The Bacchanalian Bombshelter
The noun bacchanalia has one meaning:
Meaning #1: a wild gathering involving excessive drinking and promiscuity
Synonyms: orgy, debauch, debauchery, saturnalia, riot, bacchanal, drunken revelry
Bacchanalia (băkənā'lēə) , in Roman religion, festival in honor of Bacchus, god of wine. Originally a religious ceremony, like the Liberalia, it gradually became an occasion for drunken, licentious excesses and was finally forbidden by law (186 B.C.).
Bacchanalia
In Greco-Roman religion, any of the festivals of the wine god Bacchus (Dionysus), which probably originated as fertility rites. The most famous Greek festivals included the Greater Dionysia, with its dramatic performances; the Anthesteria; and the Lesser Dionysia, characterized by simple rites. Bacchanalia were introduced from lower Italy into Rome, where they were at first secret, open only to women, and held three times a year. They later admitted men and became as frequent as five times a month. In 186 BC their reputation as orgies led the Senate to prohibit them throughout Italy, except in special cases.

my real submission is the The Dank Den of Poker or perhaps the Dreary Den of Poker.. no that's too depressing. I suppose that I have a thing for alliterations.. but how about the Dark Den of Poker... well all three sound good to me, take your pick.

"There are few things that are so unpardonably neglected in our country as poker... Why, I have known clergymen, good men, kindhearted, liberal, sincere, and all that, who did not know the meaning of a 'flush'. It is enough to make one ashamed of one's species." ~ Mark Twain
Would recieve my vote - as my first online account with Poker Now was under the handle Dionysus.
A few point of interest:
Originally Bacchanalia , which you have defined above, were for woman only. Hot.
Second, Nietzsche saw Bacchus and Apollo as being the two extremes - Bacchus using intoxicated and promiscuity and Apollo using reason. I think on any given night at a poker table we see Dionysus and Apollo at battle - the question is whom will prevail?
