Pros:

Way way above average dealers and floor people. Nice and very competent. Top 3 places I ever been to in that regard.
Easy close parking with plenty of it.
Plenty of games seem to go most all the time.
Nice to take a break and go watch and bet on the ponies in the same building.
Players love chasing their gutter straight draws and aren't afraid to pay to do it (Might be a fluke but really noticed it last time I was there too)
Most cash games and tourney tables were plenty soft.


Cons:

Way too much tourney soft playing between buddies. I mean its pretty noticeable. Just one example 2 buddies got heads up to the turn got checked down all the way with the last to act guy after the river having top 2 pair on the safest board in the world. Neither was nearly that passive with anyone else.

Place is almost too small when it fills up on the weekend after the races are over. Hard to walk around thru the sea of people.

Not really a con but never been in a room where so many people put a nickname up on the waiting list
. Don't really matter just noticed it.
