I stay here several times a year. Great location and the casino is fun. I work a lot from my room between meetings. I do wish they had more food options though. The steakhouse is rarely open and the restaurant is often without a host to seat you. For food, I always end up having to drive and bring it back.

Oh, that smell...
When you first walk in you will notice a strong air freshener smell. Without the air freshener the smell of cigarettes would be overwhelming. That smell is everywhere including the room I was in, that was gross. There was mildew in the shower and the wallpaper in the bathroom was falling off the walls. Disappointing and will not return.

All around a good time
Our room was very relaxing & comfortable, the Hotel could use some upgrades & maintenance. The sink & bathtub was clogged, we were there for only a few days nevertheless. The staff was amazing & hospitable. Food was excellent at Guy Fieri’s The Casino was fun
