First off this whole joint is a wreck. Dirty, smoke filled, dump smack dab in the middle of the action. Poker area is not a "room" but more of an enclosure. High glass on top of the walls make it intimate enough that you're not too distracted by all the other goings on in the casino. 1 or two plasma tv's up on the wall for you to keep track of sports. Newer felt on the tables. Average chairs. "Spin the wheel" promo for cracked aces and high hands. Double payouts on the wheel between 2am - 2pm. Starbucks (closes early) 50 feet away.
The ONLY reason to play here is the competition (or lack of i should say) 2 tables of $2/$4 hold em and two tables of $1/$2 were being spread. Rest of the tables seemed to only be used for tournaments. Competition....what competition? Have these people even played poker before? 80%+ of the people at the $1/$2 NLHE played like it was their first time ever sitting at a poker table. The rest must have been AVP or locals in Watched several people sit down with $100 and bust out on the first hand when they flopped top pair and went big. Balance that out with a all the drunk "pros" ("i just got back from Costa Rica where you had to have $100k to buy in - s Wish i had played here more. Tight aggression goes a long way in this room. I can't even imagine the mess the $2/$4 games must have been.
Garbage dealers. Mistakes galore in moving the button, reading the board, and 1/2 of them don't have arms long enough to pull chips into the pot or grab your mucked cards.
Average cocktail waitress age has to be 50. They come by once every 30 mins or so. Stick to beer as the liquor brands are suspect. Coffee and tea come in 6 oz glasses with 4 oz of liquid in them. WTF?
Check in podium in the center of the room. I played on a Friday night around 11:30pm - 2:30am and Saturday from 1pm - 4pm. Bunch of clueless kids in those horrible "strip poker" t-shirts running the place. Sign in's are tracked on a piece of paper. The mic level they announce on is so low that if you're not standing next to them when they call your name you will miss your seat. Having to show ID everytime i bought chips was lame (i'm in my late 30s and while i may not look my age i know i don't look like i'm 19 or 20). Just glad nobody had to call the floor for a ruling. Probably wouldn't have gone too well at all.
No idea if they even offer comps.
