Speaking of the Riv, I was there yesterday cashing in some chips.
I'm happy to announce that they took back all the chips without any problems.
I asked if they had been taking back very many LE's, and she pointed to a shelf were about 3 racks of chips were sitting.

It was strange to see the Splash Bar gone, and the cage lady told me that nobody likes the fact that it's gone.

I was at the Palms just prior to the Riv, and as always it was packed. The Riv looked very dead, very few people in the casino.
