This is a large hotel so be prepared to walk quite a bit to get to your room and casino floor. The covered parking is nice as well as all the restaurants that are on property. The area is safe. This is our 4th stay here and would return again. Looks like people enjoyed the pool area but we arrived too late for that.

The pool, food, drinks were all great. Pricing for food and drinks was normal for a hotel, not as bad as many casinos. Bed was not the most comfortable. Pillows were flat and useless, bring your own.
