MSUspartan4,

Do you still offer a poker rate $79 week/$99 weekend? If so,is it available March 23-25th?

Thanks

Craig

The poker rate varies each week/weekend. Call our marketing people at 702-894-7222 to check rates for specific days, and also to book the room.

Thanks!

Troy

Troy,

Thank You

Craig

there's one dealer there that's really bad, the rest are all good. we're probably talking about the same one.

FWIW I'm in the process of finding out the bad apple and fixing it. If anyone who reads this thread has any issues with anything related to the TI poker room, please PM me so that I can address any issues, including dealers to make it better for everyone else.

Thanks!

Troy

When is the promo going to end?

what is the rake like in TI? and can you give weekly average of tables how they are doing.
Is there anyone doing this promo for the past 3 months, since it began? How is that going for you?

Rake:
$1 at $10
$1 at $20
$1 at $30
$1 at $100

Jackpot rake:
$1 at $10
$1 at $30

Comps: $2 per hour

We reduce rake at 6 players or less.
On weekends the games usually go 24/7. During the week, the first game starts at 11am and runs until at least 5am. Weekdays usually 2 games going, weekends 4. The promo has brought solid participation and hopefully will continue to improve as we just added free WiFi and have another great promotion lined up for April. Details to come next week.

We have no plans to end this anytime soon.

Thanks, for the info. I'm heading out there soon (:

do they regularly have a $2/$5?

They almost never have a 2/5 which is why I'm not playing there.

No, but our $1-$3 has a $100-$500 buy in, so often times it plays close to a $2-$5.

Play 10 hours = $50
Play 20 hours = $150
Play 30 hours = $250
Play 40 hours = $400

Does this still apply? Is there a link for the promo info if so?

Played the 11am tourney last Friday. Nice, friendly room, good dealers and a generally fun table. Thanks.

msu how has the action been lately? still at least 2 games going during weekdays? is the promo still going strong?

Was only a single 1/3 last night, although it was able to stay nearly full most of the night.

I'm really surprised it wasn't fuller with the WSOP going. It used to be packed, with every table full durng WSOP. This room has really fallen off the radar. Maybe they need to advertise in Card Player or Bluff or something. They certainly need to get on Bravo Live, since they are using Bravo anyway. PHo was rocking in comparison, with a good 6 games running. Pho and TI used to run neck and neck. Not any more.

Generally speaking they are suffering a similar fate of many smaller rooms in town the last couple of years. But specifically I think they are also a victim of their location. While the Mirage is not what it once was, they still provide plenty of competition. And of course the behemoth that is the Venetian is right across the street where they have 800 games going on any given night. The guys in the TI room work really hard to promote their room and I give them all the credit in the world for their efforts. But if you can't pack a room giving away more than 2.5k a month, maybe this is one of those problems that just doesn't have an answer.

I haven't seen them work all that hard. What are you speaking of? Printing up fliers and having them in the poker room? Do they advertise in actual POKER magazines? why aren't they on Bravo live? That's where I found out about Pho's promotions, and they got my business.

I was speaking specifically of those who work in the room. I agree with you that the larger casino itself and those that make the decisions regarding larger scale advertising are doing a terrible job of promoting the room.

This is how sad it is - the poker room link on TI's own website is dead. You can't even fiind out about the poker room on their own hotel's website.

I am no longer the poker room manager at TI. I resigned a few weeks ago. I'm moving back to Michigan with my family to raise my son close to home.

I will still drop in every now and again and give my 2 cents, am certain I will still be in touch with a lot that is happening in the room. I have been there since the room opened and I still want the best for it and all those that work there.

One thing I do want to mention is the part about advertising in magazines, etc... I tried for 4 years to get magazine ads, and was turned down over and over. The owner doesn't believe in print ad, and getting any money from the casino for any kind of advertising is nearly impossible.

Anyways, those that I've been in touch with, I wish you the best.
