I was in the Twin Cities this week on business and since Doc does not yet have his official poker room ready I decided to try the new room at Treasure Island in Red Wing, just outside of Hastings.

Positives:
1. Brand spanking new everything, even the chips
2. No Smoking in the room
3. Very friendly and helpful staff
4. Great 2-10 spread HE game
5. Bad beat Jackpot

Negatives:
1. Dealers were all still VERY green so there skills were just a tad off
2. Waitress dressed like the gals at Dennys (hey I want feathers and fishnets OK)
3. Not enough players yet to spread a big variety of games yet. (2-4, 3-6, 2 to 10 HE.
4. No regular tourney schedule yet

All in all I enjoyed the experience and will play there next time I'm up here. Nice to have a choice over the always smokey and crowded Canterbury Park.

Treasure Island might actually be the finest poker room I've been in...

Nice atmosphere...small room...10 large tables with plenty of space...wood walls...tin/copper ceiling...great spot lighting...no smoke in sight...Paulson chips...large plasma screens

These guys didn't just stick some tables in the corner, they did it right. Bravo, tribe.

I got there and slapped down $200. Left 2 hours later with $270 thanks to the guy across from me who liked to chase everything.

I'll be back...and don't really have a reason to go to Canterbury now unless it is for a tournament.

O.o Ya i work at TI in the computer support.

Yes the dealers seem green but most all of them moved over from the Black Jack tables. All-in-all there has been lots of positive feedback from the players. They had the room custom built from an outside source, not sure who tho.


Too bad employees can't play.......... :'(
