Hahaha yeah, I can't disagree with that.
However, my point is this: if a poker-centric venue was a viable idea, someone in Vegas would have done it by now, and it most likely would have happened sometime around 2005 or so. A casino would have discovered poker to be so profitable that it would be worth replacing table games and machines with more tables, step by step, until we reached something resembling the OP's vision.
I suppose the closest we've come is the WSOP, during which the Rio turns its entire convention center into a poker-only behemoth. So maybe for a few months every year, it DOES happen.
