It was one of the biggest surprises for a poker room closure in memory. Like Flamingo and Silver Sevens, Planet Hollywood reopened its 10-table poker room after the pandemic, only to close it later. About half the table games it had before the pandemic are gone. In August 2021, Silver Sevens stopped dealing poker. It brought one table back when table games reopened after the pandemic closure. It had one or two poker tables for years before the pandemic. Silver Sevens is just east of the Las Vegas Strip at Flamingo and Paradise. The area is now occupied by video poker machines.

However, in November 2021, the company announced that Flamingo’s poker room would remain closed permanently. Caesars Entertainment said at the time that the move was temporary to help it staff the delayed World Series of Poker. The 11-table Flamingo poker room closed in September 2021. Flamingo was the last Las Vegas poker room closure This article goes over each of those rooms. A total of 39 rooms disappeared since then.
