I asked the floor this over last weekend and all he could say was they are coming. No hard dates yet.

played there last weekend and it sounds like EVERYTHING has to go thru the gaming commission at this point (or that was their excuse at least)
overall, looks like it's becoming a solid room. as for what was being spread it was something like
~10 1/2NL ($50-$200)
2 2/5NL ($100-$500)
1 5/10NL ($300-$1500)
1 1-5 spread limit 7-stud
2 small limit omaha games
4 2/4 LHE
wait lists were medium long (1-2 hours in the evening), but the poker room had open seats til around 3-4pm on both saturday and sunday. plenty of open seats by 1am also.
most of the dealers were plenty competent, although obviously new and a little slow on avg. a few dealers were awful and they don't keep the worst dealers off of the bigger games unfortunately. the floor was really confused about whether the placeholder chips played while chiprunners were grabbing chips. the answer was usually that "they play if the chips make it back before the person's action." so you would literally have no idea what your opponent's stack size was during the hand which is ridiculous. they said it was a gaming authority issue that would be resolved shortly. like others have said, the cage was comically slow.
the comp cards weren't usable yet, but the hours were being recorded for when they eventually start their comp program. only sodas, hot tea, coffee and tap water were free. good sandwiches, nachos, and paninis avaliable, although the cocktail waitresses were way understaffed.
my experience w/the 2/5 was that it was a soft, friendly game with a lot of people seeing a lot of flops. ~$3000 on the table earlier in the day, ~ $5000 later on. decent action. the 5/10 looked like an action game w/a lot more preflop raising and ~20k on the table.
