"The Riv used to be the best place in town to pick up some quick money from the "Hot Shots" during the pool tourneys. Action like I had never seen before."

I have played in a lot of pool tournaments there over the years & we also ran a couple in the "Top of the Riv" where we had the banquet last year. I would always get a room for anywhere from a week to 10 days. Not only so I would be able to go right down to the pool action, but also the poker action!

The poker room would be full 24 hours a day for as long as the pool tournaments were going on which was up to two weeks. Since there were three major tournaments (BCA, APA & VNEA) over the course of three months that was six solid weeks of GREAT poker action.

Then they decided to replace the poker room with the high limit slot area. The last time I asked if they had any plans to re-open the room, the answer was no. That was about three weeks ago. Andy - Las Vegas
