I missed my table by 20 minutes (had taken a walk and played a slot machine when there was no movement on the table for 2 hours and several names ahead of me) and politely asked the manager to put me back at the front of the list - this was the only day I had to play the tables. Was told I was being \"taught a lesson\" about Vegas poker and was now 9th on the list.   Thanks dad. \n\nI understand not wanting people to show up hours after their names were called and that the tables will be full no matter what, but there is no waiting area and there should be a little more discretion about accommodating the players.   This seemed to be a huge lapse of judgment by someone on a power trip.  Other than that, I played PLO, and at various times of the day there were a lot of locals who knew each other at the table and relatively tight action... recall better action at the Venetian in the past for Omaha.... I had fun and won but easily could not have...
