Cash games at Fallsview prior to WPT?

[The Life Aquatic]

How long in advance of the WPT event in late Oct. at Fallsview are the cash games good? In my past experience at Foxwoods, while the smaller buy-in tournaments were running in the weeks before the major tourny would start, the tables were super packed and very juicey. Since I can't seem to find a tournament schedule on the Fallsview poker room webpage, I'm not even sure that they run any other tournaments prior to the $10k main event...
I've recently moved from the US to Canada, and any info would be helpful!

Thanks!

Fallsview didn't run any smaller buy-in tourneys (except satellites, of course) before last year's major tourney.

the cash games at fallsview are juicy 24-7-365. If anything i'd assume they'd be harder around tourney time due to the influx of knowledgeable and competent players coming to town as an improvement over the usual donkeys.

I went last year during the WPT. I didn't like the poker-romm at all.

-We pay the rake per half-hour, but every half an hour, the floorman would show up to make a setup in the dealer's chip-rack, that would last 3 to 5 minutes.

-We were very tight. There was always someone who was bumping our chairs.

-U cant eat or drink ( unless it come from the cocktail waitress ) in the room. U can't eat an apple or a chocolat bar. On the other way, I was playing the WPT-event too ( it wasn't held in the poker-room, but in the convention'center ) & there was a nice buffet, dessert & soft drink all day long for all WPT'player. But don't consider to bring anything in the poker-room.

- Forever lineup for cash game during the WPT. They didn't open any tables in the convention even if there was many available.

- Noise. We can hear the gling gling gling of the slots 24/24 & once in a while we can hear the "performers" ( or whatever it is ) from the karaoke'bar next to the poker-room.

- Cell phone. NO CELL PHONE is the rule. U have to keep in ur pocket period. If U pull out from ur pocket to check the clock, a floor will run at U & notice U that U cant use a cell phone in the poker-room. & this, even if ur 15 steps from ur table.

-U can't be in the poker-room if ur not currently playing & have a seat. So if U want to talk with a friend who is playing, U have to scream from the rail to get his attention.

Fallsview always has plenty of 5-5 blind 500 max games.
They added smaller games 8 months ago, and now run a couple 2-5 200max, and 1-2 100 max.
Everytime Ive been there there is at least one bigger game going. Last night there were 2 tables of 5-10 1000max, and at about 9pm a bunch of players left my 5-10 to join a 10-20NL that was opening, which i believe was no cap.
I know they get bigger going, up to 25-50 NL on weekends.

During tourney time they will definitely have a bunch of decent sized games.
There is one prelim event, just like last year.
