| - Ohio's first casino! So here's the thing... if the horseshoe casino was in Vegas, it would probably be a 2.5 star. But compared to the Montreal casino, this place would be a 5 star. Compared to MGM in Detroit, I'd give it a 3 star. Therefore, I ended up with a 4 star.
I am pleased with Ohio's first casino. I expected this place to look dull and tacky on the inside,but they really did a good job making it all classy. So here's my full review:
Casino(3.5)-- the good is a tad small. It's about 2 floors tall and probably takes forever to even play at a table. I tried to get in on a Saturday and although the wait didn't seem to bad, we left because we didn't think it was worth it. Finally came back Sunday lunchtime and got in without a wait but it was just packed at every table. Slots were empty though! Overall though, this casino is built really classy and I'm definitely coming back to gamble soon!
Sunday brunch buffet (3.5)-- I recently went to the Montreal casino buffet and paid $26.. & it sucked. When I heard the Horseshoe casino Sunday brunch was also $26, i was expecting some really crappy food. But guess what? It's not bad! There's different sections-- Asian, Shuffle, Desserts, American, Italian, Salad, & Carvery. Here's what I think about each section:
Asian (3.5)-- The broccoli & beef was really delicious, so was the seaweed salad, stir fry noodles, cha su, and kimchi. Amazing huh? The Asian food was fairly authentic. However, i felt like it was missing stuff like spring rolls, dim sum food, and maybe sushi. The most disappointing part was one of the dish was General Tso's Chicken. C'MON horseshoe casino, REALLY?
Shuttle (4)-- this section features just random selection and it was surprisingly good! The pork and potato hash was great.
Desserts (4)-- So many selections! It was great! I wish there were more cakes though.
American (4)-- this was cool! They had small baskets of fries, some sliders, it was really pretty darn good.
Italian (3) -- I was at the italian area every second to eat as many mussels as my stomach could hold. Only upsetting part was there was only 1 pasta selection.
Salad/ Carvery- (4)-- Decent with many different selections!
