Default Live Vegas $1/2NL vs $2/5NL

I am a winning regular online player in $200NL (1/2) and $400NL (2/4).

When in Vegas I usually play the $1/2NL at MGM or Venetian and am familiar with the flavor of these games. The way I see them:
- Preflop raises are generally to $10-$15 and get 3-4 callers.
- cb is usually only 1/2 to 2/3 pot
- lots of fit or fold on the flop but typically at least one caller/floater/chaser.
- Players who call the flop and get heads-up usually also call turn.
- $1/2 stacks dont get particularly deep.
- turn & river raises from typical players frequently are for monsters.
- Locals to tourists ratio is 60/40 daytime/week and more touristy weekends & nights.
- 3-bet ranges preflop are usually a monster (except from short stack, any pair 66+ or AK AQ).

Next trip, I plan to move up to the $2/5NL. What differences should I expect? More locals? What's a typical preflop raise, how many typically call? How's their postflop play? What's typical CB success rate? How's 3-bet ranges? More bluff raises? etc.

I've read through the B&M forum with a "+Vegas +NL -Re" 1 year search. Lots of good discussion but didnt find anything dissecting this particular question.
