This leaves just eight poker rooms on the Las Vegas Strip, or 17 if you include the rest of the Las Vegas Valley. More than half (54.83870967741935% to be exact) of poker rooms in Las Vegas have closed since 2000. We blame F1.<\/p>\n Word of the closure was first shared by poker player Chris Murray<\/a>, who organizes a regular game at Resorts World.<\/p>\n Honestly, we didn’t know individuals could organize games at casinos, but we are not a poker person.<\/p>\n We reached out to Resorts World after Murray’s Tweet and the news was officially confirmed.<\/p>\n A Resorts World rep said, “We can confirm that the poker room will close on March 30. We look forward to introducing new offerings that reflect our continued commitment to dynamic, high-quality experiences.”<\/p>\n News of the Resorts World poker room closing doesn’t exactly come as a surprise, mainly because there’s an us. We got wind of the looming decision to fold the room back in November 2025. Should’ve taken the over, but our source was pretty close on the timing.<\/p>\n Resorts World has been debating whether to close its poker room or bring in a third party to operate it. We hear closure, over\/under is end of the year.<\/p>\n — Vital Vegas (@VitalVegas) November 11, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/resorts_world_poker_room_closed-845x563.jpg\")
