Caesars Poker Room to close for remodeling? mid July
Played today and the word going around is the rooms closing for remodeling. Not sure on the date of closing (heard maybe
Yet another news piece. Doesn't seem like any new info though.

it has specific locations and specific dates, that's better than "my brother heard it from a former dealer there that there is a rumor..."
I do like this comment that was left below the article.
" have played Poker in Las Vegas since 1978. Casinos are getting greedy with Rakes. Players are more comfortable playing 8 handed, but there are less playable hands making poker more booring to play. Many players are finding out that winning has become more difficult and are leaving the game. Poker needs to make the game more attractive to new players. Good poker games are not made up with only good players, you need a cross section of the poker population for good and profitable games. I suggest that casinos go back to at least 9 handed games and reduce the rake."
Ignoring the rake (which of course, lowering the rake would be good), but this guy has been playing poker for 47 years and his VPIP goes down with less players? I would deduce that heads up everyone probably just folds like 95% of their range using his logic. But lets put 15 people at the table and then we can play every hand ....

I don't necessarily think this commenter is connecting "less playable hands" with fewer players at the table. The connection is between "less playable hands" and "more good players", which for a recreational player, is probably true. Even very amateur players will quickly realize they need to play fewer hands if players are frequently 3-betting, which really only happens when there are several good players at the table. They can comfortably play a lot more hands when most hands are limped around, which was the norm 20 years ago.
The real solution to this is not to return to 9-handed games, but to return to offering more fixed-limit games, where rec players will not be consistently blown off their wide ranges preflop, and where rec players will also have winning sessions more often.

If there were demand for more fixed limit games then rooms would spread them. Foxwoods still regularly has a couple of 2-4 and 4-8 lhe games going. They are filled with exactly the player population you would expect: older players who are uncomfortable with no limit. By definition there are fewer and fewer of those players every year. Casinos don’t spread fixed limit games because, generally speaking, there is almost no demand for them.

The games will never grow, because the stakes are too low. Anyone who actually wants to gamble will have to play NL or PLO.
Those fixed limit games will only appeal to the fixed income folks.
Older guy from 1978 wants more players, Nick wants more limit. What they both really want is to go back to glory days when you could play as the biggest nit on planet and win money.
In the end, in order to be a winning player you have to supply some action and be a net positive on the room, the room does not need to help the nits.
I'll be in Vegas for 2 weeks, June 15th thru the 27th
I just sit in the poker rooms for 12 hours a day and nurse a buzz and get away from life for 2 weeks
Caesar's was my favorite room.
Everyone has their preferences, so dont rip on mine.
I LOVED the chaos of the room being by the sportsbook and club.
I LOVED how it was a bit rowdy and cups and bottles were everywhere.
It was the closest room to a "man cave" atmosphere after PH closed theirs down
I'm really annoyed that it's now going to be in some antiseptic room miles from the floor and foot traffic
I purposely got a seat on the edge to see the "Parade of Hotties" stroll by
I doubt I'll play there even once despite playing about 60 hours in there on my last summer trip
This is the closest thing to shutting down a room without actually shutting it down
This summer I'll likely play PH much more since it'll be back and it'll not be tucked away in some silent room that resembles a strip mall.
Also Horseshoe since I've always liked that one too.
I love the Golden Nugget since it reeks of history and Fremont Street just feels dirty and has an edge in the air.
Bellagio is always fun to go to since you feel like if the afterlife had a poker room, it would be Bellagio, the center of the poker universe. May finally play limit and buy in for some insane stack like everyone does and take a few pics and send em out saying "look at the stack I built up!!"
Always wanted to try Limit, but never read up on it

I'm not sure why you believe that limit poker allows players to win by being more of a nit. At least in my experience, I play more hands in LHE than I do in NLHE, if only because you defend your blinds a lot more. You're also doing more three-betting and lot more calling of three-bets. And you end up playing to the river much, much, more, and of course the play on every street is significantly faster.
Playing more hands is even more true in LO8, where is if often correct to open-limp and create multiway pots.
It's very simple, you want to play limit and then you found a way to justify what is best for the poker ecosystem. If you weren't a nit you would sit in whatever game offered you the most access to recreational players.

I don’t understand the personal attack here. There are reasons that some people like limit and other people like no-limit. They are very different playing experiences, and it doesn’t have to do with being a nit or not (though I do believe that limit games generally have much more action than NL). It’s just sad that the people who like limit have so few options anymore and have largely been driven out of the game. But I’ll stop posting about this here since it’s pretty off-topic for the thread.
sorry not meant to be personal attack, I just think it's easy to fall into the trap of equating what is good for the player must also be what is good for the poker room/games/etc.
sorry off topic, cheers.
Looks cool. I'm assuming all the Horseshoe nits will be moving here because it's not on the main floor and it's (probably) quiet?
That's the tournament area. I though the "new" room was going to be down on the floor.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Two rights don’t make a wrong. But three rights make a left.
I was told planning to open May 7th at PH now. The first scheduled event there for Chainsaw’s Mixed event series is May 12th so would think would open that day at the latest.
