Visited on an August Monday early afternoon - I was staying in Hollywood beach area and had a flight around 7pm so I wanted to get close to the airport and avoid any traffic worries and this was the perfect place for it.
New chips, nice furnishings, clean and tidy - nice felt/tables and chairs and TVs - inviting and comfortable.
I played 1/2 NL. Good action, competent dealers and floor, attentive waitstaff, very good food (chicken caesar) and good mixed drinks. Several tables were going plus 30 minute high hands and this was not a bunch of old men folding and waiting for premium hands.
For a midwestern white guy, the vibe was decidedly spanish-speaking Miami. The other three casinos I visited had some spanish on the fringes but this one was mostly spanish/spanglish and they accommodated english - I didn't mind, I'm just making an observation. Never did I feel uncomfortable and I could seek clarification in english any time I wanted. I had a great time, everyone was friendly and it helped that I ran good too.
There was a mix of player types - a couple young guns more interested in their phones and being aggressive and straddling a lot others were social and having fun an old guy or two buying in for the min - after 4 days of playing poker in places north of here, I found it above average in terms of action and money on the table for a 1-2, in line with other high hand promos going on, did not get a players card, and frankly the nicest room I saw, edging out Hard Rock.
