Our Setting Today

The Star City Casino is the venue for this week's tournament, and quite a venue it is. Everything in the interior of the casino is sleek, dark and modern. Dark purple carpeting with light purple speckles covers the floor; a dark, latticed ceiling is suspended about twenty feet over the casino floor by gleaming chrome pillars. Dark velvet ropes have been set up around the poker area of the main casino floor, where the tournament is taking place. Spectators are lined up along one section of the ropes right near a craps pit, eying the action on either side of themselves.

All of this is not to say that the tournament area suffers from lighting. Everything is extremely well-lit, with APPT and PokerStars.net branding advantageously positioned all around the tournament floor.
