Ha, I was kinda thinking the same thing. When I would go Vegas in the 90s on business trips I seem to recall 7 card stud as the game of choice, but I mean I didn't really look hard for anything else (I had probably never even heard of Texas Hold'em at that point) so maybe it was around. And I definitely don't claim to be an expert on Vegas games in the 90s because I played liked maybe half a dozen times, but I'm sure others here are much more in on the know.

If I've read things right, he's at $80/hr for his first 130 hours and $0/hr at his last 80 hours.

In smaller rooms that have a limited number of tables, this actually has a negative consequence in that BBJs often attract all-day grinders grinding the BBJ, which fills out the max tables and prevents randoms from passing by the poker room and getting into the game.

My guess is that style of game (i.e. super loose preflop, lots of chips going in to take / make change for, and longer streets postflop with more cards to deal / chips to deal with over multiple streets, etc.) has a much bigger affect than dealer skill.
My test from last year had our room at ~30 hands an hour (but then our dealers also have to handle cash-for-chips transactions so that definitely slows things down).

If everyone took 2.5 seconds to fold preflop (instead of the ~0 seconds it takes me to fold since I've already looked at my hand), that would add 2.5 * 10 players * 30 hands an hour (or approximately 12.5 minutes to each round). (I mean, my math ain't exactly right, but you get the idea)
