Been grinding tournaments in LA for a couple years now, some might know me as cam, the tall dude in flip flops. Other than parking lot security, this casino is ran very well. I played the 2/3 in the morning waiting for the tournament to start. Was in for 600 and out for around 700. The management and space are perfect for a card player. Their house rake is around standard, so I would only advise playing the tournament to stay +EV. However the cash field is very light and amateur, so it's possible to make money on given times. If you round multiple LA casinos, you won't be disappointed here.
