I played there for a few days about 4 months ago. Here is what I found, in the order of your questions:

1) Playing green/black, I was offered no comps, but I didn't ask for anything either.
2) About half csm. There are certain pits that have all shoe games, and all are 8 decks. Non-csm games had table minimums of 15 at slow times, but almost always 25s and 50s. Sometimes hard to find a 25. Casino is always pretty busy.
3) I one time heard a pitboss say "100 think" which seemed to be signalling (not sure to whom) that my bet of 100 was by a thinking player. I never had any problem though, and played about 30 hours at this casino over a course of 4 days. No host ever talked to me. Pit bosses were typical -- some friendly, some not.
4) We used team play, and didn't run into any problems.

As far as heat goes, I would say this place is relatively safe for a counter. I played (with some others) for 30 or so hours over 4 days and nothing ever happened with the exception of that one "100 think" call. I wasn't going out of my way to be careful either as I figured I'd never be back and wanted to get in as many hours as possible.

Good luck. I'd be interested to hear what you find.

I played there last year for a weekend, and experienced no heat, even while sitting out hands, spreading like crazy (green/black), and winning a nice pile of chips. I even got a free room, just by asking, and they said "sure, just keep playing!". Uh, ok! That particular floor ate up my act.

All shoe games were ASM, which is good if you want more hands/hr.

The game there is pretty terrible, however. No surrender, poor pen, and 8D if I remember right. Many CSM's as well.

You have to be very aggressive there to have any reasonable EV. I wouldn't go out of my way to play there again. Being backed off there wouldn't be any big loss.
