Venetian Poker Room Review

Venetian Las Vegas Offers Posh Poker and Tournaments

Print-icon
 

On April 2, the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino will unveil one of the most posh poker rooms in the world. With nearly 10,500 square feet of space, the room has 39 tables spreading a wide array of games suited to both the recreational poker player and the seasoned veteran. The room has a high-class feel with its rich leather and wood décor accents. State-of-the-art technology, including 21 42-inch plasma televisions throughout the room, complimentary valet parking, tableside dining, and a separate high-stakes area offering butler service and gourmet dining are amenities that make it outstanding.

The room has low-hanging chandeliers and smoked etched glass separating the poker area from the casino. Its $2.5 million cost is perceivable without appearing ostentatious. The room is the largest of its kind in Las Vegas, yet remains intimate and full of ambience.

A large, luxurious separate lounge area is located near the sportsbook. This private parlor features alcove seating with six full-sized sofas, several loveseats and upholstered chairs, seven studio tables with seating, exquisite artwork, television monitors, lamp lighting, and private reading nooks.

The poker room is located just inside the front entrance, providing easy access for Strip pedestrians. Local players can utilize the parking garage or valet service, located only a short distance from the poker room.

Daily and evening tournaments will be hosted and managed by Tim Mix, a familiar name in the poker industry.

A food court, coffee shop, Noodles Asia, and other fine restaurants are easily accessible from the poker room.

Poker management considers the room "the new face of poker." With its competent staff, palatial space, impressive service, and countless amenities, the new Venetian poker room has the tools to make it happen.
