| - I'll give this place three stars because they have a craps table operating at all times, AND more importantly, they seem to always have a $5 table operating.
The issues I have are the smoke, the fact that they seem to penalize non-smokers, and drinks are both not free for gamblers, and expensive for non-gamblers.
So first, the smoke. As soon as you walk in, it smells like you're in an old bowling alley; obviously air filtration is not high on their list. I'm used to smokey casinos, so I'll still play, but I mean come on, you can do better.
Where it gets weird is that they seem to want to half way support the concept of a place for non-smokers by having a non-smoking table game area. If you're going to try to accommodate non-smokers, then go 'all in' and actually have reasonable air filtering, otherwise, it doesn't seem to serve much purpose. If the casino itself is super smokey, then the only thing a non-smoking table accomplishes is reducing the risk of someone blowing a big cloud right into your face; you're breathing in the same air at either table type. Second peculiarity is that the regular table area is the one with the $5 table, and the non-smoking table was always $10 even when empty, and even when we asked if we could play for $5 given it was empty. So, if you're a non-smoker and want to play at the non-smoking table, and there's already a $5 table going, AND the non-smoking table has NO players at it, they will still require you go to the smoking table if you want to play for $5. Makes no sense to me but perhaps some mathematician told them they net more profit doing it this way. I'm still giving them three starts in light of all of this because I like the fact that there is a $5 table at all times, even if crowded, and even if it's in the smoking section. If they actually filtered their air, I'd bump them to four.
Next up; drinks. No free drinks while you play; it is what it is. Where I got mildly annoyed was when hanging out at the bars with non-gambler friends. They charge a lot for cocktails; $12+, and they were weak. I couldn't tell if they're doing measured pours or not, but the end result was a pretty poor drink for that price. So that of course meant non-gamblers didn't really want to hang out there all that long given they were spending a lot on drinks and coming out smelling like a chimney.
So, three stars for the fact that I can play craps 24x7 when I visit Pittsburgh, but there's definitely room for improvement.
