Hard Rock poker room to shrink

Posted by clark | Posted in Hard Rock, Las Vegas Gaming, Las Vegas History, Las Vegas News, Las Vegas News Blog, Poker / WSOP / WPT, Pokerstars, Prof's Vegas Poker Blog, R.C. Clark | Posted on 28-07-2010

Hard Rock Las Vegas,

 

Less than 2 years ago, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino opened their new, swanky $10 million poker lounge with 18 tables, investing heavily into poker when many other casinos were downsizing after poker's popularity had peaked.

No word yet on what the space will be used for. We'd immediately guess slot machines, but it lends itself to a bar/restaurant.
