The poker room was amazing, I can't really compare to others in Vegas as I haven't really been. But compare to poker rooms in Washington, this one is top notch. With the room being open to the other parts of the casino I thought it would be smokey, but only if someone is smoking right by the room side rail and you happen to be next to them. The atmosphere is great, everyone seemed to be having a good time. I got to see pros I watch on t.v. walking around and playing in Bobbys' Room too, which was pretty neat.
I played 15-30 & 30-60 limit. The players were a joke, just as good as 4-8 players I guess. They can read the board and their hands better. On the tables I was at, maybe 2 other solid players along with me... Some where playing just to "kill time" waiting for dinner.. The action is great.
Dealers were really fast and efficient. They would talk to you if you talked to them, other than that I didn't really even pay attention or notice them. A problem I have in Wa is that dealers will complain if you don't tip, but these don't say a word or even show upset facial expressions. But being excellent dealers there should be no reason to not tip :)
I don't drink while I play, but I saw the waitresses walking around about every 15 min or so. They were average looking, and had good attitudes, and didn't seem to mess up anyones orders...
Lists are long, but games move pretty steady. Seems like 8pm - 2am managers are more "stressed" so they don't fill seats as fast. BUT one floor women in particular, Leisle, was extremely helpful. She even took my cell number to give me a call so I could go get something to eat one morning. Thats pretty good service!!
Playing about 20 hours of 15-30 in 2 days got me no comps. Playing about 6hrs of 30-60 got me a $15 comp. Comps seemed to be geared toward local players, not visitors.
