You friends with Matt238? You really can't have too many friends and he's a really nice, really large man.

Haha QFT. If poker doesn't work out I'll rent myself out for protection services.

LOL perfumament questions:

1. Where within the Venetian are these tournaments going to be played? I heard a rumor that Venetian was going to move the tournaments into a ballroom or conference center or something which would get away from those damn machines and the smoke on the rail. Maybe this has already happened, IDK. Anyone?

2. Do the hotel rooms at the Venetian have the same ****ing perfume pumped through them or is the perfume limited to the lobby/casino areas?

know about the smell and do not care, vanetian is great and its funny that shaniac likes the bellagio cafe as the service there is atrocious and the food sucks while grand lux is literally the exact opposite. Knowing this I can only imagine how much the smell must really bother him for him to think this

Bellagio Cafe has the best steak and eggs in the Western world. I always eat at the counter, but the service I get there is always great.

Nope, there was no such tourney for NAPT-Venetian. Perhaps you saw an EPT 3x-turbo?

Hi guys. I brought the issue mentioned above to our Events folks, and have good news for Vegas residents.

If you live in Las Vegas and thus do not need a room for NAPT-Venetian, we will rescind your room reservation and credit you with the value of said room ($890). You must provide proof of residence within 50 miles of the Venetian Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas to take advantage of this offer.

This offer is valid for this event only, and is being made available due to the number of players who live in the Las Vegas area who will be seeking to qualify on PokerStars for NAPT-Venetian.

This offer must be taken advantage of by 5pm ET on February 11th.

nice move bryan

fwiw the smell is something I noticed subconsciously when I first went there and then saw it on 2p2, went back and realized that I had noticed it before but just didn't care enough to bring it to my conscious mind

I still don't mind it at all
