Re: LV Hilton closing poker room 10/17
[ QUOTE ]
The small rooms often appeal to the players who, for whatever reason, don't care to play in the larger rooms.

Insofar as rooms like the Hilton are concerned, much of the poker traffic comes from hotel guests. Some will venture to other casinos specifically to play poker, but a large portion of them will just gamble at some other game inside the hotel. So when small rooms close, this portion of (usually terrible) players is lost.

Hopefully, fewer rooms would mean they'd be more likely to keep games going during off-hours, and full rooms at peak times.

Yes, a contraction of the poker market will likely lead to more game selection, but those games will also likely see rakes skyrocket.
