CQ Nexus News 8/25

Aug 11, 2025
Connect

August 8th 2025

 

First some real news;

Poker Palace Is Closing as of Oct 1. Located much farther down Las Vegas Blvd, where most tourists have never ventured..... Poker Palace will disappear without much of a whimper. It has long been in decline and way overdue for a demo, if only to get out the odd smell that was always the biggest player there. 

Of course, one news outlet jumped on the Vegas clickbait train to dramatize the narrative, and David replied with his own Instagram Post. 

Golden Gate is going to "dealer assisted" pit. A hybrid between real table games and ETG's. 

Check out Vegas Vitalys story here. There is also a picture of the new "pit" that will likely be installed.

We also took a stab at this in our Community section on the CQNexus.com.  

This was a very sad announcement for me, as I "broke in" there on a 25-cent craps table some 34 years ago with Sal Bruno (our pit boss).

A lot more lower limit tables announced in Vegas. 

  • Palms $5 and $10 tables. 
  • Luxor days $10 tables
  • Palace Station $10 tables. 
  • Southpoint $10 and a rare $5?
  • Ellis $5 and $10 for most shifts.
  • Silver Sevens $3 table?
  • Jerrys Nugget $3 table?

If I added a question mark just make sure to call or verify before you go. There are now LOTS of $10 tables, especially mid week and day or graveyard shifts. 

CRAZY FACT of the Week

You won't believe it. I can't even believe I am about to post this. But Fountainebleu has the best KENO in Vegas. Yes, it's true, before you break out your bib for the $95 baked potato, stop at the Game Kings, select your favorite KENO game, and press that Pay Table. For all denominations from 5c to Dollars, they are the most competitive KENO paybacks I have ever seen. Even Crazier, I played $20 and won $300. Dennis is my witness!!

Why were we there, you ask? We were filming a new episode about "Where all the gamblers were". Quick answer: We did not find many at Fontainebleau. Maybe this KENO news will do the trick!

Thanksgiving Thanks and Gifts!
Happy Thanksgiving! and a gift from AI. I gave up trying to get this picture right.  It took at least 10 tries to recognize Jet as a man, another 4 tries to get Alex to be something other than a K Pop star. It rolled Nick back to high school, and apparently, I am now Neil Patrick Harris? For some reason, AI loves Dennis. Here is one of our earlier tries. Can you pick out David or Jet?   Nove...
