The conditions here are decent due to the penetration (I found a particular table who gave better then average pen). There is certainly no shortage of black chip players here as almost all the tables were full including $50 and $100 dollar tables, so higher stakes players will not stand out at all. I can't speak for the crowds at the early hours since I wasn't there, but it may be better. You will also need to be well bankrolled to play here because they take the minimums up to almost $25 besides a couple of tables during the afternoon to prepare for the night crowd. It took me almost 30 minutes on an afternoon to get a seat. Some observations about the place: Wonging in will be near impossible anytime after noon. Heat seemed to be very low as each pit seems to only have maybe 3 pit personal for around 12-14 tables and they are always being called to tables for chip transactions. The other two pits all have automatic shufflers and are all 8D S17 DA2 DAS, penetration seems to be very uniform around 1.5-2 decks, however, if you look around you can find better. One entire pit where you will find mostly $15 tables are all CSM. I did not look into the high roller pit as it was blocked off with some sort of sheet or tarp. It looks like they have about 3 different pits for blackjack (It may be four, but they built that place very well and you can get lost because everything looks similar). To my surprise on a weekday afternoon, you will NOT find any limit below $15. Was just there and thought I would touch on the place.
