Today was the first time ever visiting! Definitely enjoyed ourselfs at the casinos. LOVED HOW THEY HAVE A SMOKE FREE CASINO AND ONE SMOKE ONE. We were first time members. So we got $20 for food and $20 for play. Definitely will be back with our friends and family!
This is a nice casino. Have seen some decline in the upkeep in the most used restrooms. Machines are not kept as clean as when I first started going there. Beach rooms are better than tower rooms. Tower rooms are dated. Prime cut restaurant is the best restaurant on premises in my opinion. Excellent service and outstanding food. Most of the slot machines are set up where you don't feel like you are stacked on top of other people. Walkways in between allow you to walk around without bumping into others.
The 2 main buildings are joined by a walkway over hwy 90.
The casinos are large and takes lots of time to see all the rooms, restaurants, bars, pools, decks and casino areas.
The older building is a locals favourite and it is busy. Be aware that the casino has been smoked in for over 20 years.
The newer building has a wonderful harbour view and the Gulf and it is smoke free.
They have an excellent new player offer for food and free play.
My husband and I got a room here a few weeks ago. The girl who checked us in was rude.and not welcoming or friendly at all. She was very soft spoken, which is fine but we had to ask her what she said numerous times and still couldn't hear her and she got an attitude and rolled her eyes instead of raising her voice. Neither one of us are hard of hearing. We just couldn't hear her over all of the noises from the slot machines. The room was nice, however, when we tried to sleep in the bed the sheets and comforter were so cheap and uncomfortable that we laid there and could not sleep because both of us started feeling itchy scratchy sensations on our whole body. At first I thought maybe it was bed bugs but we didn't see anything and thank God didn't have any bite marks. We ended up leaving because there was no way either on of us were going to be able to sleep in that bed. During checkout we told a different girl at the front desk why we checked out early and she never acknowledged what we said. Never apologized for the inconvenience or anything.
Also, I never win anything there. I realize casinos are meant to take your money, but after never winning anything after the money I spend in there, it doesn't make sense to keep going back.
Overall a really nice place, Buffet is always really good and had some of the best barbecue ribs I've eaten in years, I was impressed. I'm
Casino wise I've just not been very lucky here lately.
But they have a great variety of games to pick from.
We had a great couple of days there. Enjoyed the no smoking and the smoking side of the casino. We brought our aunt and uncle with us they enjoyed it too. Food was good rooms were clean and spacious. The staff are great so very helpful.
The room is spotless. I had no allergies. The beds were normal "hardish". AC on fan was nice and wonderful to sleep by. Room was quiet. No free water bottles in the room. Take your own water. All soaps and shampoos are in dispenser pump bottles. If you like a soap bar take your own. |Casino.|Still plenty of penny machines at both the beach view and island view. Beach view had a daiquiri bar that you could get a small glass by walking up. They are also non smoking. The bushwhacker daiquiri one was pure sugar. |We got served alcohol at 5 am. That is why this is the #1 casino in the world. Without fail this place has awesome drink service with a smile. That's why we'll keep coming back for life. |We missed having the shrimp poboy this time at their restaurant. I'm sure it's still the best in the coast.|Checking in:|I hate how you have to walk from the parking lot, past the casino and to check-in. You are not offered a luggage cart unless you do vallet service. Some hotels allow you to turn in a dr license to "borrow" a cart. This one said NO. We pretty much broke our backs moving our stuff. I'm going to buy own little travel cart.
The good - Clean, plenty of slot machines and table games. Workers are friendly and helpful. Some special events for seniors on different days. The beach side of casino is smoke free while the in-land side is full of smokers. The buffet is pretty good with selection and taste. The bad --Late morning and early afternoon there is a shortage of drink servers. Happened to me on 2 different days. It seems they service the table games and that center area. And of course, the mixed drinks are weak and full of ice. Always a big crowd at this casino. Seems to be a favorite of alot of people.
