This casino resort is out in the middle of nowhere, but it is very nice. We saw a concert in the event center and ate at one of the restaurants. Our room was clean and quiet.

Room was great, very close to a Vegas style room... as much money as casinos make, they really should think about having their own exit, off the interstate, going straight to them..i know they can afford it... for someone who's never been in that area, like me, would get lost, even with gps... street signs are very hard to read at night... if no straight road to them, then they should consider "casino this way" signs, that light up at night..

The room was big and comfortable. Safe would be better up on shelf versus on floor,especially for older people. The casino was way too cold . Not enough food options during casino being open. Hopefully things will be looked into.
