About bus rides:

For the free ones, they leave at 2:15 4:15 6:15 and 8:15 from Hilton Towers (S. Michigan and 8th).

They leave the casino one hour after those times. It takes about 40 minutes. The last one to downtown leaves at 9:15. However, there is a bus to China town that leaves at 11:15pm, 1:15am , and 3:15 am. I took the 1:15am bus and got dropped off at 35th (Cellular Park) and took the train up to LaSalle and Division.

I think the transportation was simple and there weren't too many creepy people on the train at 2:00. And once you get a stop of two from 35th (closer to downtown) there are a lot more regular people.

Also, the bus driver I had from downtown to the Casino was the [censored]. He was retired ATF after getting shot twice in the belly. It didn't kill him cause he was/is extremely fat and it may have saved his life. He was a really nice/cool guy.

As for the poker, I only played 1/2NL and it was the funniest game I've ever seen. Very loose-passive at my table with standard raises usually being $15 preflop. At a different 1/2 table there were effective stcks of at least $400 about everywhere (max buy-in is $300) and they were absolutely horrible. I saw one guy raise to $50 cold preflop and got one caller. (The PFRer had A7 and took it down with A7 on a K 2 6 J 7 board after getting called for $100 on the river.

The 10/20 game that was right behind me seemed very live (one loud azn and one loud black guy)
