It was a smaller casino, than what i'm used to. We stayed in the hotel. Our room was very clean and it had a great view of the pool. They have the greatest swimming pool. They have a big lake on the grounds . I enjoyed walking around it.. The place is just awesome. It is definitely off the beaten path but i surely enjoyed the drive. This staff was very friendly inattentive... I would definitely stay there again
