The only downside for my husband and I is that we were in the suites across the street from the main hotel. My husband is disabled and had to make that treck back and fourth since our car was valet parked. There is no cart that we saw that couuld assist with that part.

Horrible cocktail server

Hotel room was very nice and clean and very quiet, e erything was fine about the Hotel. Gaming there was goid but dont expect to get any beverages from the cocktail servers, mist were goid two of them were rubbish, took over an hour to even apoearand one wouldnt take my order because she said i had to bet at least .40 cents and i was betting over $1.00 a hand on video keno so of course i had to wait another hour just to get a beverage from her and she was very rude i told her get a slot manager and we can go to the players card desk and they can check my gaming and prove how much i was betting, so i received 1 beverage in 5 hours of gaming. The next night it was the same person, and i received the same crap service from her but i did receive a few more beverages. I have always loved this Hotel but next time i think i will try to find a friendlier place to stay
