| - From afar, you could seriously convince yourself that this place is a huge hospital. It is definitely a compound! And when you see a Hampton Inn right in front of it, its even more convincing!
The closer you get though, you realize that this place is actually pretty nice...
My friend and his GF wanted to check this place (its a few miles closer than the stand-alone Casino AZ) out to go (yup you guessed it) gambling.
We arrived on a Thursday night, and it was pretty crowded! A much hipper crowd (as you could tell just by the cars near the valet) than the other place.
I found it interesting how the hotel lobby was right next to the entrance of the casino- that is kind of iffy to me... I know they do it so they can suck you dry, but still, I would have expected better from a place like this.
This place houses a much younger crowd and is definitely less smoky than other casinos around... But I am there to win money, not to get married or to breathe clean air. Unfortunately, I lost $200 on slots here quicker than I lost $100 playing blackjack on a cruise ship. I realized then this place wasn't for me.
There aren't nearly as many bill-breaking machines here either, so plan ahead and good luck finding an open seat.
If you want to see or be seen, then this is the place for you. If you want to win money, head down the highway (I am sure people are winning tons of jackpots there as I am writing this)...
