One of the most popular casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, the Venetian, today announced plans to introduce a live, interactive, poker themed stage show entitled “The Real Deal!”.The show will blend humour, the latest wireless technology, and of course, an abundance of prizes- and enable audience members to play alongside or against professional poker players, with the chance to win a $1 million grand prize. Aside from the grand prize of one million dollars, prizes range from logoed merchandise to home electronics and more.

The professional players will be participating in shows each month, taking on Vegas tourists with any level of skill in the game. Merv Anderson, the brains behind the new show, has high hopes for “The Real Deal!”, saying that “never before has poker been so integrated with entertainment”.

The show will differ from televised professional poker action because the viewer will also become a participant. Not only can audience members enjoy a fast-paced, exciting game of poker, the tourists who become players also have the opportunity to learn tips and tricks from the professional they play alongside – creating a “one-of-a-kind poker experience” in the words of Doyle Brunson, the leading poker professional of the new show. In addition to this, every member of the audience can participate in the show using wireless touch screens, bringing a whole new level of interaction to professional poker.

Along with the all-star lineup including poker pros such as Antonio Esfandiari, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Laak and Phil Hellmuth, Jr., the search is currently on to find a comedian to present “The Real Deal!”, integrating star quality with the light-hearted humour set to characterise the show. Through including these big-name stars, it is hoped that the new show at the Venetian will become a hot ticket in months to come.
