Today starts a new poker promotion at Red Rock Station.
From 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. daily, the high hand of that period in the poker room receives $1,000.
The hand must be at least Aces Full and you must play both cards.
If you share the same hand, you’ll split the prize.
The flier takes care to mention that this prize does not come from the jackpot drop, it’s funded entirely by Red Rock.
A nice extra, eh?

The Sign at (what was) the Fitzgerald Poker Room
In what we hope does not start a trend, the poker room at Fitzgeralds downtown has quietly closed.
Other poker rooms, such as Silverton, have limited their hours.
Fitz had a tough time since launching their poker room upstairs a few years ago. Only attracting 1 or 2 tables worth of players, they tried tournaments, sit-n-gos, freerolls, high hand jackpots, but in the end it didn't justify the cost and was shuttered.

Want to meet the man who came to Las Vegas with $6,000 and ended up winning over $1 million within 6 months -- all in video poker?
Not only can you meet him, but poker guru Bob Dancer will be teaching classes on all the games he plays (to the tune of 800,000 hands per year). And during each, maybe he'll even discuss everything else that factors into successful video poker playing -- like casino comps, points, promotions, and other freebies.
And ironically enough, it's being taught for free... at a casino.

As we previewed before, it's now a go!
The poker room at Treasure Island (TI) is now paying people to play poker.
From Saturday at midnight to the following Saturday at midnight, put in your hours and you'll earn money. And pretty significant money at that.
Play 10 hours, get $50. 20 hours, $125. 30 hours, $200. 40 hours, $300. 50 hours, $500. And 60 hours, $599 (to avoid IRS forms at the $600 giveaway mark).

Recently remodeled Tropicana Las Vegas
The new Tropicana poker room is all snazzy and comfortable (plus right next to the bar, so fast drink service), but whenever we've been by, there's only been one table running.
Trop is now trying to switch things up with special promotions, including a novel splash pot in a cash game that acts like a tournament.
Play any cash game for 15 hours between Nov. 21-27 (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) and you'll qualify.
