Parx Poker Room Review
Like most other poker regulars, I was excited about the prospects of a new room. Naturally, on the first day i played there, someone walked off with my snack tray with mt beverage and a personal belonging on it. Management and security did nothing about it. It is not why I gave 1 star, but it didn't help. The pros and cons, compared to the old room, will tell all:
PROS:
* New room, so it is clean.
* Well lit.
* Limited number of oversized leather seats while you wait.

The Parx poker room can operate up to 45 cash games, and it hosted a World Poker Tour event that drew 500 players last August. Parx is now running its own tournament series, Parx Big Stax, and is the fourth highest grossing poker room in the country. Not bad for a little startup in the Philadelphia suburbs.

CONS:
* Room is far away from the average parking spot. Not close to the main entrance at all.
* Considering the high number of players they have regularly, the room doesn't have enough tables. This is beyond surreal to all of us.
* Front podium to get on a list or check-in is placed horribly. Once a line of more than 5 people forms, it is a fire hazard to the entrance/exit.
* Only one main podium in the center of the room that cannot be reached unless you bang into the chairs of players seated at the tables nearby.
* Poker management apparently had no input in the outlay of the room. Beyond incompetent by the property.
* Chip runners cannot squeeze their carts between any of the tables. My chair was bumped about 75 times during a 9 hour session.
* PA system obnoxiously loud - as bad as the Borgata, if that is possible
* Less security
* Bathrooms no longer in poker room.
* Closest men's bathrooms have less than half the urinals and toilets from the old room. More than half of the restroom is wasted with a maze of walls and a silly, pointless mirrored wall at the entrance (looks like a 1970's sleazy hotel room). Stalls are also very narrow.
* At 7pm on a Saturday night, I waited on a line of 15 guys for a urinal - like I was at Wrigley Field in the middle of the 4th inning.
* New poker room food menu is abysmal - they eliminated 75% of the options from the former one; new items are lousy and unhealthy.
* The new USB chargers protrude out, causing either destruction to clothing or a bent, destroyed charging cable if your chair is all the way in.
* Tables are no longer numbered with signs.
* TVs are large but on the perimeter, creating a limited viewing experience in half of the seats in the room. I couldn't watch anything from the table where I was seated.

Just a terrible job by Alex property management. They should be ashamed of themselves for producing this horrid experience for the players, who they have clearly shown do not matter whatsoever.
