Just returned from a day trip on Sunday, and I'm happy to report generally excellent penetration. Somewhat dealer dependent, as always, but the observed average was surprisingly close to 1 deck cutoff! 
From past experience, the average has been closer to 2 decks than 1, so I'm not sure if it's the change of venue (this time I played mostly in the newer section of the old casino, where they just installed BJ tables earlier in the year) or something else. In any case, I wasn't complaining.
As for the reported recent increase in heat, I didn't notice anything in particular, though I did adopt a few more camo plays than usual since I read the relevant post prior to going down there. Still, I once jumped somewhat abruptly from $10 to $100 without so much as a "checks play", so I am thinking that the new warning probably applies mostly to those with top bets in excess of $200.
Comps were generous - 30 points were added to my card for simply stopping by the Rewards Booth instead of the usual 15 - perhaps this signals a new increase in "charitable giving" during the tough economic times?
If anything in this post crosses the line of good discretion, please feel free to edit it.
