The Venetian could become the first Las Vegas Strip casino to reopen its poker room since the state’s casinos were closed in mid-March, recently announcing plans to resume poker action June 5.
Venetian’s poker room will have some glaring differences when it opens, aside from the four-max tables mandated by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
The room will no longer be a 24-hour operation and will only be open from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. and rake will be reduced. Players will not be required to wear masks, but they will be available for guests to use if they want.
Masks that cover the entirety of a person’s face, however, is not allowed. Plexiglass dividers similar to the ones a few rooms in Florida are using will not be installed. There will be extra sanitation measures in place as well. The rails, chairs and chips will be cleaned every two hours.
However, Wynn Resorts already announced that it will reopen its Las Vegas properties without its poker room, while Caesars and MGM have not made announcements yet. MGM will only open Bellagio and New York-New York at first, while Caesars adopted the same strategy by only opening Flamingo and Caesars Palace.
New York-New York does not have a poker room, and neither does the Phil Ruffin-owned Treasure Island and Circus Circus properties.
