PokerNews sat down with Venetian Poker Director Tommy LaRosa to learn more about the new studio. LaRosa talked about getting into the streaming space, reception of the new poker room and plans to allow various podcasters and content creators to use the studio.
“I wanted to create an energy in this room," LaRosa said. "Las Vegas is known for that energy, like the big sporting weekends when the Super Bowl is in town or March Madness or those big fight weekends. I wanted to create that same kind of atmosphere here in the poker room.”
“We’re very excited about the opportunities and possibilities for this room and we’re really looking forward to unveiling it.”
LaRosa also talked about getting veteran poker content creator Joey Ingram involved with the studio.
"I'm very happy and excited to support the Venetian," Ingram told PokerNews. "They are investing in poker at a time when other people aren't, and I'm excited to see what they do."
