Next weekend (Memorial Day), I'm heading down to Pittsburgh for the annual volleyball tournament for my daughter, and it appears that her playing schedule might allow me to get to the casino for either the Saturday or Sunday evening tournament.

Has anyone played in these before? I'd be interested to know if they are worthwhile, and what should I expect in terms of size / skill...
 
Eh, it's to be expected for a casino this size in this area. A lot of weekend warriors who just got finished watching Rounders so make sure your LAG detector is working.

If you have never been there before, the casino is right next to the stadiums in Pittsburgh and there is a day Pirate game on Saturday which means it should be pretty packed Saturday night with the tournaments starting right when the game is ending. And regarding the Pirate game, you should be fine if you are arriving later in the day but they do have parking restrictions during certain events at the stadiums so be aware of that.

And finally, since this is a poker chip site, their tournament chips are ugly as sin. ;)
 
I’m a Cardinals fan but Heinz Field West is in my town (Cave Creek, AZ).

Harold’s is the place to go on Sundays but don’t go there in a Browns or Patriots jersey.

I'm willing to bet that Ravens jerseys aren't to popular there either....
 
I skip the tournaments and play cash at Rivers. Their poker room is a fish tank.
