Wynn to MOVE poker room (was: Rumor: Wynn to close it's poker room)

According to VegasTodayAndTomorrow:

"According to an inside source, Encore will have an interesting feature. Between the "garden" area and the casino. There will be a small indoor lake with two bridges to an island. The island will house the new poker room and the VIP high-limit slot area (that will surly keep the gawkers from breathing down the necks of the poker players).

The old poker room at WLV and the rooms around it will be removed, widening the corridor that now leads to the theaters (Le Reve and Spamalot). This reclaimed area will be an expansion to the WLV casino and the path to Encore. (remember, this is just a rumor)."

I always feel like a zoo exhibit when playing 2-5 at Wynn because the railtards can be right on you. The higher limit area works out fine, but positioning the room in the middle of both hotels seems to make perfect sense.

VegasTodayAndTomorrow is a sick site too. They do an excellent job showing you everything that's going on in Vegas in terms of construction / new hotels etc.

For those not aware, Encore is the new Wynn project which is going up rapidly.

It's not going to "close". It's probably getting moved.

Technically you need to close it before you move it, right? haha. The thread sounds more exciting with 'close' rather than 'move'.

It also misleads people about what is really happening to the Wynn poker room.

Stupidly worded thread title.

And that sucks if they actually end up getting rid of the rail.

The original plan (a few years ago) was to have a poker room at both locations. They also thought the current room would have taken all of the high limit action in town so a change of plans would seem likely.

That blows. The room is in the perfect location right now. The very, very slight bother caused by railbirds is more than offset by the skank parade late night on the way to the parking garage.

People who don't want to be watched while they play assure themselves of far fewer tourist walk-in players and far more of the players that know what they are doing and are willing to seek out poker tables. The rail is a good thing, although currently in the wynn it could use to be about 5 feet back from where it is without moving the tables.
