    Had prime rib dinner. It resembled bubble gum. Cold Potatoes. Dirty dinnerware. Waitress delivered food and didn't come back until she gave bill.

    The food was delicious and warm, the server was extremely nice. She made sure our water was full and asked if we wanted more coffee. Highly recommend

    I did not realize that it was inside the casino. We had to listen to the dings of the slot machines through our dining. Things were wrong in our order as well and I think the noise level played a factor.

    We make reservations here when we stay at the hotel for a show of some kind. The food is really good and really fresh. The place is a bit loud, but you are already outside the casino, so I'm not sure that matters. They have a decent menu, and the portions are nice. The service is okay but not great. But I suspect they are always short-staffed.

    We decided to go earlier this trip and arrived at 3:30pm. It was much less busy and had no trouble getting in and seated with not a lot of other diners. The food arrived quickly and was as great as expected.

    Would have rated higher but the server messed up our Chinese food order the Casino dinner. We ordered it for 3 and it took forever to come out and when we got it it was only for 2 people. When I know I said for 3. She said she messed up. Did give us our 3 rd order after but it took forever to come out as well. And was disappointed she did not give us a little discount on our bill. Food was good when we did finally get it.
