I'm convinced that it's because they have gone to such extremes to prevent people selling the lammers. The people in charge are obviously not the sharpest knives in the drawer and would rather people not sell them (for some unkown reason) instead of making more rake, selling more hotel rooms, and selling more crappy food in their restaurants.
I haven't played a singe Venetian SNG where in past years I played several on each trip. The reason being that the floor are such major ***holes. Nobody wants to play them, from what I saw. I never saw more than one running and they usually had 4 or 5 going at a time. One night I stopped by and saw one set up for a buyin I didn;t want to play. I wanted to ask a floor if they could set up a different buyin, but I couldn't get one to even hear my request. I played absolutely zero at the Venetian this year, and paid not a cent in rake. Unless I hear things have changed next year, I'm not going back.
BTW I think moving the SNG's completely to the Palazzo was a monumental mistake. How do such stupid people become decision makers in these casinos? Who are the people most likely to want to play a SNG? Poker players. Where are most of the poker players? In the poker room! Not randoms wandering around the Palazzo. They need to have some in the poker room AND tell people about it (for all I know they had some in the poker room but I never heard about it).
