The OP seemed like he wanted to "see a nice place". There is certainly plenty of action at the Hawaiian Gardens, but it is the barest-boned, least fancy poker room I have ever seen (out of about 30). Kind of like a warehouse with poker tables, unless it has changed a lot in the last year. The Bicycle also gives a decent free meal after you play for 3 hours which I like. Never seen anymore unsavory characters there than at any other place, and never been mugged walking to the room from the fenced in, guarded parking lot...
