Why the South Point?

[Bluegrass Poker]

I just assumed the South Point gave the producers of HSP the best deal in return for using their location. South Point gets a ton of advertising from the show. Just count how many times they show the casino and how many times Gabe and AJ say "South Point" next episode.

I wasn't aware of the WPT contract issue but all that would do is make it easier for a property like South Point to buy the HSP location. If you take out the Vegas casinos with WPT events and exclude the Harrah's properties assuming they have some sort of agreement with ESPN then it really thins the competition for hosting the show. Where else has it been filmed, Golden Nugget I know but wasn't it somewhere else one season as well?

it was also at the palms....they shoulda had it there, the palms had the best waitresses....as opposed to the ones they have this season, which are the worse.

I know for sure one of the waitresses works at the Bellagio so they arent using house waitresses.

The Gaughan family is well-known in Las Vegas. Michael Gaughan (Gone) is the son of Jackie Gaughan, who is a true pioneer of gaming in LV along with Sam Boyd and Bennie Binion.

Michael Gaughan owned all of the Coast Casinos in town then sold out to the Boyd Group. His most notable casino was the Barbary Coast which was sold to Harrahs and renamed "Bills".

You must be joking. The girl in the opening is incredible.
