I have been hearing that brick and mortar Las Vegas Casinos have been wanting to enter the online gambling and poker market. I don't know if this is the first one, but just received an email from South Point Casino in Vegas about their new online poker room. Here's the link to their poker web site

http://www.southpointpoker.com/

I just got the email and haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but thought I would pass it along. From what I see so far, it looks like a point based system. From what I can tell, points are used for entry fees and payouts are points, cash prizes, merchandise (laptops, ipads, etc), entries to larger online tourneys and entries to live tourneys in Vegas.

It doesn't look like real big money yet, but just starting and we should start seeing other casinos online poker rooms opening sooner than later. Anybody know if any others are open yet?

Update:

Checked it out for a while, seems to have quite a few tourneys, but way too much advertising. You have to sit through video ads before tourney or SNG starts. Tons of banner and video ads and winnings over $600 are taxed. Played a few SNG's and one points tourney, play was pretty soft. Not crazy about all the spam, but it will be interesting to see how other Vegas casinos handle their online poker and see where it progresses.
