Yes, and what a coincidence that when Stars declines a bad actor clause is slipped into Nevada's inter-stae poker bill.

Is PokerStars releasing this info because they want Ceasars and the AGA to look bad?

Also, The Rio is not on the strip? Never knew that.

I take it you've never been to Vegas. It's west of the strip on Flamingo just across the I15 beside the Gold Coast which is basically across the street from the Palms. It's walkable from the strip on a very busy road.

That's complete bullshit from Stars. There is a 0.0% chance that Nevada Gaming would give an operators license to anyone associated with PokerStars and everyone involved knows that.

Take the 1100 from pstars and fly to Vegas. You deserve it!

[lewfather]

I definitely would not walk from the strip to rio, especially in the extreme heat. Also they have free shuttles if you're to jewish to get a cab/rent a car.

Meh, I might go down for the WSOP this year to grind SNGs. Still undediced. But Vegas doesn't appeal to me. I'd rather play local.

I don't think Stars made it up. I believe it was proposed and Stars didn't go for it for the reason you just stated.

In fact, an anonymous source just gave me this screen shot of the online correspondence between the two companies:

Does stars have the resources to make such an acquisition? I seriously doubt it.

Why doesn't Steve Wynn buy them though? That's what I'd like to see, I like Wynn. He'd be good for poker imo.

Seems like it'd be pretty expensive, even for them. And Wynn would be good for poker, but he hates professional poker players.
