I have literally never gambled anywhere before coming here, but I know what I like, and I've got mixed feelings about this establishment. Yes, I understand the city of Glendale is a party pooper who would rather not allow this place to exist, and as a result, it's been hit hard by the fun police. No booze yet...but it's a stone's throw from two large plazas that have an abundance of it. Security is lazy AF and I'm sure no one would care to stop you from bringing a flask.
It's essentially a giant room filled with slot machines, extremely questionable characters, and unavoidable secondhand from indoor smoking. But it's a no-pressure environment. Where I can get in and out whenever I feel like it. Free valet, but you can park yourself. No entry fee. I don't have to go to the outskirts of town. I appreciate these little things. While I feel as though it's great for entry-level individuals like myself, it's really too bare-bones to plan your night around it. This will never be much more than a quick excursion. I'm sure I'll be back, but can I really spend more than an hour in front of haze and flashing lights?
