First trip to the new permanent casino today (had been to the temporary one 3 times before). It's a 2-hour trip for us from OH and worth every minute. I was impressed with the temporary casino, but this one is going to be hard to top. There were lots and lots of people there--and yet I could find machines to play on and rarely had to wait to use my "favorites." I also enjoyed trying some of the newer games that I wasn't familiar with.
I love the fact that there are so many low-denomination machines--for us "poor folk" who just want to have a little fun. We can play a long time on very little $. Had lunch at the Terrace Cafe, and we loved the view overlooking the racetrack which happened to be racing today. Had a $5 coupon as a promotion for lunch, so it virtually paid for lunch.
I had one machine that wasn't functioning, and I did have trouble locating an attendant (the machine wouldn't give me my voucher!). It finally blinked, and I quickly punched the Cash Out button again, and it finally spit it out. However, I never was able to find an attendant. There were a number of waitpersons all over the casino offering drinks all day, and they were very attentive.
The restrooms were clean and tended to regularly. Unless I didn't find them all, there would be a few more (and the ones I did find--the Men's and Women's were reversed from the other one; i.e., Men on the right, Women on the left at one restroom site; Women on the right, Men on the left at the other. In five minutes, I watched 5 people go into the wrong restroom! Small thing, as we should all be able to read, but it obviously is an issue of that many people make the same mistake in a short period of time.
It's a beautiful casino. It would be nice if they had a hotel with pool(s) at the site, but I understand the need for a parking deck instead of a hotel.
