Horseshoe-Tunica's old poker-room was right next to the bar where the band would play every night. Pretty loud sometimes even though they were directed towards the main-floor.

Some players complained but I rather liked it. Thought it kept the players more lively and a bit more awake. I get kind of annoyed at players who sit there falling asleep at the table practically drooling and/or snoring and the band kind of helped the degenerates fight the sleepies a bit better.

Obviously there were occasional probs with hearing the other players but I don't think this was as much of an issue back in the days when I don't think they even spread any cash-game NL.

Not nearly as annoying as overpoweringly bad karaoke I suspect.

Then there were a couple times I played BJ at Sam's Town Tunica kind of near their little bar area. They would try to make it an attraction on Thurs or Fri evenings or something and would bring in a DJ to play music for old-people to dance to.
But they would neglect to turn-off the music over the casino floor. So I was sitting there playing BJ with this rather annoying mix of 2 different songs at roughly the same volume from where I was sitting.
Basically listening to Bill Joel and the Beach Boys at the same freaking time. Really annoying.
