TI Poker Room Opening Wed 4/12
 

http://allvegaspoker.com/news_detail_157.html

The room is currently viewable (no drapes or anything covering it up so if you are curious you can take a look. If you aprk in the garage (or take the tram from Mirage) its located at the bottom of the escalator so you don't have to walk through the whole casino. There is lots of walk by traffic.

Its a nice looking room with 8 tables. They have the same tracking system they use at MGM with the dealer swiping players cards.

I was just there this weekend and couldn't figure out what that was. I thought maybe it was a tournament only room or something. Very cool, too bad I wasn't there next weekend.

I like the sound of Tangerine Mixer. I may have to swing by TI while I'm in town in May.

Has Kahunaville been moved or is it behind the Starbucks (were a restaurant used to be in the past)?

Just curious as I wasn't at the TI for some time.

Thanks

I like the idea of offering different games, but let's be realistic. The games people who stay at TI will want to play are 2-4 hold 'em and baby no limit. Maybe on a weekend night they'll get a 4-8 game going.

Re: TI Poker Room Opening Wed 4/12
 

Kahunaville is still there. The Poker room is closer to the casino (from the escaltor you would turn right to go to Kahunaville, but you go straight to get the Poker Room.)

Did they finally take out the baby/kids clothing store there? Talk about idiocy. They are trying to get rid of the mom/pop with the kids on vacation to see the pirates...but they opened a kids/baby clothing store right after they turned to TI a couple years ago.

Re: TI Poker Room Opening Wed 4/12
 

I thought "TI" was a lot more fun when they were appealing to the mom & pop crowd. Now it's just lame.

I worked there a couple years ago. It seemed to me that the casino had lost its identity on the strip. They were trying and still are, to rebrand it more like a Hard Rock or Palms style and they got rid of what made them Treasure Island.

The Travel Channel didn't help at all. For over 1.5 years after the changeover and the 86ing of the Pirate show for that new "Sirens" show, they were still airing episodes of the "new stuff in vegas" and the OLD Treasure Island shows/events were all on there. People would constantly complain that what we had was not what was advertised on TV and that's false advertising...yada yada. Sorry folks, TC isn't advertising...its basically a documentary with false/out of date info.

Re: TI Poker Room Opening Wed 4/12
 

The baby clothing store is next to the poker room. We are told that if the room catches on there may be an expansion into that space.

The opening time is now Noon tomorrow.

Re: TI Poker Room Opening Wed 4/12
 

i will actually go to this room on occasion to play 3-6 NL w/ a 1k buyin

Re: TI Poker Room Opening Wed 4/12
 

Anyone know if they are going to have a player room rate?

Re: TI Poker Room Opening Wed 4/12

"No Limit and Mid-Limit: Instead of a rake, the NL Hold’em and 9/18 Hold’em games will collect time. 1/3 NL will be $4/person/half hr and the 3/6 will be $5/half hr."

oh christ, a 3/6NL game with more $3 chips in play

doesn't the Wynn have a monopoly on this (it's a terrible idea anyway)

I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but I bet a lot of people can't multiply by 3 to figure out how much they're betting.

AllVegasPoker-
Your page has one limit game listed as 9/10.

Any idea on the 9/18 time charge? I didn't see that on there.

Next time I am at the Wynn, I will walk across the street and check it out and let you know... Should be pretty good, "I raise 18 chips!" call, call, "how many chips, oh okay I call too!", you might as well call too sir, it's only 16 more chips to you... LMAO!

seriously, I played the Wynn game once, I just used reds and blues

Re: TI Poker Room Opening Wed 4/12
 

The NL games do not use $3 chips.

The manager says that if the $9/$18 takes off that there will eventually be $3 chips for that game, but not for the NL game.

Re: TI Poker Room Opening Wed 4/12
 

And they do not allow this any time I've been there recently. The managers refuse to allow red's on the game.
