about once a year since it get free rooms there. The casino seems to
be much dirtier than it use to be and the video poker machines have
old screens that are burned in. On a positive note, they still have a
good selection of video poker that is full pay. Wouldn't mind
switching to a different casino in Vegas, but not sure which one to
switch to since i'm not a "high roller".
Since I'm in SoCal, I find the Indian Casinos here are pretty good and
don't feel like driving to Vegas as much anymore.
