Caesars Palace in Las Vegas is making some changes to its poker room. The room is set to close for renovations that are expected to last for two or three months. The renovation will focus on the high-limit slot area of the property, rather than the poker room itself.
The poker room, which currently has 18 tables, will close around July 17 and will not reopen until the renovations are complete. During this time, the poker room will be used as a temporary high-limit slot area. The closure date coincides with the final table at the World Series of Poker, which is being held at other Caesars Entertainment properties.
Caesars Entertainment is looking for a temporary location to open a poker room during the renovation, but as of now, no location has been confirmed. The current poker room at Caesars Palace opened a decade ago and has been a popular spot for poker players.
While the closure of the poker room may inconvenience some players, it is necessary for the property to make improvements to the high-limit slot area. Casinos rely more heavily on revenue from high-limit slots than they do on poker, so this move makes sense from a business perspective.
In the meantime, poker players will have to find alternative locations to play while the Caesars Palace poker room is closed. The property is working to minimize the impact on players and is hoping to have a temporary location secured soon.
Overall, the renovations at Caesars Palace are part of the property’s efforts to improve the overall guest experience. While the poker room may be temporarily closed, the changes being made will benefit both the property and its guests in the long run.
