Edgewater Casino ruined Plaza

LaMzWeLL · #1 (**permalink**) Feb 11, 05

checked out the new casino at plaza of nations and all i can say is damn, you guys ruined the building. besides location, i do understand why they used plaza of nations for a casino. they have panelled off every single window. i went in the day time and it was dark in there, it made no sense to me, they even built a roof to block off the glass roof. they took away the essence of the building. if there was an enterance from the underground parkinglot into the casino and people entered from that way, you would probably not realize that you are in a building made of glass. i'm pretty sure this rage arrised from my emotional ties to the building from countless R@VER memories of goodtimes at the building lol, but from a different perspective, plaza of nations is one of vancouvers more well known landmarks, which means it should be showcased in a better way, edgewater should atleast remove their artificial roof so some daylight can shine into the casino.

Casino owners block off the windows so you cant tell what time it is.
thats also why you wont find a clock in a casino...that way you'll gamble longer.

the place does look smaller.

and it needs more poker tables but it's alright

I think it's nice. I'm overdue for some rounds of blackjack.

Do you think plaza was nicer with a bunch of sweaty etarded ravers? I totally disagree!

Pop a cap and go again again... I think you'll trip out huge to the blinking lights and sounds of the slot machines.

^ HAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH I used to joke about that all the time.

I haven't had time or the cash for that matter to go check out the Roulette Tables. I'd like to some time soon though.

i've been to plaza for other things besides raves, plus i didn't say anything about sweaty etards. the building itself is very unique, just dont understand why the would not use any elements of plaza, instead they built a box inside of it

I still don't understand why they didn't just use the already existing casino beside the Plush.

I think it's like a kill floor. Which is not actually a floor, but a loose grating that allows material to sluice through.

there's a "kill" button. it rotates between playes at the table. When you have the "kill" button you can double your bet from the table limit.

Carrie · #25 (**permalink**) Feb 13, 05

actually, the kill button doesn't rotate between players. it goes to the player who won the pot. if that person wins the next pot the kill is on! which means that the bets double (so in a 4/8 game it would turn to 8/16) and the player who has the kill button has to an 8$(in a 4/8 table which now is a 8/16) blind before cards are dealt.

it just means that there is more money going into the pot. you can easily win a lot of money this way. but damn you lose your money fast too.
