In case any of you test your luck on the Vegas Strip, you’ll be interested to know that MGM Resort is undergoing a $450 million dollar renovation that will unfortunately include shutting down their 8 table poker room. Statistics show that over the past decade, poker has significantly decreased in Las Vegas.

There was a huge poker phase in 2003 when Chris MoneyMaker gained widespread popularity but since the US government implemented a new law that stopped financial instutitions to approve transactions for online poker as well as casinos, as you can imagine, numbers began to decline.

We want to know what you think, will poker increase again? Will Las Vegas continue to rip away poker tables?
