LAS VEGAS, NV:  On Monday October 7th, Paris Las Vegas permanently closed down their poker room.  The announcement of the Paris poker room closure comes as no big surprise to those who have watched its slow death since 2005.  Bally’s, Paris’ sister property whose casinos are physically connected still has its poker room.

There is a rumor, unconfirmed by any staff at Paris, that the room may be closed completely after the World Series of Poker this summer. Paris is operated by Harrah’s Entertainment Group, the owners of the WSOP.
