“The proximity to the casino is undoubtedly a major draw, maintaining a surprising quietude within the rooms. Service, particularly valet and hotel staff, stands out as exceptionally attentive. While the casino floor offers a robust gaming selection, I found the hotel's dining options during the week to be less compelling, a point worth considering for longer stays.”
