Las Vegas is known for some unique and sometimes over-the-top shows.  The Venetian is capitalizing on the poker craze and will be launching a new show in the Fall called “The Real Deal.”

From the official Real Deal website:
“…an amazing opportunity for audience members to interact with a big name comedy host while actually playing against and alongside the world’s best professional poker players. With TimePlay Entertainment’s revolutionary, wireless, multi-player platform, interactive content and ultra-mobile touch-screen devices mounted to the seats of The Venetian Showroom, players will compete for points to win a huge range of prizes, including a chance to win a cool $1 million!”

Some of the players already lined up to participate in this unique show include Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson, Daniel Negreanu (PokerMom’s favorite player), Phil Hellmuth Jr., Eli Elezra, Antonio Esfandiari, Jennifer Harman, Phil Laak, Scotty Nguyen, Gavin Smith and Todd Brunson.

Now this is my kind of Vegas show.  I have seen several of Guy Laliberte’s Cirque du Soleil productions as well as La Reve at the Wynn but a live poker show – right up my alley.  Of course I don’t have a trip to Vegas planned in the Fall, maybe I’ve just found my reason to plan one.
