the visit
Made a fast trip to see this place. Delayed an hour due bad accident at Basin Road, so time was short. Crowded.
Minuses: few restrooms, narrow walkways, clueless buffet staff (one-hour wait with empty tables in view), poor to marginal blackjack games (lots of soft 17 tables, 70-75% penetration in the shoe games).
Pluses: not many right now. Casino is actually pretty small compared to the other large resorts. Sportsbook is
great with high limits and a dime baseball line to about -150. Ticker is the best in Vegas. Unfortunately baseball wagers (Mariners--even left my mother on base--with one run in, 2nd and 3rd no outs in ninth, couldn't get go-ahead run in; and Diamondbacks--the less said the better).
Passed on the blackjack. Played the 15-30 holdem for about three hours and just coudn't get anything going.
A lot of 1.0 problems. Many kinks need to be worked out.
