Where in the World Are We?
If Marrakech, Morocco isn't exotic enough for you, the final table location itself is rather unusual. We are in the Casino de Marrakech's emptied restaurant/bar. The dark wood-paneled walls. are draped with purple and maroon taffeta. Hanging from the ceiling over the final table are some of the unusual paintings that can be seen all over the bar. They are designed to look like traditional renaissance oil portraits at first glance. But look again, and you'll notice the figures sport risque anachronistic details like fishnet stockings, cheetah-print tops, and provocative tattoos.
A standard final table set has been constructed in the middle of all this over-the-top edginess. The bright lights, metal fixtures, and flat-screen tvs displaying the tournament clock seem out of place. But the final table itself fits right in with the decor. With black felt and red leather bumpers, it would make any bordello proud.
