Stopped by the Venetian Resort Monday evening to pick up some literature and chat with the room personnel about next week’s inaugural Deep Stack Extravaganza Poker Tournament. Representing the Venetian’s first foray into the tournament poker mass market the event’s lower buy-ins, $330-$540, will guarantee a full house for the Februrary 21 thru March 11 events.
The 39 table poker room was doing a brisk business with many of the tables full of limit and no-limit players enjoying the ambiance of one of the most comfortable game rooms in the world. Located next to the front entrance the room provides players with all the amenities one would expect from one of the great World destination resorts. Daily tournaments are offered Sunday thru Friday at Noon and 8:00 PM so there is always a reason to come to the Venetian poker room. Easy parking and easy walking distance to many of the other strip hotels make the Venetian the center of it all.
