I do this. All the time. Soooo... maybe the answer is women? (I hate beer.)

(Although in Vegas, it's strictly hard liquor, as the wine they have is inevitably icky.)

Yeah. It's a little too much of what I call "80s Cocaine Contemporary". It my be modern, but it's still pretty ornate. I like more minimalism. I'd take that over the carved wood, but still not quite my cup of tea.

I finally decided on the table. I'm working on getting the custom felt approved (need to get a Trademark issue okayed, but don't see an issue). I went with the tan micro fiber raised rail, custom felt, no race track, no cup holders and 2 claw cherry pedastals. Since the table will serve as a dining room table as well, I had to make that concession to please the wife. It will also have a matching, two piece cherry table top. I had to bring the size down to 92" from 96'", but feel I can still fit 9 to 10 players at it.

I will post photos when it's done. Thanks for the feedback. It definately helped!

The best table I've ever played on is at Mandalay Bay (race track, rail drink holders). My ideal for a home game would be:

Round (57-60"). Dealing from the ends of an oval are just not on. It's what I have now but I wish I didn't.
Padded Rail w/ Drink Holders
Race Track
No dealer station
No Printing on the cloth.
Ball & Claw or Plain legs, doesn't matter.

I made these back in 2004 from Keen's website. But they got updated last year with a custom cloth.

The cash set/fake money of course

Tourney Set

They used to be on sale on EBay (at least that is how I got mine), but they were removed by EBay becuase they may be construed as "counterfit".

My same preferences exactly, my current table I built has a racetrack and speedcloth, been trying to sell it for months now so I can build a newer table. I prefer the iron pedestals, they don't take up as much foot room as the wood pedestals and I think they still look pretty nice.
