I've tried the President twice. I hate it.

I don't like the buy-in or the way the game plays. The atmosphere sucks and I hate their tables.

I've been to the President a half dozen times in the last 10 years -- and I always post something negative about it afterward.

Last week was my LAST visit there. Hope they just sink the boat after the new Lumiere casino opens.

8 tables - in a better location than a couple years ago.
Dirty chips tables and chairs as usual.
1-2 NL game had buy in of 40 - 100.
Asked the brush what games were open and they had a seat open for me -- now go BACK UPSTAIRS to buy your chips from the main cage. Cash them out upstairs too.
Took a friend who had never been to this casino before. He had to get a Players Card before entering the casino --- and they CHARGED him $2 for it.

All the high limit play is at Harrah's.
2/5 runs every night
The schedule for high limit games is:

Friday: 20/40 limit
Saturday: PLO that plays very big
Sunday: 20/40
Monday: PLO
Wednesday: 30/60

The limit games are played with a half kill, over buttons and a rock. PLO is 5-5 blinds but regularly has players sitting with 5k+. Straddles are the norm, blind raises to $50 arent rare. Occasionally, though not much lately, the PLO is played as a mixed game between PLO and 5/10 NL.

5/10 NL isnt regular and runs only when the demand is there, will run solid for a week or two then not go for the same.
