A private bar, bottle service, certified masseuses, music, plush couches, and video poker machines … sounds more like a nightclub than a traditional poker room.

It seems like its the multi billion high-end luxury casino resorts that get all the attention nowadays (both positive and negative), but what about the little guy?
Las Vegas Sun has a really excellent article about the smaller, off-strip casinos that is a must read for anyone interested in the casino business. I feel so guilty neglecting these little guys, especially after reading this, that I hereby promise to do more to pay attention to the small casinos that give Las Vegas so much character. Read more

PokerTek, the industry pioneer and worldwide leader in automated poker tables and related software, is pleased to announce that Excalibur Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is installing 12 PokerPro tables.

Pending final regulatory inspection and approval, plans to open the new room Friday, August 22 at 6 p.m.
“We are delighted beyond words that an operator of Excalibur’s quality is opening a 100% PokerPro poker room on the strip. It is commentary on how far PokerTek and automated poker have come in such a short time,” said PokerTek’s CEO Chris Halligan. “The acceptance of the game has grown substantially in the last year and continues to grow as our footprint expands.”
“We continue to hit major milestones,” continues Halligan. “We’ve opened a successful 20-plus table room in Montreal, a beautiful 12 table room in Michigan, a high-end 12-table room in Atlantic City and now 12 tables in the gaming hub of the world, Las Vegas. With more than 230 PokerPro tables currently installed worldwide, we are ready for the Nevada market.” Read more
