It was a bit brighter here but it was a worn out room like Binions too and I kind of thought the players seemed similar; friendly and not out to take your money. At least this was when I was playing at 2am in the morning.
Everyone was friendly and not intimidating. Which is what I was afraid it'd be like on my first trip to Vegas.
So I'm kind of getting the idea that the older hotels don't have so hot ****tail waitresses and the players around you are friendlier.
Obviously people aren't coming to these poker rooms for their decor so they're just hanging out for a good ol' game of poker.
