4/10 Fair

Lame

The hotel itself was decent, however the casino was one of the lamest casinos I have ever been to, you cant walk around with a drink, they i only had 1 bar and you cant leave the bar with your drink to play. The restaurant was nice looking but the food was not great, everything was pretty much closed, would bot recommend this hotel to anyone. Wish I would have known to stay somewhere else.
