Just to pick up some $1's and $5's, and look around.

All tables are in action and all have new chips. Blackjack includes a 39mm purple $500. Baccarat uses 43mm for higher denominations, but lammers blocked view of at least 3 denominations. Lower denominations are same as Blackjack tables.

There were no snappers. All roulette tables had new roulettes (enlarge image) that look like Bud Jones chips, but because they use a sorter (on all tables) the roulettes are not likely Bud Jones.

TITOs are standard M-Rewards branded. Several nights ago I got a Veterans M-Rewards players card from the MGM (which automatically upgrades you to Pearl) and it worked great for free parking!!!

In the picture above, the name "PARK MGM" on the left was just added. I believe it will be duplicated on the right. The center area (lit up) was where the facade fire was several years ago.

And last, but not least...

I asked the Cage person when the Monte Carlo chips will be redeemed. She said, August. Now, this is not the official word, nor does it indicate if that is the start or end date.
