I always make sure the dealer logs me back in when I'm back to the table wtf is going on here?


Because “the systems aren’t integrated yet”
You’re still accumulating you just can’t see or spend them yet

Anyone smoke Marlboro Lights? I’ll be at Encore tonight with a carton of them that I’d like to give away, free.

Mom’s in rehab, cannot smoke anymore, so if you’re interested and will be at Encore tonight, shoot me a PM. I’ll be in the poker room w a carton.

Enough of this strategy talk. Let's move on to something important. The lack of beer options in the poker room !

C'mon Encore, Bud light and Heinekin ONLY ? No IPA's, Corona's, Ales ?

Serious question; If I wanted to make my opinion known to the powers at Encore, who would I contact ? There's no reason a casino like Encore shouldn't be offering more.

Hey, it cant hurt to ***** about it. My waitress yetsreday said she had heard a ton of complaints about the new ( crappy) beer selection.

If you figure it out let me know because I will also write a complaint as I’m sure others here will also

I haven't played poker there yet but I'll do the same. I'll certainly want better options whenever I do play.

Found it ! Go to the Encore website and you can email them under "guest relations".

I just sent them a quick "wtf" email. ( OK, I didn't really say WTF).

Anyway, I encourage all to do the same. I rec'd an auto response that said they would reply with 5 days. I'll keep ya posted.

Had the blt salad today. Yuck. Too much lettuce, not enough bacon and tomatoes. I also asked for bleu cheese dressing only and no crumbles and it was overpowered by way too much, not good quality, bleu cheese.
Guy at my table had the autumn rice bowl and he said it was delicious so I guess I’m getting that next time.

I think there are a lot of players like me who are interested in playing well and trying to get better, but are not advanced as far as observation skills or strategy, and who are around break-even at 1/3.
My best game is Big O and my second best game is PLO8 which I have been playing the past few weekends and even with all my experience and knowledge I got smashed 3 of the last 6 sessions by guys just outplaying me. This wasn't bad luck or running bad, they just outmaneuvered or used leverage of any nature to get me off pots and taking me to school. But I've learned a lot and hope to take it all back soon.

ABC does work great. If you can eliminate certain fundamental mistakes then those who have those mistakes will be paying you. Good luck at the tables.

I can’t confirm the cappuccino but yes to well liquor only. Encore management have clearly lost their freaking minds

I do have to say last night (Fri) was the most horrific waitress service I have ever witnessed at Encore. Everything was fine until around 8pm when it got busy. Our waitress came by and took our orders and never came back with anything. Eventually she said she forgot and re-took our orders and again never came back. Finally a third time she walked right past us with our tables' drinks and people poached all the drinks and she apologized again. Then she left for the night after taking our orders again but the new waitress claim she did get notified by the previous one and she'll try and get our order. We went over 2.5 hours without anything but water and eventually we got some drinks but not all but our PLO8 game was breaking and I was just a little annoyed. I know they're busy and everything but complaining to anyone won't help either. They really need a drink supervisor you can talk to. My table was extremely generous too tipping $2-$5 for water hoping they would bring our beers/coffees/hot chocolates etc... but no luck. It was quite scary to know that is the level of service we can expect going forward for cheap drinks.

This does not bode well for the lower rake at time games...

Look for Cassidy Spire, she’s the fnb supervisor during the night shift.

This just doesn't equate with the Wynn/Encore experience of super high end. Not sure what they are thinking.

I thought I read in this thread that management didn't want to pay the extra money to turn that feature on for 1/3. Given how many tables are running at 1/3 at any hour (9 right now at 6 am with no wait list), I don't think it is needed. If there is a long list, they open tables pretty quickly.

While it is certainly a cost aspect, another reason to limit the drink choices to two beers and well drinks is speed. Adding options just slows down the process.
