‘Vegas Stripped’ Out At South Point?

It looks like the behind the scenes reality television show ‘Vegas Stripped’ may not return to the “South Point” for a second season. This show was similar to other shows before filmed at “Caesars Palace” or “Green Valley Ranch” as it showed employees in their day to day jobs at the properties. The problem with all these types of shows is sometimes they don’t show the resort staff in the best light which may be why “South Point” is having second thoughts but it will be interesting to see if the free publicity of this show is worth the trouble of a second season at South Point. The first season of this show only consisted of six half hour episodes which aired on the Travel Channel this spring and is produced by the same producers of the huge History Channel hit ‘Pawn Stars’ which is filmed near downtown Las Vegas. If Michael Gaughan and the team at “South Point” decide to pass on a second season at the property I’m sure it will pop up again at a different resort in town as the exposure is good especially for a lesser known Las Vegas property.

“Silverton” Poker Room Closes

We recently reported that the “Fitzgerald’s” poker room was closing and now news that the “Silverton’s” poker room has now also closed. If you are not familiar with the “Silverton” it’s about three miles from the strip and, is mostly known for a big fishing store as well as an aquarium at the property. In the last few years poker rode a wave of popularity because of the numerous television shows featuring games but after a government clamp down on the US poker sites it seems the growth has slowed. Every property in Las Vegas added poker rooms and with the economy and a slowdown in poker play it’s not surprising some of the less busy rooms are closing. Some of the business for these rooms may also be going to newer or bigger properties such the “M Resort” or “South Point” which also aren’t that far away from the “Silverton.” We wouldn’t be surprised if smaller poker rooms closed in this climate, but overall poker seems to still be pretty popular.
