I like the wacky little promotions. They aren't crap, like at TI that rewards mega-nittiness. They're mostly high-hand or bad beat, which encourages risk-taking to make big hands. Of course, I may be biased after flopping that steel wheel that paid me $150.
But yeah, ALWAYS has games running when some of the small strip places are dead.

Also, The Orleans is spending a lot of money upgrading. New Chinese/Sushi rest where the Mexican place was, probably something new going into the old spot and they have taken a REAL flyer w/ a beautiful steakhouse (wasn't willing to spend the money) that charges nearly Morton's prices. I was told that an entire upgrade is on the way which will prob cause problems for the mid-price Courtyard Cafe since it's so popular. Hopefully it will be done by my next visit.

Actually, I'm sad about that. I liked that Mexican place. I also like that Irish pub they closed down. There wasn't a better place to watch a game - there must have been 30 big tv's in there.
