The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, Las Vegas is, apparently, the world largest 5 diamond resort. (Film buffs may recall Pacino’s character in Ocean’s 13 claims that all of his hotels have won the award). Appropriate, then, that it is offering a sparkling ‘Deep Stack Extravaganza’ until February 24 to attract customers not swayed by the hotel’s ‘authentic gondola rides’. (UK children of the 70s, please note - Cornettos not included)
For those who are just interested in seeing diamonds on the flop, the resort’s ‘Tuscan style’ rooms are currently attracting poker players by offering tournaments with a wide range of buy-ins.
Although today’s event is a $540 Omaha 8 tournament, the extravaganza is heavily reliant on No Limit Hold ‘em, climaxing with a game demanding a $2,060 buy-in.
All of the tournaments are ‘deep stack’: they offer more starting chips and longer blind structures. In theory, this gives players with skill and experience a better chance of winning (although tables can be stuck with the same players for so long that when one finally lucks out it can feel like a death in the family) so it might just be worth taking a punt in Venice, Las Vegas style.
