I went there last night. Supremely overcrowded, maybe by as many as 3 tables. Other than that it was nice. Lighting was dim. Comps are $1-$1.50/hr depending on the limit you are playing. Electronic board. Shufflers. I recognized some good dealers.

They were spreading mostly 4-8 last night. 1 to 2 8-16 games, a few 15-30's. Some LL stud and Omaha8 as well. $2 chips for the $8-16.

I am disappointed that they spread 3-chip 2-chip games, but given the desire to compete against Bellagio and the room manager coming from a 3-chip 2-chip house I'm not surprised. That's really unfortunate unless they then go to a $50-100 and a $100-200 instead of $80-160. There may well not be the demand for that many games at those limits though. One would think that Commerce migrating to solely 40-80 after spreading both 30-60 and 40-80 would be the model for other rooms, but I guess not.

Staff was very friendly, etc. but you'd expect nothing less on opening night.

So to recap:

Negatives:
Cramped
Spreading the wrong structure games in middle limits.

Positives:
Everything else unless you dislike dim lighting.

As for the rest of the Casino, it's extremely nice. Kind of like Bellagio on steroids. The inside of the mountain in the front is absolutely the bomb.
