I find slots depressing...
Something about grinding away at the street urchins at the dollar BJ game turns my stomach but I have practiced there. It's a great place for a beginner to hone their skills. I haven't experiened any heat but I can see how it would be easy to stick out.
The players that frequent this place are the worst I have ever seen. The budget fanny-pack crowd from Minnesota and Wisconsin, on their 1st or 2nd trip to Vegas.
I doubt MGM is going to keep this propery, it's days are seriously numbered.
