Go to the Trop room between 6pm and 2am from Wed-Sun and see Terry, tell him I sent you (yeah, say "52s from 2+2", he knows who it is).
Terry's unofficially taken over the room, and is doing things to make it a much more player-friendly room, and have it be a fun atmosphere where tourists can come and get their drink on, and make big splashy pots in the 1/2. Wants it to be laid-back, and is looking for the clientele that'll oblige, i.e. he's hoping the POS grumpy locals faze themselves out, he wants it to be a tourist joint.
Usually at night there'll be 1-2, rarely 3 1/2NL games going, $$$ on table depends, but like most 1/2NL in town, the $$$'s there for the taking.
The room is a very, very simple small room (right now, before the construction starts), but Terry and the crew will make sure you're having a good time.

Vinnie's not running it any more? I thought he did, but I'm usually wrong. This was in mid-July.
Very friendly room with very soft games. The worst thing about getting to your room in the Garden or Tower is getting to your room. You have to drag your bags through the casino, up the elevator (or escalator) one floor, through the long hall with all the kiosk shops, then around a bunch more machines and turn left to the elevator. I think they should have check-in nearer the rooms, but since there's so many wings to the place it prolly wouldn't work. Also going into the place you need to drag your bags up a few stairs, pull open the door that wants to close on your bag and then drag it up a few more stairs to the check-in desk. I'm an old fart and I really don't want the exercise thanks. But it's pretty inexpensive.
But getting back to the poker room, there's usually just one table running, sometimes two. I did see three tables running a couple of years ago, but not this past year. I don't know if she's still there, but there was a tall leggy blonde waitress with glasses who everybody called "Princess" who just brought whatever you were drinking before on the way back to get more drink orders. Of course she stood there waiting for her tip and never left until she got it. Her service was terriffic though and why wouldn't you give her a buck anyway?
