I'm kinda curious how this all interacts with the rumors that the WSOP was facing a dealer shortage. Honestly I'd assumed side series might be off or heavily reduced this year. Maybe the idea of a shortage was BS all along?
The Venetian has an advantage in that it has most of the necessary dealers as full time employees. Even when they expanded their summer series to 100 tables a few years ago, I think they got most of their extra dealers in-house.
We haven’t seen what they have planned yet, but given they have been running pretty much a non-stop series for the last year, I doubt they’ll have any dealer issues. WSOP might be a different story though.
Of course I’m guessing there are lots of dealers out there who may be looking to get back to work so it may not be that hard staffing up.
