Turning Stone Resort·Casino (Verona, NY)
Since it has no Brick and Mortar thread and I am actually going there this week to check it out, here is a Turning Stone thread.

Please be aware that in order to ensure a safe and comfortable gaming environment, backpacks and other large bags are not allowed on the gaming floor including the Poker Room.
Seriously?
Unfortunately you're gonna see this at more Casino's in response to what occurred at the Hard Rock in Florida. I love a backpack when playing, but I understand.
unless they are also going to ban purses or at least limit size, I don't think banning backpacks will do much
Lot's of ways to sneak something like that into some place
If it is like Hollywood FL, there are times you have to take your luggage through the casino to get to hotel room from check in

People on bus trips to Turning Stone are always rolling their luggage through the casino to get to the bus depot. Wonder how they’re going to deal with that?
@Anton,
There is a pathway adjacent to the casino floor that wraps from the Spa/Pool all the way around to the exit closest to The Lodge/Bus Depot, and bisects the slots area so that families, employees, and people with luggage can access the property without being on the casino floor.
Yeah this rule makes it tough for poker players to carry a bunch of stuff with them, but it’s also not a far walk (less than 5 minutes) from the poker room to the self park garage/lot, and to all hotel rooms on property (less than 3 minutes). It’s inconvenient but it’s not the end of the world.
SEPARATE NOTE:
Pete if you are monitoring this board, you are doing a wonderful job in your new role as captain of the ship - the poker room is clean and friendly as always, the new high hand specials are fun and exciting, and us players appreciate your hands-on approach!
Much continued success!
1.5 hours into day 2 and still 12 away from the money..... after an 11 hour day 1..... in a $400 tournament......that will likely end at 5am......
I appreciate a "good" structure but this is absurd and needs to change.

They’re making a bunch of changes to the next go-round, reducing level lengths and playing to the money on day 1.

That's good to hear.
Really, they don't even need to reduce level lengths. Getting rid of the repeat 100BB level and reducing SS to 25k should at least get you into the money on Day 1.
Everyone wants good structures myself included but reaching the money 3 hours into Day 2, come on.
FYI was just looking at bravo and they posted details on the January tournament. Like @billybizzle said shorter levels now and into the money on Day 1.
