It's 5% with a maximum of $4, as they take the rake in $1 increments--at $10, $30, $50, and $80. And you don't have to pay a dollar for any stupid jackpot. So given that all Harrah's properties charge a $5 rake, 10%, with a $1 jackpot drop, the Venetian is by far the best place to play on the Strip.

Comps, one earns $1.50 per hour at the Venetian?

Wow. That's not bad at all.

Is it the same for $1/$2?

I believe so. And comps were earned at $1/hr last time I asked, but they fiddle with the comp rates quite a bit. I like to use my comps at the Grand Lux Cafe, which is the best casino coffee shop in town IMHO.

No jackpot = goooood. Up here in Washington one of the Tribal casinos now rakes $2 for jackpots (put does pay $100 every half hour to high hand so it's not all bad)

Everyone likes the Fiji water at Venetian for some reason too. I still don't get that.

Fiji is decent bottled water, one of the best.

It's SQUARE water. That's why it comes in that special bottle. All other bottled water is round.

As a pro poker player living in vegas, I respectfully agree and disagree with this statement and just wanted to add some color as well.

Agree - Venetian in general is a great room. Great that they have no jackpot drop.

Disagree - Although harrah's properties charge $1 more for rake the play is FAR softer in these rooms (some better than others) and it is worth the additional $1 rake. Second, the rake % at Venetian is 10%, not 5%.

For reviews of poker rooms I find allvegaspoker.com to be pretty accurate and an overall great resource =)
GL at the tables!

I don't think you can beat the water called "Smart Water". I had one of those at work the other day. As I was leaving the office I had some left and poured the rest in the plants on my way out. When I got in the next day the plants had completed the weekly shift schedules and had started on payroll ! :)

Nah--they had just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express the night before. :P
