Got info (Love this blog!)

The Wynn Resort will be coming online in about twelve weeks and the new poker room promises to be the most luxurious in the Kingdom of Poker and the first with a resident pro. Professional poker player and player of the year, Daniel Negreanu, has inked a deal with Steve Wynn to limit his cash game play to the Wynn property. This exclusive deal is for cash games only and will not affect his tournament play. The rumored value of Daniel's deal is three hundred thousand a year. Not exactly the multimillion dollar salaries other professional sports figures command; but certainly a giant step in the right direction. Finally, the professional players are being recognized as sports celebrities and being courted accordingly. I'm not surprised that Steve Wynn would be the first pro poker deal maker; after all, he is always the first to point Vegas towards the future. Congratulations Daniel!
