Default Do LA Casino have different playing \"personalities\" ?

I play LHE @ Commerce most weekends. Recently, I started playing Hawaiian Gardens at the request of another 2+2'er and frequent poster, Frond. I like HG's food, so I now play both casinos most weekends. And I have noticed distinct differences in the "average" opponent's style of play at each casino.

Do others feel the same way? Do other LA casinos have comparable or different "personalities?" Please limit your responses to LA casinos. If you want to talk about your home turf, please start your own thread.

My observations about the differences in "personalities" between Commerce and HG include:

1) Commerce is way more LAG than HG, especially PF. For example, my Friday 4/8 game at Commerce was really 16/8 since over 1/2 the hands were capped PF.
2) Commerce tips the dealers better.
3) Commerce is more verbally aggressive than HG, especially @ O/8.
4) Lots more players limp with quality hands in HG than Commerce.
5) Tight is tighter @ HG.

I'll also say the overall service is better @HG, but that is not an issue that should impact play.

Now I admit that I only play LHE and O/8 up to 4/8 in both casinos and my observations are limited to those games.

Do you local yokels agree, disagree? Any "personality" differences with the Bike, Hustler, etc., particularly on issues that impact play at the table? And there is a "crosspollination" of players. Lots of players play both casinos and yet the games have a different feel. What gives?
