I live exactly 2 blocks away from this hotel/casino. From the outside of the place it looks old and run down. Well actually on the inside it looks kinda old too. Be prepared to witness a small casino area. On a Friday and Saturday night expect it to be super packed. By the looks of the place it looks like the food would be kinda suspect but that's hardly the case. It's pretty good. Sometimes it's kinda hard to mess up steak and lobster. The restaurant stays busy. I waited 20 minutes and the line hardly moved. There's not too many casino off the strip that has the feel of the Longhorn Casino. It may remind some people of the old Nevada Palace. I didn't stay in the hotel part so I don't have any advice on that area
