Okay, so we had booked a smoking room, but upon check-in, we were told that there were no smoking rooms available. Instead, they offered an upgrade to a 1br suite w/ a balcony. We walked in the room and couldn't believe our eyes. Like two kids in a candy store running around and getting "lost" in our own room.

It was located in the Spa Tower with a view of the entire pool area. It also came with a jacuzzi tub and a huge shower. 1 1/2 baths. It was pretty kick ass.

The casino itself can't compare to Vegas and is pretty small for a Harrah's themed establishment. Lots of slots, table games. etc. There's a Starbucks, Buffet, Sports Bar and Craft beer bar surrounding the casino. Stay away from the gift shop as everything is SERIOUSLY OVERPRICED! I think it's there for people that won big and want to have somewhere to spend their money.

On the other end of the hotel is a taco "truck" attached to a Mexican restaurant. They have bitchin happy hour specials and nice strong margaritas. The taco truck has some pretty bomb tacos also.

At night they opened up the Dive Club in the pool area. Lots of young groms dancing to wack EDM music. There's good EDM, but it wasn't played that night. Luckily, one of the huge perks to this hotel is that there is a 7-11 right next door. Get your drinks there and take them to the room and have yourself a proper pre-party on the cheap.

Overall, the stay exceeded my expectations and will definitely return!
