| - *This review is just for the casino...and parking lot.
I just got back from this place and am so astonished that I had to write a review. I've been to my fair share of casinos and this one takes the cake for highest db ratio and lowest blackjack IQ. Before you think to yourself that I'm just writing this because I'm pissed off because I lost a bunch of money there, I spent three hours there playing blackjack and lost $25 total. That's basically breaking even, which I'm fine with. How I got to that point is another story.
I came on a Saturday night, St. Patrick's Day to be exact.I don't know if that had anything to do with it but man, there were so many clueless blackjack players there. And I mean seriously just so awful, they shouldn't be allowed within 1000ft of a blackjack table. It absolutely blew me away. If you don't know "basic strategy," you really shouldn't be playing, but if you don't have any common sense, you REALLY shouldn't be playing. More on that later.
My basic rule of thumb is if someone at the table does two bonehead moves (going against basic strategy), I usually leave and find another table. Well this repeated four times out of my first four tables. A first for me. But whatever, I don't know it 100%. So I walk around looking for a table with some competent players having lost over 2/3 of the money I started with. I find a table with people who know what they're doing and guess what? WE WON! Everyone at the table was winning and I made back all the money I lost. Two of them do the smart thing and leave and me and the other guy at the table continue to do pretty well and I'm actually up about 30% when the worst blackjack player on the planet sits down next to me. This guy was doing stuff like hitting with 16 when the dealer is showing 5. Not even just screwing up basic strategy but just doing plain moronic stuff. I'm not sure he even knew how to count. He did crap like this several times and got an earful each time but he kept doing it. I should have left after the first time he did it but I was tired and thought I could overcome it. Nope, not even close. I left the casino shortly after.
Another example that just popped into my head is when I was at an earlier table and a girl wanted to hit with 17 and the dealer showing a 10. "I want to hit, is that so wrong?" YES.
The casino itself wasn't that smokey even though it seemed like every other person was smoking. Basically every table had at least one or two people actively smoking. Way more than any Vegas casino I've been to (and I was just there two days ago). There's definitely a younger crowd here, so the higher db ratio is to be expected, but man, is smoking the cool thing to do again?
Something else worth mentioning is that I played for about two hours at several different tables losing money and didn't get carded once. I went to another table and played a hand where I split 8's twice and doubled one of them and won them all. I then get carded. WTF?
The dealers were all pretty nice. In regards to the drink service, I was there for 3 and a half hours and received one cup of water. No need to say any more.
Oh and the parking lot....whoever designed it must have been mentally challenged (or blind).
This place is a step up from your average Indian casino, but I'll take a Vegas casino over it any day.
