This review is only for the casino....
Just a great place for the casual gambler on the Strip. If you're looking for major comps and pampering, head over to Venetian. If you're looking to spend literally 8 hours sandwiched between people from all over the country, while drinking steadily and watching your money s-l-o-w-l-y disappear, then this is the place.
If you know your gambling math, then CR offers the best craps on the Strip. I don't think they do 100x odds anymore, but if you're spending that much than you wouldn't come in here anyway. The craps and BJ dealers were very friendly to me. Drinks were always flowing, no waits. Even the bar has great drink specials (my wife got tired of watching the dice rolls).
I will admit, even though I know the 6:5 BJ payout is a big no-no, this is one of the few places I found that has you hold your cards at BJ. And I know it has nothing to do with it, but I ALWAYS have better luck this way. (Ignore my advice, go ahead, I dare you!)
Seriously, CR is a tiny cramped casino that is a lot of fun. Fellow players in there are very down-to-earth, not all stuck up like the big places. You'll probably meet some awesome people there. The dealers appreciate the value of a buck and will be friendly. Make sure you tip well and your drink glass will never be dry.
