Gaming review
Casino Experience
The casino is the property’s most energetic area, with a broad mix of slots, live table games and poker. The floor is designed for extended evening visits rather than a quiet boutique atmosphere.
Game variety: The casino floor offers classic and current slot formats alongside
blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps and poker.
Atmosphere: Music, lighting and nearby bars create a lively setting that will appeal
most to social casino visitors.
Practical access: Hotel guests can move between their room, dining venues and casino
access points without leaving the resort.
