw a picture online somewhere. But, I can't recall where I saw the picture.

I couldn't get a closer look at the tables. I am not sure who that person is in the picture as well. Some random guy roaming around the room I presume.

I've seen several "rooms with plexiglass" pics and this room seems to have the best setup by far.

wtf are you talking about?
go play somewhere else if you're unhappy about how the poker room is set up.

and while you're at it, go troll somewhere else as well.

It looks a little different in the twitter pic than the 1st one GolfPro linked. I'd now say it's on par with some other places, but the best places.

The Plexiglass at MGM looks custom made. Plus, I think there it a bit more room at each seat at the MGM tables. The Plexiglass at live has visible screws and a large metal bar that wraps around the top. They both work. But, I think the Plexiglass at MGM is just less noticeable.

Poker room is in great shape. Love the extra space between tables and players, and plexiglass is hardly noticeable. No more Snacks stench either. Well done. Couple comments though. Would just one table transfer per 8 hours hurt, as Live does? Also, seats were not always cleaned by the time I got to the table so I cleaned them myself. There doesn't seem to be a system in place whereby dealers notify the floor that a seat needs cleaning as Live has ("clean team!" is shouted). Should we call over the floor before taking a seat or is that the dealer's responsibility?

Snacks is closed and you are not allowed to eat in the poker room.

Are tournaments anywhere in the foreseeable future? Or are they on hold with all the table shortages and movement restrictions?

Unable to tell if the harshly negative post complaining about the abundance of harsh negative posting is troll humor or someone lacking a modicum of of self-awareness. Funny either way. +1

Anybody who's played in the room since reopening... can you give an overview of your experience?

Mostly want to know what the feel is like of playing surrounded by plexi glass, available space at the table, comfort-ability, cleanliness, etc.

I haven't been to Live, and from the pictures, it just has the "feel" of like playing poker in a secluded box without much room to do anything.

Thinking about making a trip in the near future.
