The Silverton is the latest casino to close its poker room:
While it wasn't as icky a room as the one at Fitzgerald's, I can't say I'll miss the place much. I played there only four times in my five years in Vegas, and it was always a nitty locals joint. Just not much reason to head out there, other than the cool fish tank (which I've heard has also gone away).

I can't remember the cirumstances, but I think I played there once. I remember it being very cramped. No loss at all, but as always, I feel badly for the folks there who are now out of a job.
I'll cross this off of my "rooms to play in 2012" list.
Never played there and now I guess I never will. I'll pretend that I did and that I won a $27 in 45 minutes and that will make me smile.

You were probably at the old poker room, which was indeed small and cramped. They moved it to a new area when they expanded the building, and actually made it quite nice, with ample room between tables.

But they never attracted many players.
That's too bad, but not unexpected. I stop by the Silverton almost every trip and it was empty and/or closed every time I walked by. Once one of the dealers tried to get me to hang around for a game but I wasn't going to wait since I was the only player! RIP
