Venetian Details
The Venetian Poker Room is the largest poker room in Las Vegas, encompassing 59 tables, and offers a host of amenities and game selection to all players. Since The Venetian Poker Room opened in 2006 it has been repeatedly honored by the Las Vegas Review Journal as a “Best of Las Vegas” designation for overall customer service. The Venetian Poker Room offers many amenities such as a dedicated cashier cage, two separate high limit areas, tableside foodservice, player wait list and comp management, dedicated tournament registration desk, and a customer lounge.
The Venetian Poker Room is located directly adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip frontage, with a main Strip entrance being located only a few feet from the west room entrance. Physically, the Venetian Poker Room is well spaced out which allows for high traffic and easy wheelchair access. All poker tables are fitted with automatic shufflers and a tableside management system that enables the dealers to notify chip runners, floor personnel, cocktail servers, and food porters when their services are needed. Aesthetically, the Venetian Poker Room matches the opulence of the rest of The Venetian Resort, with large crystal chandeliers, wall sconces, and leather wrapped armrests on the poker tables. The walls are adorned in leather and dark Mahogany veneers, framing 35 flat screen televisions on all sides. Outside of the Venetian’s Poker Room, three televisions are dedicated to displaying the waitlists for all available games, two from the front main entrance, and one from the side entrance on the south side. Ornate iron designs adorn the cashier cage and the main entrance foyer, which includes a rotunda like marble entryway, leading up the brush desk.
The Venetian’s Poker Room chairs are swivel/adjustable height and are on caster wheels for ease of movement. Leather seats are coupled with upholstered backs on all Venetian Poker Room chairs. Side tables are plentiful and are necessary due to the availability of foodservice, and a dedicated foodservice wait staff on hand 24 hours a day.
A popular offering of the Venetian Poker Room is its quarterly signature Deepstack Tournament Series, which fills the room to capacity, including over 60 additional “temporary” tournament tables, all of which have automatic shufflers, allowing events that eclipse 700 players.
