Review of Harrah's Prairie Band Casino

My spouse and I wanted to get away for the evening...

My spouse and I wanted to get away for the evening and we ve lived in KS for about a year now and have never went to a casino. So we thought maybe we should check this one out. So we got there...and we were immediately greeted by what I think was a casino host..nice individual who helped us because it was our first time there. He gave us helpful tips of what would be available to us... After we got registered we got to gaming...the casino overall was nice and neat..friendly professional staff..they had new games I never seen as in new technology...So..after a while I wanted to explore the casino some more...so my spouse and I split up. Upon walking around...I noticed I started being followed by this big security guard ...I felt uncomfortable and didn t want to make it any more awkward so I kept walking around to see what machine I could play next! This individual made me feel soooo uncomfortable and insecure that every corner I cut he was there watching me! He made it noticeable and I didn t like it. So I got ahold of my spouse cause I felt really insecure that I was being followed. I also thought maybe it s a coincidence that we would be crossing paths but every time I did I noticed he was watching me....so I sat at a machine and waited for my spouse and told him what I was experiencing....so before we did anything else we sat for a minute until he reassured I was ok..because the environment was new he suggested he shouldn t have left my side..so after this we decided we wanted to try some food so we walked out of the casino...and this same gentleman saw us both walk out.!! Then me and my husband got looking for food that sounded appealing and we checked out the coffee shop snack area, walked pasted a bar and steak house and saw the bar and grille..by this time we were going to enter the casino again...to get to the bar and grille...just as we were entering this security guard rudely rushed past two individuals immediately stopping my husband and I...and it made me feel uncomfortable that he asked for our ID..we didn t argue or ask questions we let the man do his job..he checked my spouses ID but took a while with mine and it made me feel super uncomfortable. This security guard made me feel like I was being profiled and it felt unsafe...so the rest of the night my spouse didn t leave my side..and I m glad he didn t...I understand he had a job to do..but I crossed paths with MANY other security guards and none of them came this close to making me uncomfortable or giving me sense in a way of being watched just by walking around. But as we sat in the bar and grille we noticed that this man did not even card anyone one who was white..but would card people of a certain color...Although other than that my experience playing was fun..casino was a very nice clean environment...host and players club people were super nice..my main concern was just this security guard...other than that I hope our next experience is better than what we first experienced.
