Not a room I play often. The Palms is pretty bi-polar and so is this poker room. The Palms vacillates between being a place that caters to locals (Sun-Th, days, etc.) and being the hot spot for the MTV crowd (weekend nights). So depending on when you stop by, you could be at a table with a bunch of rocks and strong players, including the occassional pro, or you could be surrounded by drunken 20-somethings and tourists who are ramming and jamming. Either way you need a bankroll to survive the swings at the Palms.
Again, very dependent on when you go.
Some real shnooks here. There are also some really fast, "flair"-ish dealers. Not much in between.
They take a while, especially on the weekends and on crowded nights.
Nothing special.
Log in with your card, blah blah blah.
