The casino floor is huge and has a decent selection of machines. Table games are nice, but minimum betting is steep. Not everyone is able to bet such high minimums and just want to enjoy playing. Hotel room was awesome. The beds are comfortable and the room was quiet and was easy to get a great night s sleep. The food experience is where it falls short. The chef inspired food everywhere doesn t leave any simpler choices. The buffet costing $44 is outrageous. Not everyone wants the lobster and crab but just want a typical buffet and salad bar experience. To charge that much is a deal breaker. I took my elderly parents and they couldn t eat $44 worth of food between them. I m not sure I could eat $44 worth of food either. Even the 24/7 bistro was extremely expensive. To have 3 people eat (two had burgers and one had soup) and pay $68 is crazy. Sorry, there is NO burger worth that. Overall enjoyed the stay and the play but you need to have a lot of cash on hand just to eat and sleep.
