| - This is a "We Love Locals" casino, and what they really love is very old locals, not that there is anything wrong with that, if you're really old or enjoy the company of the really old. I'm pretty old, so I'm comfortable with that.
The casino is deceptively large. I was with my wife, and when we gamble together we play slots. Most of the slots here are the kind that cost a lot of pennies and have about twenty-five odd characters on the screen. Also, there's a huge percentage of video poker machines. We enjoy the games that have the diamonds and standard slot icons, oh, and also butterflies. There were very few games that we played there, but we beat them pretty hard and didn't win. Poker room looked nice, but I didn't go. Best part of the casino was the cocktail service - adequately staffed with hard-working friendly waitresses who kept them coming.
The hotel was okay. Front desk staff was outstanding, friendly, and competent. We had a comp room and upgraded it online to a deluxe room. It looked nice but instead of a king bed we had what I assumed was two queens. It wasn't until I fell into bed with my wife that I realized they were double beds. So for an extra $20 a night, I got a half a bed. (Not complaining, Honey) Other important room amenities passed the test. There were two vanity areas in the bathroom, on opposite sides of the room, so you can stare at your roommate's back side through the mirror while you're brushing your teeth. Shower head and water pressure were good (important to me). Toilet had a hydraulic power-flush (TMI?).
Restaurants. We had two breakfasts at the buffet. Buffet is incredibly inexpensive and certainly a daily stop for many locals. Breakfast was very adequate and comparable to more expensive alternatives. We had one dinner at the Italian restaurant, and I thought it was great. The waiter was cool, knowledgable about his wines and the menu. Food and wine were excellent and relatively inexpensive. I would eat there again, but I probably won't stay there again soon, so I guess I won't eat there again.
The pool. This was kind of weird. They have a huge pool with a very intricate design, like a big fish. Couple of negatives here, however. The pool isn't heated, and there is no jacuzzi/whirlpool. Bummer. They have a bar set up in a palapa, and the drinks were inexpensive and the bartender was very customer friendly.
Overall, the Sunset Station is pretty good. It's not really a fun place, but it is an inexpensive place to eat, drink, and sleep. I may give it another go in about, say, ten years.
