The Normandie Casino is Southern California's oldest casino.  It's not as large as some of the other Los Angeles rooms, but it has been recently renovated and offers a good selection of lower limit action.  The games are mostly limit, but there is a $1/2 NL game with a $300 max buy-in that is spread most evenings after 7pm.  For those NL players looking for a great action game be sure to stop by on most weekend nights for a wild and loose $2/5 game with a $300 minimum buy-in and no maximum buy-in.  The play at this game has been known to resemble a much higher stakes game because of the no maximum buy-in.

Normandie now offers a Late Night Tournament with a $2k guarantee that's held most nights and weekends at 10:15p.  In addition, on Friday nights they run a Ladies night $2k guarantee tourney at 7p hosted by Barbara Enright.  All tournaments are $50 buy-in, $10 entry fee with free food and soft drinks included.

The Normandie has recently installed flatscreen TVs and an automated waitlist.  There is a snack area, a gift shop and restaurant with reasonable prices and good food as well as a fairly large showroom.  It reminded us of the old Las Vegas showrooms.
