just to let everyone know, the trip was $12 round trip from the Sheraton on North Water Street downtown and I received $10 back once at the casino.

I'm still not sure the trip was worth it as I was led to believe that there were no stops other than the two downtown stops that were mentioned but we made about 8 stops on the south side and other locations on the way back. The return trip seriously took about 50 minutes.

The poker room (Resorts) seemed very nice, but there was a lengthy waiting list and several empty tables. I signed up for 5/10 and was about 10th on the list while there were at least 6 tables not in action. At the same time, there were two half-full 7-stud games going. More of a complaint about dealer scheduling than anything. Also was at least mildly surprised that 5/10 LHE is the lowest limit offered. I haven't been in a live cardroom that size that didn't offer 3/6 or 4/8. No big deal, but still somewhat of a surprise.

I only got to play for about an hour and a half before having to get back on the bus at 11:15. Overall so-so experience although I'm sure my transportation situation had something to do with it.
