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.
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.
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.
