| - It's hard for me to be impartial, so take this review as a grain of salt. If you have a tie to Hawaii (like me), then this place is probably for you. It's funny, because I live in California and I visit Hawaii once a year, but I see more family and friends at the Cal than when I go home. LOL.
Because of all the Hawaiians, the snack bar and the coffee shop have tons of local favorites like bento, oxtail soup and miso butterfish. There is also a restaurant upstairs (not affiliated with the hotel) that only serves island food. The Redwood grill is a nice little steak house which offers quality surf and turf.
The regular rooms are average. The medium sized suites offer a little more space with a separate seating area. The larger suites have a seating area with a large 60" TV, small dining table, wet bar and a separate bedroom with jacuzzi.
I like to gamble here because it is a little more businesslike. Generally, people here are more serious about gambling and you don't get the people who don't know what they're doing or the sloppy drunks or the obnoxious bachelor/bachelorette parties.
For perks, the Sam Boyd group treats their customers well. For medium heavy bettors, you will get more bang for your buck here than on the strip.
