I am probably in the minority here, but I feel the "nice" rooms are intimidating. I like for the poker room to feel very accessible, it shoudl not look like the sort of places you have to be quiet in.

Great point. A classic example of an intimidating and unaccessible room from the old days was the Las Vegas Hilton circa 1987 or so. It seemed all the policies catered to local nits. It was way in back near the sports book and the entrance was narrow in such a way that you couldn't even see the tables in back. The lighting was designed to make it easy to see cards put the fact was it made the players look like they crawled out of a crypt.

Awful place, I'm not surprised it eventually closed.
