This AMC is relatively easy to get to and there are a number of good food places nearby if you want "dinner and a show." Parking in the very large lot is easy since attendance is low. We have seen a number is shows where the theatre was nearly empty (saw one that was a "private screening"). One complaint: the parking lot needs a serious resurfacing; beware the pot holes and low spots. Service is fine. Limited staff like everywhere, but the job gets done. I can see why some might pass on applying. Here's a story from 2 nights ago. I witnessed an angry customer show why customer service is a deterrent to young, new hires. An old guy gave a young new employee $X.05 to pay for tickets costing $Y.02. Change was to be $Z.03. Totally confused the kid. Why? No one knows how to make change any more because the cash register does the computation. And somehow the cash register didn't tell the kid the change. The old guy went ballistic. Yelling at the kid. Making a scene. Absolutely NO need for that. An older employee at the adjacent register helping us apologized, but the old guy wouldn't hear it--he continued. The adult employee said something like, "It doesn't help the kid by yelling at him." The old guy still went on and then even continued to grumble about it to his wife as we walked into the theater. What a crab (comment edited for publication ). Kudos to the adult employee for standing up for the kid! Concessions are as one would expect. Restrooms could be cleaned more often. Not horrible, but floors get a bit slick with moisture in the men's room. Theaters are nice. The chairs will rock, though this location is not equipped like the newer ones with recliners and with food service. Multiple screens make it easy to find a movie to enjoy. We will go back. Rating:

The general admission floor area gains you an up close and personal experience right up to the stage. Unlike many venues there's even a concession stand near the front area. You can't beat $3 cans of beer at a concert. Of course being a casino there's even a few dozen slot machines within the venue to pass the time while waiting for your act to start. We saw The Struts and they really put on a high energy show. Our tickets were $30 and with that we were within touching distance of the group throughout the show. This was our first venture to Mississippi Moon Bar and the Diamond Jo Casino, and likely will not be our last.

However we were able to get her down there anyway. I almost laughed out loud at their definition of "full". In New Orleans or Philly, this floor would only be considered 2/3 full. There was plenty of room which made it great! The acoustics were quite good. Great sight lines. Staff friendly and drinks cheap. No one was smoking in the music venue, only in the casino itself.
