Just spent 4 days here with the family and would return. It has more of a resort feel than a casino. I would describe this place as a casino for responsible adults and well suited and designed for families and keeping kids off the casino floor. Wave Pool is a must. Pool area does have some boozers around, so be ready to deal with a few drunks now and again.
Here are some savings tips.
#1...if you have a family, get a double queen and register one adult and one kid at checkin. They have a silly policy of charging $35/additional person past two people in a room. The check in area is huge, so just have your family sit down in the middle and save yourself a bogus fee.
#2...for the Lazy River, buy an inner tube at CVS, but make sure it is a round inner tube, not a Shamu or animal floaty. Those won't be allowed. The hotel inner tubes are $25/each. At CVS, it's $10
#3...Breakfast at the Ri Ra Pub in the hotel is hearty and good and only $10-$11/per person.
#4...Dad's...at the pool, hit up the IPA cart for good beer. Avoid the waitresses serving domestics.
#5...buy bottled water at the CVS along with sun block. bottled waters at the pool are $7/each.
#6...self parking is easy. Park on level 5 or higher to find open spots near the hotel entrance.
#7...Try Burger Bar restaurant with some friends. Great burgers and drinks.
