In the summer, tourists come from California to play on the river. The NLHE games are pretty good then. I remember one weekend, last summer, when there was over 50k on a 2/5 blind NLHE table at Riverside.
The summer is kind of dead, poker-wise, except for the weekends.
In the winter, snowbirds come down from northwestern states and Canada. They are mostly retirees, and are relatively loose players, although passive.
Locals are mostly seniors, and tight/passive, which is why the 2-6 spread limit has existed for so long, when the rest of the country has done away with it.
The rake at RS is the best, at 3/1. Everywhere else (I believe) is 3/2. Harrah's is the worst at 5/2 and I do not play there.
Rates are pretty easy to get. A lot of places will put you up for about $20 per night (very plain rooms). During the summer you will get flyers under your door or on your bed left by housekeeping offering unbelievable deals like 3 nights for $7.77 (not for each night, but total, lol).
Food comps are easy, too, but the food here really sucks. Buffets and cafes are geared towards seniors and their sensitive stomachs. Only the "gourmet" restaurants in each casino have decent food.
If you come down, say "hi" to me. I mostly play at RS, and move around from 4/8 kill to O8, to NLHE. I'm the dyky looking chick with the big mouth named Felicia [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
