I am used to Vegas too much me thinks - I am used to playing/gambling and drinking for free! Not the case here - the drinks get costly ($6 for a beer plus tip) but the casino is not bad! You get a 3 star kinda Ballys feel for the place when you walk in, more Vegas-y than other casinos in the city. Machines are tight of course! These places were built to make $!
There is a central bar which did not look too bad to hang out at.
I would really like to try this buffet everyone is talking about! Crab legs? I am IN! I will return for that.
Service is friendly and washrooms are very clean. Bank machines everywhere as are cash out machines for the chits.
No smoke which I love - I think I would rather pay for my drinks than sit in smoke filled casinos.
Parking not an issue - large lot.
Get a Players Card when you come in. You just have to swipe once when you walk in and makes you eligible for discounts on merchandise, the hotel, restaurant etc. You do not have to plug it into the slot machines and be forever attached to a spirally crazy cord. If you win a jackpot, you show your card and you get 1 reward point for every dollar you win.
3.5 stars.
