Characters and People in Vegas Poker Rooms?

I haven't been to vegas since 2012. Back when i was there, i played mostly low stakes at wynn and caesars for a few months before i left. Even though i played low stakes, i recall the floor ppl remember me and know my name because i played there a lot. Im curious but would it be safe to assume lot of the floorpeople and dealers and players there back then probably aren't there anymore?

Also i assume its fine to ask about certain ppl whether they are floorman or dealers etc if i just give them a description and not their name? Almost all, ii don't remember their name as its been a while. This was around Fall of 2012 or so.

Wynn- I recalled back when i went to the wynn, there was almost always 2 people who were there at the podium where you sign up to be put on list.

One was a pretty young guy, i guess late early 30s who was pretty tall. He sort of looked like that young guy from the Office except he had dark hair.

Also there was a lady that worked at the podium as well... middle age and brunette and very friendly i recalled. She sometimes even played 1/3nl at the wynn. I don't have a clue or remember their names anymore. I assume she no longer works there anymore?

There was this Asian guy i recalled who i kept hearing people call Jacky. This guy always seem to play 5/10nl or whatever is the highest game and i heard ppl say his name a lot at the poker room. I assume this guy no longer plays there? Was he some high stakes high roller or something? I recall he would buy in very deep at 5/10.

Cowboy Guy with Dice- This guy i seen a lot play at the wynn back then when i was there. He had a cowboy jacket, hat... also cowboy boots as well. But he had dice that he rolled... he would say things like okay if i roll a certain number, i call or fold. Of course i knew this was like an act. But is that guy still there?

Any of those characters I mentioned still there or it's completely different from now?

Is the Iceman still at venetian?

Are there still regs from say 2/5NL that still play there? I recall at wynn, whenever I was there back years ago, you would notice the same regs at 2/5nl back then. I didn't play that one but it always seemed to be the same set of players at 2/5nl and 5/10nl.

Yes, they are all still there sitting around waiting for you to come back from when you were in Vegas in 2012. They talk about you a lot.


Lol Venetian doesn’t even have 2-5 anymore and the rake has gone way up from the $4+0 they had back then.

Venetian doesn’t care about cash games. They have turned into the best tournament poker room in Vegas, only the Wynn rivals it..

Lol what.

Orleans has the best daily tournaments.

To complete the above lesson, which literally no one was wondering about,

Denmark is world re-known for the size of its dogs, fictional moody princes, water-logged mermaids, and the quality of its cheese pastries.

When I read this during breakfast this morning, I almost did a spit take with the Kaffe & Danish I was eating at the time.

Maybe in 2017. Not today.

Wynn and Venetian by far are the best.

Props to SouthPoint. Their new Tournament schedule is now #1 for local casinos, surpassing The Orleans..


Is that Jackie from the Wynn a very famous player or something? I just remembered lot of people knew him there.

I got to assume the atmosphere is much different as I heard the room moved from wynn to encore a while back? I don't know why but I always felt like where the room was at wynn was really nice for some reason. I checked videos of encore room and it just looks like a big open room. The wynn room for some reason seemed to be really nice even though it wasn't a big room.
