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.
Not in that 'couple of weeks'...
I was doubtful. As you are in/from Vegas. Is the map provided here even close to scale? The new space is much larger than the old space. Is this true? Are they going to use all the new space for poker? Is the room going to be ‘that much’ larger than the old.
What I find interesting is that PH is going to re-open their poker room. Granted it is going to be on the 2nd floor, no where near the casino floor. I wonder how much of this is an attempt at prestige.
One of the qualifiers to be a 5 star resort is that they must offer certain games, including poker. It can be part time (like Mandalay Bay), but it has time be offered.
I wonder if reopening PH is a weak attempt at becoming a 5 star resort. It is a long shot, but PH is Caesars/El Dorados and most valuable property in Vegas so why not?
It will be interesting.
Where are you seeing that PH is going to re-open their poker room?
It's as confirmed as Harrahs/Flamingo reopening after borrowing their workforce for the WSOP and as confirmed as Caesars temporarily closing only to accommodate high limit slots renovation.
In other words, it's all just rumors from people NOT in the know or just hoping Caesars sees the rumors and goes ya we forgot to reopen them and there seems to be interest. Let's reopen them.
The way I see it, if they were truly reopening, for one wouldn't you want to make a big announcement? Two, you need a decent sized staff to run a poker room so there would be public postings of job openings. You can't just pull 20-30 for PH or maybe 100 for Caesars out of thin air.
Rule#1: believe it when you see it
Rule#2: you might be able to skip #1 if there is an official announcement with concrete dates and plans.
Rule#3: nothing is official until it is official
Reality: it is more likely that a room will close than one will ever reopen

I doubt anyone at PHo thinks they are a 5 star resort.
Dang-was really hoping this rumor was real. Had some great sessions at PH. Games usually had lots of action.
