The Resorts World poker room is no more. The Las Vegas resort officially closed its card room after years of operation on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip. The decision ended a brief era for a space that was once considered a flagship addition to the Las Vegas poker scene when the multi-billion-dollar resort first opened its doors in 2021. Representatives for the property confirmed that the final hands were dealt earlier this year as the resort shifted its focus toward other gaming and entertainment priorities. While the Resorts World poker room initially garnered praise for its modern…

Planet Hollywood is scheduled to close its poker room on January 31, 2026. This decision marks the second time the casino has shuttered its poker operations in recent years. The current iteration of the Planet Hollywood Poker Room lasted less than nine months after a highly publicized return to the Las Vegas Strip in May 2025. The closure follows a difficult period for the venue, which struggled to maintain a consistent player base despite significant investment. When the Planet Hollywood Poker Room reopened last year, it was moved from its traditional spot on the main gaming floor to a new…

The Caesars Palace poker room has moved back to its original location on the casino floor after a brief absence, reopening with a refreshed setup and fewer tables.

As of November 2025, the Caesars Palace poker room is once again located adjacent to the sportsbook. The renovated layout includes 16 tables, two fewer than before the closure. The design prioritizes more space and comfort, with…

Poker players rejoice as plans for a brand new Venetian poker room have been revealed! This coming after the seeming consolidation of poker to the Horseshoe for Caesars properties, as they move their beloved World Series of Poker events to the redesigned venue. Now, the updated Venetian poker room will rise to the challenge, with some fifty tables spread across a 14,000 square foot layout. That would make it the largest poker room in Vegas, and throw down the gauntlet to all who would challenge them (hear that MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment?). The new room is going to open…

Nevada poker revenue held steady in March, despite a meaningful decline in the total number of poker rooms and tables compared to 2016, according to Nevada gaming regulators. While poker rooms in Nevada may be shrinking in number and size, they also appear to be becoming more efficient. In March 2016, the Nevada Gaming Control Board reported 71 total poker rooms and 655 poker tables in the state. This year, the number of poker rooms dipped to 66 (a seven-percent decline) with total tables falling even further, down to 596 (a nine percent drop). Over a long timeframe, the decline…
