Comparing this room to other's in the Area.
LC (little creek) vs. Muckleshoot
Little creek is better in every respect to Muckleshoot in it's current state. No smoke in the poker room... good games, Little creek doesn't have Reg heavy (semi-pro) groups of players it is almost 100% rec players... The casino has a hotel, pool, and golf course and it's only a 30-40 min drive from North Tacoma, it's worth the drive to come play of Thursday through the weekend. Especially during the tourney series.
LC (little creek) vs. Fortune
Fortune is better in that it has 15 tables running all the time but it's full of regs (pro's and semi pro's) the action is good but there aren't many benefits of playing with a bunch of regs... see other reviews on Fortune poker. They are 2 different animals all together.
LC (little creek) vs. Tulalip
Little again has no smoke and the games are better than Tulalip... Tulalip does have PLO games and 1/3 games running all the time but the traffic to get there from anywhere north or south is horrid after 3 pm .... they do have great shopping and restaurants, along with a nice resort.
Come out to Little Creek on Thursday/Friday/Saturday - make is it a weekend trip...... You won't regret it....
