After months of no poker action due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Las Vegas is gearing up to reopen this weekend. But if you’re a poker player looking for action on Las Vegas Boulevard, your choices are extremely limited.
The only casino on the Strip slated to open this weekend is Venetian. But they’re not the only game in town.

Westgate (also located near the Strip) is scheduled to open June 18th.
Strip Casinos that are closed include Aria, Bally’s, Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Excalibur, Flamingo, Harrah’s, Mandalay, Bay, MGM Grand, Mirage, Planet Hollywood, Sahara, and Wynn.
