Caesars Poker Room to close for remodeling? mid July
Played today and the word going around is the rooms closing for remodeling. Not sure on the date of closing (heard maybe July 16) or reopening, but one of the dealers did say they offered to give him a job in Laughlin in the meanwhile.
If it does close hopefully it does actually reopen and not just disappear.
softest game is Mandalay Bay. it can be slow and stagnant (every room can) but it is almost entirely recreational tourists. I've had a lot of really profitable sessions there.
I was at Mandalay in October when they had a high hand promo and it was a bunch of the same promo nits I saw at MGM for the NFL game seat drawings.
Point is, this is a question that has been asked for decades. what does the question even mean?
deepest stacks?
fewest pros?
fewest regs?
most whales?
most recs?
loosest players?
most lively games?
most games?
these are not private home games where things are constant, these are public casino poker rooms which change day to day, hour to hour, table to table. the same person can have a completely different experience at one table within a few hours, or two people at the same time at different tables can have a completely different experience.
if there was a "soft" room it wouldn't stay like that for long because the pros would find it and swarm. then the games would suck at that place
additionally, the best game for me may not be a great game in your opinion. or, you are in an objectively good game but you hit a couple bad beats and have a huge losing session. how good is the game then?
Hours promos seem to draw the biggest nits consistently, in my experience. That or big promos like that NFL promo at MGM. I stupidly tried it twice and couldn't find a good game there.

I think that is why the Wynn ($1/$3) is one of the softest. They do not have any promos. No promo grinders. The couple of grinders they have are all ABC players who likely like to say they are winners at the Wynn (as if beating up on newbies is a brag).
The $2/$5 is way more reg infested.
I suspect some of the nitty regs are scared to play 1-3 at the Wynn or Aria. If you don’t believe me just watch some of the Old Man Coffee videos of him playing at the Westgate. And I notice El Diesel almost never played at Wynn even though he certainly would have made more money there. OTOH some 2-5 players might occasionally play in the games.
But this is about 1-2 or 1-3. All the rooms are soft. Someone might play at Aria or Mandalay or MGM a few times, notice soft tables and think “Wow the games are great here” thinking the games are soft because of the room when it’s really the stakes making the games soft.
And sometimes it’s just variance if a room seems softer. Or the time of the year/week/day you go.
