Golden Nugget To Host Televised Poker Events

Television's hottest game returns to the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for two made-for-television poker games featuring some of the biggest names in poker.

The two televised events -- High Stakes Poker, produced for GSN, and Poker Superstars III, produced for Fox Sports Net (FSN) -- mark the return of televised gaming to the legendary downtown resort. Earlier this year, the Golden Nugget was home to the World Series Of Blackjack, which aired on GSN, Speed Channel's Mobil High Endurance Charity Poker Challenge and NBC's National Heads-Up Poker Championship, which garnered solid ratings.

'The Golden Nugget is the birthplace of poker in Las Vegas,' said Dan Shumny, vice president of marketing for the Golden Nugget. 'We are pleased to host these popular televised poker games, and to be a part of the poker phenomenon.'
