what was so bad about the casino?

Also, what are the nearby hotels like?

Also, why the f is this capped at 400 players?

Casino-

Opened at 3 pm, and as a result the tournament started at 5 every day. Was kinda [censored], but also kinda nice cause you could go around and do stuff. Problem was though, play went until like 3 am day 1. The dealers were by far the worst I have ever had at a poker tournament. In the past in aruba, atlantis, monte carlo, there were almost no "home town" dealers or whatever, it was all imported ones from wherever. The barcelona dealers were all dealers from the casino and they were dreadfully slow and incompetant, though it got better as there were fewer and fewer tables.

Hotels- The AB Skipper was the one stars put us up at, and it was awesome imo. Great service, sick breakfasts, and ~ 1 block from the casino. It's all right by the port/beaches, and there are a ton of cool spots right near by.
