Smoky as heck, as everyone has said. The sports book has seen better days, and is so outdated as to seem vintage. The folks who frequent this spot are not the sort you want to meet in a dark alley after they lose.
The poker "room" is another story- it's exactly one table, and it's probably marginally famous for being the last poker room where smoking IS still allowed. The buffet here has awful reviews but really isn't that bad- typical diner fare on par with a cafeteria.
I would not stay here, but I'll come by with the BF to place a bet- the crowd of dedicated locals is kind of ragtag, but they're really into their games and alternate between cheering happily and screaming in agony- and I find that incredibly entertaining.
