Clean,safe, friendly staff and environment. It offers a variety of food choices from simple meals, good sit down meals, buffet and an elegant dinning experience- Ruthie’s (excellent steaks). I highly recommend Ruthie’s. It offers a good sports bar to watch your favorite teams/sports. The golf course is great with friendly staff to accommodate and make your golf experience pleasant. For those that enjoy gambling this resorts has it as well. Plenty of betting games to choice from. Great entertainment- enjoying the live music with drinks and friends. My stay at this resort casino was a great staying experience. Great ambiance.

Very nice hotel/casino. Super clean and lots to offer. We would’ve liked to try the buffet but found out there are limited hours. The cafe was fantastic though. Bed wasn’t the most comfy but I know that’s personal preference.
