"el kotex"...
I didn't find any decent games when I went thru there. We parked in the deck attached to the kotex, and that was the first place I scouted. I don't remember what I didn't like about the games since Southwest delivered me back home fine, but apparently delivered my suitcase to Sri Lanka or some such place, never to be seen again (along with my trip notes). I generally looked at penetration for a first cut, and I don't remember playing a single round at the EC. Played a decent game at the BC the year before but got tossed for flat-betting before the count even budged, simply because I won a few hands in a row at $25 per flat... Craziest thing I have ever seen. They wanted me to "follow them" but I was having none of that. Got ugly for a couple of minutes, but I finally just walked out and challenged the two to try and stop me....
I will say that on the "el-cortez" end of the downtown "strip" and beyond, things can be pretty seedy. Never like to see groups "running around", yelling, starting a fight here and there, etc...
