Damn unions. I wonder if they will be open by the weekend.

Yeah they were open by 6:30. By 11:30 they had 6 tables open, 1 $300 min, 1 $200-500 a few 50-200's and maybe a 10-20. Apparantly people were waiting at the doors (not necessarily poker players) before it was announced that the strike was over!

MGM dropped the ball today. I heard from 3 people that they only had 4 tables open during the day and didn't even have enough dealers if they wanted to open more. the wait lists were a mile long and at on point they even stopped taking names. Great job management. Good luck expanding, rofl...that'll be the day!

Yea...MGM has no clue when it comes to poker. I'm going to give them maybe a 3-6 month learning curve before I venture over there again. Dealers are slow as hell, and management doesnt know the rules. Games might be soft, but you dont get any hands.
