Default Re: LV Hilton closing poker room 10/17

[ QUOTE ]
I know someone who works there too, and of course I don't wish any misfortune on the staff. But some of the rooms in vegas need to close for the overall health of the poker industry. Poker caused a sensation, and all the greedy corporations tried to jump on the bandwagon without bothering to do their research first. Krispy cremes causes a sensation when they open in a new city, but they aren't stupid enough to open a new store on every corner. Can't say that for vegas casino execs. My guess is that the narrow-mindedness and greed that made the hilton open the room in the first place is the same thing that closed it. From what I've seen of casino management in las vegas I don't expect anyone to learn a damn thing from this.

What?? What are they supposed to do? "Poker sure seems to be taking off since that accountant guy won all that money. But let's not be greedy and open a poker room. We should let all the other casinos make the profit on poker."
