In reply to Su Hand. Absolutely. Funny you mention that because room between tables (with the Venetian as the examplar) was on my original list and got cut for length. I could not agree with you more.

These are ALL good comments. How about ROOM BETWEEN TABLES!! As far as I’m concerned, the Venetian is the only poker room that gets this completely right. All other poker rooms have tables so close together you feel like a sardine in a can. To add to the discomfort, the ceilings are so low, you feel like you’re in a cave, and the lights are just above candle wattage. The Winstar casino in Oklahoma has large numbers above each table for easy identification. All-in-all, the Venetian gets my vote for: spacious,elegant,well-lit room with plenty of room between tables, chargers under the table, auto-shufflers, large adjustable chairs, cup holders and small tables available,plus a superior menu from Grand Luxe, Most of the dealers and staff are super friendly. I’ve been in dozens of poker rooms around the world and they get my top vote.

In reply to Vivian. Yes. I hate having to wander around looking at tables and trying to figure out a room's numbering scheme (which always seems completely random).

In reply to shawn. Fortunately, it has been years since I have had to sit in a poker room that allows smoking. But I agree, it would be lovely to have the entire casino non-smoking. Hate coming home smelling like smoke.

7. Restrooms that are close by = great convenience. 8. Table numbers above tables as opposed to on the tables prevents players from wandering around = less distractions and confusion.

smoke free casinos is top of my list.poker players need to start being vocal for non smoking enviroments.walking through a smoke filled casino to get to a poker room or when i go to the bathroom i have to breathe somebody elses bullshit.its not 1973 anymore.time to evolve.casino employees need to start more class action lawsuits against casinos that allow smoking.

In reply to DealerDonkeyDi. Yes, being able to eat at the table in general is one that I like, but didn't make the list. Some rooms won't even let you eat at the table!

I appreciate the “free” Poker menu. Although limited it reminds me to take the time to eat something nourishing. Warm Regards, GMB
