Las Vegas Poker
Good afternoon... It has been a while since there was a post on this blog, so lets see what we have.
Las Vegas poker is booming. As of January 1, 2006, there were about 42% more poker tables in Vegas then there were on January 1, 2005. The Venetian will open in early April adding another 36 tables to the total. They say they will have a separate high-stakes area that will offer butler service and gourment dining.
Next we will probably see at some poker rooms, food feeders. You know, when the butler brings the food, the food feeder is there to put the food in your mouth. Sweet!!!
Word on the street is that yet another room is in the making. Look for Boyd Gaming to put a room downtown. They have three locations available, The Fremont, The California Club or Main Street Station. Previously in the downtown area, the Fremont had a room.
Speaking of downtown! Binion's will be hosting the "American Poker Player Championship". This tournament begins on May 11, 2006 and runs through May 24, 2006. This tournament should do well. The buy-ins are affordable ($300-$5,000) and there is a nice list of events to play.
The Heads-up championship gets underway at Caesar's on Friday. 64 of poker's finest will be playing. A quote by one of the players, "Certainly, there can be no doubt that I am the pre-tournament favorite." Think about it?
My pick is Barry Greenstein to win it all. No reason, just my pick. The way I have been running at poker, I have probably just put the kiss of death on him.
Okay folks, act when it is your turn!
Thanks for playing.
