At over $400 a night for a room, you expect better than plastic cups, awful water, and a $13 upsell billing for WiFi. What a racket. Also, the smell of cigarettes will linger for days. The room itself was beautiful, all else was a fail. Employees must be under a lot of pressure but that does not excuse a lack of grace.

John Paul, Dec 2019
Pros (+) I liked that the slot machines are spaced out enough for people to move around. The rooms are big and beds are comfortable. My kids love the lazy river pool.
Cons (-) I wish the carpets in the rooms are cleaner and smells fresher. The buffet food could be better especially on holidays.

Pros (+) The room we had was in the Dive Tower. It was very spacious and clean and I loved our huge bathroom. The staff was very nice and extremely hospitable when approached. All in all my husband and I had a great night out and will be back again.
Cons (-) My only critique would be when there is an event in the Casino, the wait staff should be well versed on who, what, when and where. We ate at the Cantina and our waitress didn't know where in the Casino Penn & Teller were performing or their names. Being is a service type industry, she should have known the information.

Pros (+) The location seems nice.
Cons (-) The hotel smelled of cigarette smoke even in a nonsmoking room. Hair could be found in the bathroom in obvious places. Price was 3x higher than what was delivered. Will not stay here again.

Pros (+) Lovely hotel, casino & pool! Great layout too! All of the staff were very accommodating and helpful.
Cons (-) We paid $140/night, and it didn't include wifi? Really? And asked for a later checkout, only to be told it would cost $20? The explanation on the wifi is that they don't charge a resort fee, so they charge individually for wifi. $12 for 2 devices for 24 hours. Uh.. no thanks!
