SHODOWN recently had the privilege of being in Las Vegas to sign our newest Pro-Team member Joe Cada. This was our 4th trip and we have seen everything Sin City has to offer. Except the recently opened city centre. THIS IS A MUST SEE!! This was the first unreal architectural experience our team ever had! It is tough sometimes to appreciate what is around you when all you are focusing on is cards and crushing your opponents. The city centre is like nothing else we have seen. It was an 8.4 billion dollar development and the outcome shows how amazing it really is. When you are surrounded by the waterfall and looking up, you are engulfed by skyline and do not see a horizon anywhere. The buildings look as though they are falling down on top and away from you, and the cleanliness of the architecture is amazing.
In the centre their is the highest end and most expensive fashion stores in the world. We stopped by TOM FORD shop which is only 1 of 5 locations world wide. Needless to say this is a must see when you go on your trip to Vegas.
Now lets get to the poker room at Aria which is one of the hotels within the centre. It is one of our favorite rooms. The chairs are the most comfortable chairs our team as ever sat in. They have great back support and are fully adjustable. Sounds like a funny thing to comment about, but chair comfort is as important as comfortable clothes at the tables. You need to have zero distractions to play your best. The servers are quick and efficient, you even get a Starbucks like coffee cup when you order a coffee. Vodka Redbull's come in a big sturdy glass and the dealers know what they are doing. The action was also good, we played the 1-3 NL tables because the average person that stays at Aria has some wealth. They don't care about the buy in. This makes for some good fish! The action was great and you could control pot-size quite easily. For more information about Aria and the City Centre, go here.
We were impressed by the poker room and City Centre but make sure you get out and see all that Las Vegas has to offer. There are many great poker rooms and things to see.
