[b]Palms Poker[/b]

I was a regular player at the Palms for a long time using the venue as a friendly place to play social 2-5 or 5-10 NLH with the likes of Keith Quilty, Joe Awada, Alfonse, Jerry etc and some of the local grinders.
 
I have played poker in EVERY major Vegas room and found the PALMS staff to be the MOST professional, welcoming and likeable group in town. Sharon in particular and most of the dealers were also helpful, charming and professional.
 
I played around 250 hours in Jan-Feb 2007 before having to return overseas so I did not end up playing the freeroll, however, one can only blame SENIOR management at the casino for not doing the most simple form of basic due diligence on RIVER KING as a group. I did in fact hear of other fisacos in 2004-05 with other promotion tournaments in other casinos so this Poker fiasco is clearly not a first.
 
Many local grinders only played there (Palms) to build hours for the freeroll as they considered it a "family place" (meaning not a good place for them to make a living as a grinder). I feel more sorry for them and the staff at the Palms as they all were the losers in this fiasco and hopefully the players will slowly return (assuming nice staff are on hand).
 
For the record I always found Mike Vento to be a charming, diligent guy who always did the right thing by me as did the other Mike who was also dismissed.
