This page says the poker rates are 89/159 yeah.
I got $25 comped for playing in the 8-16 o8 game. A day or two later I played in the 15-30 HE too and asked to get comped for that - the guy at the front desk said "didn't you already get that comp?", and I said no I got 8-16 O8 and I was told that you could get multiple comps for different games/limits, and he said that they're not comping for hold 'em anymore. Doesn't bother me anyway because the half rake deal is all the comp I'd ever ask for, but I figured I'd give it a shot since the 8-16 thread says you can get multiple $25s.
I saw 1-2 PLO going 2 days of the last week, but I can't remember which two for sure.
Anyway - just wanted to say that I'm really impressed with the room. I'm a lazy creature of habit so I settled into a few regular joints and hadn't been to the Venetian in a long time and was impressed by everything - quality of the room, number/types of games, the staff. I'm kicking myself for not realizing how great the room was sooner - and the 8-16 games with $2 rake are easily the best deal in town. I'm hoping that one manages to stay going for a while long yet.
