You Don’t Need To Hit ‘The Strip’ To Enjoy a Game of Poker

By plrprousers | March 16, 2010

2009 will be a year that many casino operators on the Vegas strip will want to forget. However online poker competitors have enjoyed a great year with their rakeback deals. It was to be expected that the global financial downturn would have a knock on effect on Las Vegas but no one really expected the drop in visitors that resulted. Everything from Vegas’s lavish gambling reputation to the strict legislations in the USA have been blamed for the fall in takings. Now however there are a few hushed whispers that there may be a few signs of recovery showing up. No one wants to shout it too loudly just in case they jinx the long awaited recovery!

The CityCenter development has been hailed as the biggest gamble ever taken in Vegas and with a price tag of $8.5 billion dollars for construction, it will be a heavy loss if it doesn’t pay off. The option of scaling back the project was not on the cards and the opening of the resort area will begin on the 1st of December. The big night will be December the 16th when Aria opens. Aria is the showpiece of the resort with 4004 rooms and 16 restaurants and a huge list of decadent features that are just too many to list. There is an awful lot at stake and the CityCenter is hoping to pull in the crowds to give the ailing turnover of the strip a much needed boost?

Many people are pleased with this new venture and it is like a breath of fresh air being breathed through Vegas. They are hopeful that with the pull of the new resort, many customers will return to Vegas and give the economy a huge boost. Others with a less glowing outlook have said that the glut of rooms will simply force the rental rates down even further. It would seem that all eyes will be sharply focused on this new resort and everybody is hoping it will be a succes to turn around events of recent months!

If you don’t fancy a trip to Las Vegas at the present time, then why not try your luck at Betfair Poker, Everest Poker or even a game of Littlewoods Poker. You can enjoy playing at home so don’t even need a trip out. Of course, should you have a big win, then you will be able to treat yourself to a holiday to Vegas and see what all the fuss is about.
