Orleans, South Point poker rooms go 8-handed

The Orleans and South Point have become the latest poker rooms in the Las Vegas area to expand to eight-handed play.

The rooms recently announced that they installed plexiglass dividers that allow for eight-handed play. The Orleans was previously six-handed with plexiglass, and the South Point hosted five-handed games without plexiglass.

The Venetian and three Station Casinos poker rooms — Boulder Station, Red Rock Resort and Santa Fe Station — also host eight-handed games.

The Sahara Las Vegas poker room is seven-handed with plexiglass; Aria, Bellagio and the MGM Grand are six-handed with plexiglass; and Caesars Palace, the Flamingo and the Golden Nugget are five-handed without plexiglass.
