The best part of this place is the cigar bar, followed by the card tables, and even those left a lot to be desired.

Drinks and other consumables are expensive, though no surprise there. Happy hour dinner special at the cigar bar is nice. Cigars themselves are not over priced per se, but at the very highest end of full retail. No carry ins unless you rent a very expensive locker. Cigar bar staff was great.

The restaurants are either super nice or like what you would find in a little rural town's mall, but more expensive. $16 bucks for a basic burger meal at fat burger.

As far as gaming goes, there are various versions of live poker, pretty straightforward. The format is pretty professional, though there is some questions of legitimacy regarding the decks which will likely never be answered. Other reviews have reinforced this suspicion.

5 digital poker games, 5 digital keno games, and I don't mean game options... I mean machines... total. live keno is available, and hundreds upon hundreds of line games. The variety and distribution of digital games is unbearably underwhelming.

All in all there were a couple pleasantries worth mentioning, but the overall experience was pretty disappointing. I can't imagine going back there. For the price, your better off spending $70 on a plane ticket to Vegas, a couple hundred on hotels and have the weekend of a lifetime... Probably end up spending less this way too.
