Something extra I saw from Doc Al's link in another thread.
Las Vegas Review-Journal (http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2004/Dec-12-Sun-2004/business/25430202.html) Casino operators say they're frothing for added poker players. It's not because poker generates profits directly, but because heightened interest in the game is luring hipper customers. Poker tables themselves generate only about $65 an hour in daily revenue, but with their sights set on a younger generation hooked by television coverage, Caesars Palace and MGM Grand are both set to reopen their poker rooms in March after long absences -- 12 years at Caesars. Bellagio and Bally's are also talking about poker-room expansions.
