Caesars Palace Poker Room
One of the Very Best!
On December 20th, 2005, Caesars opened Las Vegas' largest poker room. Caesars new poker room spreads 63 tables – 33 specifically designated for tournaments and 30 for live action.
"For many years, Caesars was one of the biggest names in poker," said Michael Matts – Caesars Palace Poker Room Manager. "Starting on December 20th, a new poker era began when we brought poker back to one of Las Vegas' most legendary and luxurious casinos. Whether it's recreational games, mid-limit poker, big-bet poker, or our ongoing tournaments, Caesars sets a new standard in excellence."
Caesars already hosted big-time poker action prior to their official grand opening in December (November, 2005) with the Tournament of Champions, won last year by Annie Duke. Final table members this year included Mike "the mouth" Matusow, Phil Hellmuth, and 2005 World Series of Poker runner-up Steve Dannenmann. Also, on New Year's Eve 2005/2006, a celebrity/big-name tourney with a $2,000 buy-in with $200 + $35 single table satellites was held. Nicky Hilton was the hostess and she also hosted the big party afterwards at Pure, the nightclub at Caesars which is next door to the poker room. Many of poker's superstars played in the New Years Eve event including Scotty Nguyen, Evelyn Ng and Layne Flack, along with celebrity/poker star Jennifer Tilly. Expect many more special events at the new Caesars poker room.
Another outstanding tournament choice at Caesars is single table Sit'N'Go tourneys, starting at $60 and paying 3 places.
