SERVICE & TRANSITIONS -- 👍 Great A rustic locals casino with personality. Common spaces were very clean & gave off a heavy desert-plains vibe. A bit eclectic, but also charming & rich with history. Customer service was great over the phone & hospitality inside was awesome. Con: Elevators slow as molasses ROOM (Classic Studio, 1 King Bed) -- 👎 bad kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJa4XqhspdmqhMk A dusty, worn, & neglected accommodation. First impression wasn't a win: overwhelmed by a pungent odor on entry... reminiscent of an old musk 🤢? Double bummer due to the sealed windows & nonexistent ventilation. Chairs felt like deflated tires, well-overdue for a reupholstering or replacement. Outlet distribution was also unproductive (consider bringing an extension cord). BED -- 👎 poor Support was all but depleted from this old spring mattress. Sheets were soft & pillows had fine loft, but the sleep just wasn't... BATH -- 👎 poor Some real effort went into this design, evidenced by the nice tile work & electric mirror fixture. Cleaning standards & basic maintenance are just lacking. The exhaust was caked in dust & the shower turnover was noticeably low-effort. TV/ENT./ACTIVITIES -- 👍 ok A good setup: wall-mounted 55" Samsung HD smart TV. The extra tight mount & TV solution eliminates any additional connectivity/functionality. There was a tremendous amount of dust buildup around as well. The casino is predominately slots & where all the fun awaits. These machines are some of the only machines that still accept + dispense real coins. Pretty cool. A small (motel-size) outdoor pool is also open. WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- 👎 poor Poorly architected with multiple over-lapping networks. I struggled frequently with connecting to these access points. --Performance-- Video streaming - average Online gaming - poor Video chatting - average --Nerd Stats-- 12-17 Mbps download 6-18 Mbps upload 0% packet loss 30 ms latency 30 ms jitter FOOD & DRINK -- 👍 ok DoorDash friendly. Marketing of the prime rib was strong & enticing. Taste on the other hand, was not...: seasoning had potential but the cook was uneven & temperatures were inaccurate. It also looked nothing like the flyer. Not worth the 13.99 (dine-in) or $24 (takeout) sticker. Snack & drink machines have good inventory & were fully stocked on every floor. in-room: ❌ microwave ✅ mini-fridge (large) ✅coffee ❌ teapot ❌ wet-bar ❌ mini-bar NOISE -- 👎 bad No real privacy with these acoustics. LOCATION -- In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by trailers. Not much of a "destination" by design. RECOMMENDATION & RATING Final price: $93.29/night Was it worth it: no Best part: price More roomy than a big brand casino hotel & strong on hospitality. Cleaning standards & maintenance have much room for improvement. Underwhelming. 3/5 ⭐ @mrstaycation
