So it looks like the Venetian poker room is opening on April 1st (
http://www.venetian.com/casino/poker_room.cfm). They claim they will be spreading $4-$8 up to $4000-$8000.
Funny.
What evidence is there to suggest that this room won't end up being like just about every other room that has opened in the past year? They all claim they will spread high limit games, but in the end it just turns out to be another joint dealing $2-4, $4-$8, and the mandatory baby no limit game. If Casears can't get anything higher than $6-$12 going (which itself seems to be pretty difficult at times), what makes the Venetian think that they can? I also love how all of the new rooms claim they will offer Stud and Omaha in addition to Hold 'em. How many rooms in the city of Las Vegas are able to get a Stud or Omaha game going on a regular basis?
That being said, it sounds like an awesome room. Hopefully they get a little bit more out of their money than Caesars did.
