Some very good ideas in my opinion.

Glad your idea isn't set in stone.

It appears to be set in dog poo

I doubt that 'Well Read Ted' has ever read anything about how annoying being stubborn as a mule is to everyone else in the world.

lol, one year TJ was provided $10,000 for a WSOP seat buyin in return for some marketing work, i.e playing against customers of an online site. As fate would have it, he was shut out from entry into the WSOP when the last Day One was oversubscribed.

The money was his to enter the WSOP, but its return was never sought and I suspect the Rio or some other gaming property ended up the beneficary.

Agree, also use Tim "TheTrooper97" Watts as the local "Celebrity greeter".

OP, maybe we should change the title of the thread for you, as it's obvious now you aren't really asking a question. I'd suggest something like:

View: A poker-themed hotel could make it in Vegas, and nothing you say will convince me otherwise.

It would have been ...

"As US Poker reported earlier this week, the two events boasted a combined $125,000 in guaranteed prize-money, and PokerStars was left holding the bag for $31,000 of it. The overlay equated to 25 percent of the prize-pool:

“The $220 Sunday Special Live event drew just 409 entries over four starting flights Oct. 6 and 7. With the fees removed, that left PokerStars $18,200 short of meeting the event’s $100,000 guarantee.

“The $120 Cheap and Deep event on Oct. 8 had a $25,000 guarantee, but the 119 entries it drew forced PokerStars to fork over more than half of that. No matter what kind of spin you put on it, a $13,100 overlay in a $25,000 guaranteed event is a big one.”"

I spent 50 minutes on a Sunday night reading this whole damn thread. What is wrong with me

Hey they could offer up poker stage show that will be INTERACTIVE!!! That would surely be a hit...

OP,

Do not let the universal dismissal of your idea stop you from attaining your dream. Show everyone by setting up a Gofundme campaign to support your vision, and then you, and nobody else, will be in control of both dollars it may raise.

All the best.

So you’re assuming that there are wealthy investors out there who would invest tens of millions of dollars in a Las Vegas casino property but don’t want to spend the money on a gaming license, or even know if they can get one?

The Lucky Dragon would not have failed if they would have catered to the pokerz.

tis a weird thread, but occasional weird threads keeps NVG fun and click worthy.

lol'd


cheap and easy are two words never before uttered in the same sentence having anything to do with getting licensed in NV

also, fyi, only two types of operator licenses in NV.. Restricted and Unrestricted.

Restricted are the video poker machines you see all over. Unrestricted are the casinos and does not become easier in any way if poker only.

But I am asking a question and that question is Could a poker themed hotel make it in Vegas.


You will notice “nowhere” do I say “Try to Convince me (the thread creator) a poker themed hotel can or can’t make in Las Vegas.” This thread is not about me. If nobody has convinced me a poker themed hotel couldn’t make it– So What!

Why some people want to make this thread about me for some reason I quite don’t understand. I have a feeling, though, there are some forces out there that like the status quo, don’t want the competition, and somehow feel threatened by the ideas in this thread and want it to go away. But again, nowhere in the OP do I say this thread is about convincing me.

One poster said to me my idea makes “Zero Financial Sense”. Now “Zero” Financial Sense really sounds like a guy who can’t be convinced otherwise. But he’s got the right to his opinion and after listening to him and others I’ve got the right to mine. I just feel some people in this thread should forget about me and concentrate on what I asked.


If the views other people present are powerful (like maybe the view shown in post 101) and people like them, then how I feel shouldn’t mean a hill of beans. Everybody should present their views and then people can make up their own minds on how they feel. And if you aren’t convinced about either side’s point of view, then you aren’t convinced. My purpose for this thread is to present new ideas, and then those very few people out there who have the power and resources to act on those ideas can act on them if they so choose.

Lets unpack that a bit

Dragon built a themed hotel/casino kinda like what OP proposed. Primary difference is Dragon was focused on one of the most profitable customer segments and OP's is targeted toward the least profitable segment.

So, not sure I can concur with your assertion.

Note to OP. dont fret. Many once thought nobody in their right mind would pay for a ride from a total stranger in some random vehicle.

But gotta keep it real. NV just wont work for what you suggest. Maybe some cities in Europe or South America it would at least have a chance and be WAY less expensive to find out.

You might be right; now who wouldn't want to play poker under a huge golden glass dragon.

There's still time for some poker lovin' billionaire to snatch it up.

See, if you were genuinely asking a question, here’s an example of how that would go:

OP: Is Circus Circus a nice hotel to stay at with a new girlfriend I’m trying to impress?

20 Different Posters: Dear God, no! That is a terrible idea! Why would you consider that?

OP: Thank you for answering my question. We will not stay at the Circus Circus.

But if instead the OP responds: But many women value thrift and find trapeze acts to be a turn-on. I wonder if some of the people here manage rival casinos and are trying to sabotage a competitor.

You see, then the OP is obviously not just asking a question. He is advocating for a position, and when he’s the only one doing so, that becomes the focus of the thread.

As for “Zero Financial Sense,” can you show a few numbers that would indicate otherwise? Seems to me it makes no financial sense to spend tens of millions of dollars to host low-rake, generously comped poker games to act as basically a loss leader to fill a small cheap hotel, but perhaps I’m wrong.

Any ideas on a name for the hotel?

Also perfect when you find out your profit margins are horrible and you want to transition to a brothel.

No, you're not. In your own words, this is what you're doing:

That was my point.

Best of luck with your wonderful new idea being acted on by one of those very few people. I wouldn't get my hopes up too high if I were you, though.

P.S.

LOL that you still won't let this go.

A loss leader that doesn't lead anywhere is merely a loss.
