Well, I think space will have something to do with it as the space can easily hold a much more profitable baccarat table. Pai Gow seems to be one of those games slowly fading away. But in a place like the Venetian, they can easily afford the space to cater to a select crowd - the real question is, are there enough players to justify doing so?

In Vegas, one is unlikely to find pai gow in any of the casinos, with the possible exception of the Imperial Palace, and only for novelty value. In Atlantic City there may be a slightly better chance of finding this game due to the different demographics (more Asian and generally more mature, as opposed to Vegas which is a bit more glitzy and trendy for the younger crowd).
