I liked this room a lot. Mainly because it is a totally separate room from the rest of the casino. Not cigarrette smoke from railbirds and no noise from slot machines or bolsterous Blackjack players. The tables were clean with the WSOP logo on green felt and auto shufflers. Leather bumpers and cup holders were also on the tables and no committmant line for betting. Chairs were your standard padded conference room chairs. The walls were decorated with art-deco paintings of Doyle, Johnny Chan, Hellmuth and Stu Ungar. They also had free copies of Poker Pro and Cardplayer Magazines for anyone who wanted one.
It was the usual mix of players. Some rocks, some loose players and only 1 fish. This was a tight but aggressive table. Good poker was played by all. Good preflop raises chased out limpers and agressive betting after the flop and turn usually took down the pot. If the post-flop bet wasn't big enough, some players would stay in for their draws. You could tell the guys knew what they were doing. I bluffed more than usual and didn't get caught once. We also had 3 all-in preflop raises which were called. The guys definately were not afraid to gamble. It was a good game.
I love fun dealers! These guys were fast, friendly and knowledgeable. I was on the button after the flop and 7 limpers all checked around to me when I said "Well if no one is going to bet at that board, I will!". The dealer stared laughing and said "That-a-girl! Show these boys how it's done". Everyone folded and I won the pot. It was funny. Dealers can tell right away who knows what they are doing and who doesn't. Then the secret looks, smirks and winks start and I have a ball watching the dealers roll their eyes at some of the boneheads at the table.
One older lady who was very efficient and nice. She always brought the drinks right away and said "Good Luck to you" when she brought the drinks.
I played on Sunday night and the manager went out of his way to start a new 1/2 NL game for the seven of us who wanted to play. Very nice and fast and accomodating.
Harrah's uses the Total Rewards card for $1.00/hour play. They also had High Hand Jackpots for Quads (with two hole cards), Royal and Straight Flushes.
