first trip to turning stone casino

[ericshaw]

this will be my first time at a casino.
i was just wondering how the poker room is run at turning stone.
do you buy chips from the dealer or cage?
and is the poker room smoking or non?

also ive been reading that the 200 max nl game is superior to the 100 nl, does that game usually run all day or when does it start/end?

thank youin advance.
