We enjoyed our stay-Chinese food & sushi rolls through room service were yum, pool area was enjoyable. Only complaint is you have to Uber everywhere as there isn’t much that’s walkable but the hotel itself is nice.

The casino is clean and large with no smoking, so if you're a gambler, it's a great place to go. The rooms are nothing spectacular for the price. The pools are beautiful and there are things to do poolside, like cornhole.

The check in process was a little frustrating as our employee wasn’t so kind. When we returned later and got a different employee she was much nicer. The hotel is large and busy, definitely a tourist attraction. If you like gambling this is the place for you. The two pools were fantastic.

I had a very bad experience with a waitress, lets call her “Liz” at the Blue coyote Cafe. She was extremely rude and even tried to swindle me out of my change for my bill. I had to call for a manager. Hopefully the manager took my complaint seriously ! So no other person will have to encounter such an injustice.

I was supposed to receive a room upgrade with VIP status. They gave us a beautiful room with a king bed, but did not see we had a third person registered with us. Was offered a rollaway bed that I would have to pay $25 for. So we had to downgrade so we could get two beds in our room. The room was still beautiful, but didn’t have a balcony like the upgraded room. The lady at the front desk was snobby and rude. Very soft beds. Warm pools. I would definitely come back.

The room was not cleaned properly. There was hair in the bathroom. The bedsheets and towels didn't smell clean. When we were checking in the check in clerk was giving us a very hard time. Everytime we asked her a question she would pretend she didn't hear it. We also arrived 4:00 pm, but they said the room wasn't ready and we had to wait and they weren't able to provide an ETA. After spending some time explaining to them that we had come from a long travel- they eventually gave us the room.
