Bay 101.
Lots of room, lots of games, edible food, good parking, friendly waitresses, and the best staff anywhere. The players are pretty well behaved, too. Plasmas everywhere w/ full the dish. You can usually get whatever game you want.

While Bay 101 is the least gross of the Bay Area casinos, the decor is still chintzy and it would not stand up in Vegas.

I look for good areas to relax while waiting for the games, lots of room between tables, and a good experience at the tables. You can't beat Bay 101 all around there.

Yeah, there's lots of room over there on the high limit side. On the low limit side, not so much. Sometimes it takes some route pre-planning to get to your seat.
It is nice having benches to sit on while waiting, but then since it's just a cardroom, there's nothing else to do so there's better be a place to sit. It sucks that Venetian took out their couches and chairs.
As far as the staff, on the low limit side it is a mix of extremes. There are a few of the best floor I've dealt with and some of the most clueless floor I've ever met. I think some of them were hired for their expertise in the Asian games because they don't know jack about poker.
