Re: Side Games at the Rio
[ QUOTE ]
don't go in the garage, go all the way around by the convention entrance. [/ QUOTE ] I think Surf figured that out (couldn't tell for sure). But his reference to the long U walk sounded to me like he hadda park way the hell out and walk to the Pavilion entrance, and then walk all the way back down the interior hallway the way he came to the Amazon room. They need an entrance closer to the Amazon room! There may be one, but nothing looks inviting.

Then hike right back to the Amazon room. Lemme in that door just west of the Expo Loading Dock 2 on the east side of the conference building.

[/ QUOTE ] A floor person basically told me to do the same thing when I complained. It was a totally rediculous scene. It took an hour to get into a game (I didn't follow the FP's advice). I finally quit after 30 minutes because the game took forever to deal and there were 3 open seats despite a list a mile long. Then I had to get on a line to cash out my chips. The game wasn't even that good. I was playing 2-5. Three stacks at the table had about 100 or less. I am not going back there to play cash games -- at least not for a few weeks. I can't believe the other rooms won't pick up the pace. Why in the world would you play cash at the Rio unless you're waiting for a buddy to get out of a tournament? If you play at Bellagio it's nicer with better drink service. The Venetian gives you $3 an hour with much better drink service. The Wynn gives you better comps too. Even MGM has comps. Bottom-line: Unless it turns out the games are the juiciest in the world, I wouldn't play there. Too much of a zoo. Also, I would feel VERY uncomfortable leaving chips at the table there. The turnover of dealers staff and players is so high that I would imagine the Rio is a chip thief's paradise.

[/ QUOTE ] in my experience, good things don't come to those that wait in all honesty, if you saw how disorganized and what a zoo it was, you'd probably think of doing the same (unfortunately my ID is a big part of me)...minimal floormen to call out cashgame open seats, easily the wait would've been 1 hour or more

Re: Side Games at the Rio
From what I saw yesterday, if you were there last year, imagine the worst, most chaotic day you witnessed, and then times it by two.
Yeah, bad, bad. Felicia [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Side Games at the Rio

in my experience, good things don't come to those that wait [/ QUOTE ] So, do you break in line at movie theaters? I guess the difference here is that it's unlikely anyone will notice you cheat. Or "not wait," as you might prefer to call it. Now, if the set-up is as disorganized and chaotic as a few people have suggested, then I can't say I blame you for it...although you mention having done it at the Commerce too. Bottom line is for each minute you save in doing this, other people have to wait that much longer in the aggregate.
