Aria's New Poker Room

I would like to say Happy New Year to all of you and may this year bring prosperity and peace of us. I made a quick trip to Las Vegas to celebrate the New Year at Aria, which is the newest of the MGM-Mirage properties and is at City Center. They have a great poker room, which is being run by Adam Altwies who came over from the Bellagio. I have known Adam for years and am sure he will do a great job.

The room itself is really nice with a spacious layout and comfortable chairs. I played a little low stakes no limit holdem and had Karina Jett sitting on my right. I have always liked Karina and her husband Chip, in fact I remember playing my first 10k buy in at the Commerce and playing against Chip. I was completely intimidated by him. We did however become friends, so I always think of them very warmly. Karina did win a pretty good sized pot from me when I made a flush and she made the nut flush. I think the poker room at Aria may become “the room” to play in Las Vegas.
