Odd buy-in max #s - $400 for 1/3, $1200 for 2/5, $3k for 5/10.
A nice addition but nothing game-changing and can't see it becoming anything better than Bellagio/Aria//Wynn.
Played once last week, evening session. Just seconding pretty much everything here. The chairs were A+, and the chips clean/new obviously.
It's nice, but was kind of a ghost town. Only a few tables (2x 1/3, 1x 2/5, and some mixed game 80/120 maybe?) going where other rooms were packed.
Biggest thing I saw/heard from players: It's a pain in the ass to get to and from. It's on the strip, but it's not accessible from the strip. The entrance is down the block and up the hill a bit. The main parking garage is a long way from the casino entrance, not connected (outdoor), then its a good walk to the poker room too. (Edit: Apparently there's a second garage for the hotel behind that's closer to the poker room. I didn't see/hear about this til just now reading the other thread)
They use Poker Atlas instead of Bravo. You'll have to jump on that app to find out anything, but you can wait list in advance through the app, which is nice.
Conclusion: It's nice, for now. I don't think I would frequent it if I was a regular in town. As a tourist, staying more towards the center where you can hit Aria-Bellagio-Caesars-Venetian easily is too convenient to pass up.
