Rake vs. Hourly Drop in AC

[BigNads79]

I'm considering moving up from 1/2N to 2/5 NL. I usually play at Ceasars and I'm told that while the pot is raked 10% (Max $4) at 1/2, all players must pay $5/half-hour to sit at the 2/5 table. It seems like the tax on the 2/5 is relatively much higher and will make the game much tougher to beat.

Can anyone give me the low down on rake vs. hourly drop or refer me to a previous thread that talks about this? Is this the same policy everywhere or are there casinos in AC that rake at all levels?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
