Well, I normally play $25 NL at Party Poker. This weekend, I'm going to Reno and I hope to play some 2/4 limit. I've heard these games are extremely loose..
I have two things going against me.
1) I've never played limit.
2) I've never played in a casino!!
What are the rules of thumb for the adjustments to make when going from no limit to limit?
What are the additional adjustments to make a for a super loose no fold 'em style low limit game?
How can I not make a fool out of myself in my first casino game? When do I tip? How much do I tip? Any etiquette I should know?
Thanks guys!

NL to limit....well most of the time you'll need to show down a hand to win. since it's a loose game many will call to the river with mid pair, or gutshots. you cannot control the pot, so since it's "only one bet" bluffs go out the window. they'll work on really tight players though, especially on the turn. bets on the river appear to be bluffs, so don't try that too often.
rules of thumb? well you should probably give SSH a read if you have time. but otherwise the basic idea is do not fold decent hands when the pot is large. fold marginal hands in small pots.
you can make a couple loose calls on the flop. but the turn is when you gotta decide if your hand is good or not.
i've never been to a casino, so i have no idea about tipping. but i do know you should try to socialize or people will think you're a tight rock and won't pay you off.

Play tight, don't over aggress or bluff calling stations. Play tight, 20% of hands at most, not including BB.

I have played in a casino some. It is usually customary to tip when taking a hand. Although I have failed to do this at times due to brain cramping. So I usually leave a couple bucks as I depart the table as well.
There is a principle in life that requires you give in order to get and often put another way: what goes around comes around. 
Don't worry about making a fool of yourself. There will always be someone there to take that distinction in spite your best effort.

Expect to see some of the worst poker you've ever seen.
The blinds almost never fold.
Most players are playing 50%+ of their hands
They call with anything (or nothing)
They only raise with maybe 2 pair or better, particularly on the river.
Note anyone at the table not playing like this.
Play strong hands aggressivly and you'll own them.

They won't fold, do not bet expecting them to fold.
