Great staff, delicious food and fun games! The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because of the loud clubs downtown. We heard everyone and every thing! Keep that in mind when booking. Our room was in the tower. Other than that, it was a great experience!

Our first night there was no heat in the room. The maintenance fixed it at 0400. We asked for some kind of comp and the manager gave my wife the side eye. The people working the floor, restaurants, etc were AWESOME! We did not realize there was still smoking in the casinos so that sucked. We understand why. Just tough to breathe sometimes
