It seems a bunch of folks come straight to the poker room after working all day at physically intensive jobs. I'm also pretty sure this is also the reason the poker room is kept at around 65 degrees.
I don't think so. When entering the casino from the parking garage, when you open the door to the elevators it hits you like a blast. I guess it is super concentrated there because it is a small enclosed space, but it is still noticeable, though to a much lesser extent, throughout the casino. I guess inside it is much more dispersed in a much greater cubic footage of air, but I do smell it on my clothes when I get home.
Anyway, small quibbles, and probably a battle I can never win.
I have to say, one certainly can not complain about the quality of games at MDL. I played for several hours this afternoon and was maybe in the best NLHE game I have ever played. A little worried that with MGM opening soon it will dilute the player pool somewhat. HSB is run so poorly, that it was never really much of a threat, but feel MGM will probably draw a significant piece of the player pool away. Hopefully the area has enough demand and expendable income to keep both rooms healthy.
I am a little concerned about what I've been hearing/reading here about cheating incidents/chip thievery, etc., being handled in any way other than permabans/charges pressed, but as I am in the area only 5 or 6 weeks a year, I haven't seen any of this personally. I would hope that management at MDL would take these issues very seriously.
I do feel that the majority of the dealers do a very good job. The cage situation has a lot of room for improvement, and often in my times at MDL it does seem like the floors(sorry, Supervisors) are more interested in hanging out and BS'ing at the podium in the corner by the stairs than doing anything else, but I find the folks at the registration desk to be very efficient.
