I hit Excalibur first on friday at midnight. They changed their low BI NLH game to a $1-3 $200MAX game. The $100MAX is gone. This game was very tight passive with mostly vacationers. $6 was the standard raise preflop and everyone folded to reraises. I played at this room on Monday afternoon also, and it was totally different. Mostly locals and tourists that are playing right before their flights are suppose to leave. These tourists will gamble a lot because they want to win right before they leave and have a story. The tables had a weird wood area near the end of the felt.

I played at Bally's Saturday afternoon. They run a $1-2 $200MAX NLH game. This is a very loud room because it's just a roped off area in the main casino. This game was a loose reckless game like other people have mentioned. I think all the screaming of people winning at the blackjack tables motivated people to play looser.

On Sunday I played at the Aladdin. They run $50+5 SNG all day and $1-2 NLH $200MAX. The SNG's are a crap shoot and I would avoid them. The blinds start at 25/50 and double every 15 minutes. It is basically and all in fest by the 3rd round. This is why they never run $100 SNGs. The room is separated from the main casino and is very quiet. It makes it easier to concentrate on your game rather than get distracted by blackjack players yelling. This place had a mix of locals and tourists. The game was very fun to play with some loose reckless players and some rocks. They also have this piece of wood that surrounds the outside of the felt.
