Harrah's New Orleans

(Information based on a February 2010 visit).

Harrah's New Orleans runs several tables of $1/2 No Limit, 1-2 tables of $2-5 No Limit, and 1-4 tables of Limit Holdem Stakes ($4-8 and 10/20 were all I saw running).

The rake + Time charges at the $1/2 No Limit were extremely high: $6 per half/hour time charge, in addition to raked pots (I don't know exactly how much was being raked, but I saw at least $4 come out of one bigg-ish pot). I went during Mardi Gras and was surprised that there was no wait for playing No Limit; that said, with the rake I would pass on this game if I was a No Limit player.
