I used to live in Northeast PA and remember when Mohegan PA first opened. Back then, it was the…read morebiggest thing to hit Wilkes-Barre/Scranton since the invention of HBO. Seriously, it was a big deal. The casino launched without a hotel, but over the years, it expanded, adding a hotel, more restaurants, and other amenities. For those first few years, this place was hopping--run like a well-oiled machine thanks to Bobby Soper, always clean, always busy, and a solid selection of restaurants and bars to enjoy between donating to the Mohegan tribe. Fast forward to now, and wow... what a fall from grace. I stopped by a few times on a recent trip, and Mohegan PA is barely a shell of what it used to be. First glaring issue? No valet parking. Why? I'm sure they'll blame COVID, but come on--at least bring it back on weekends when the place is actually busy. Speaking of busy, unless you're here on a Friday or Saturday night, the casino is a ghost town. During the week, I could have done cartwheels through the aisles without disturbing a soul. But come Saturday? It's so packed you can't even find an open machine to play. The extremes are wild. And those slot machines... yikes. I swear this must be where all the old, retired machines from their other casinos come to spend their final days. The games are outdated, some displays have screen burn-in, and several machines have broken buttons. There are even sections where machines have just been removed, leaving empty spaces with stanchions. It looks neglected. Food & Drink? Hit or miss. The buffet? Gone--another casualty of COVID, I assume. The Irish bar? Dead every time I walked by. The food court? It felt like stepping into a deserted 90s mall--bleak and lifeless. Unless you're planning to splurge at Ruth's Chris or Rustic Kitchen, your dining options are... well, depressing. Oh, and speaking of depressing - the plants in the planters outside Ruth's Chris... they're dead. Literally. And let's talk about the center bar experience. One evening, I stopped for a quick drink before a dinner reservation, and the bar was a cluttered mess. When the bartender finally emerged, I was greeted with an uninspired "What do you need?" Clearly, she wasn't thrilled to be working, and honestly, I can't blame her given the tumbleweed-level traffic in there. After visiting, I now understand why this place is dead mid-week. Mohegan PA is nothing like its former self. Living in South Florida, I frequent the Hard Rock casinos, and let me tell you, those absolutely blow this place away--newer machines, better game variety, cleaner spaces, solid food and drink options. If Bobby Soper walked in today, he'd cry.

I've often ordered a cheese and fruit platter for the room and it was great as they put the platter in our fridge. The rooms are always fresh, well cleaned and well stocked. Once, we did an early arrival and had to wait 10 minutes while the Housekeeping Supervisor inspected the room to ensure it was ready. (we appreciated that!) The beds are firm and comfortable. The walk-in shower with body wash, shampoo and conditioner dispensers is a plus as you can leave all that at home. 2nd, The Casino offers a wide variety of slots and table games (we prefer slots). Drinks are not free, but they constantly come around for orders. Bottled water is free. 3rd, depending on the day of the week, there is a variety of food choices.

The check in staff were courteous, helpful and professional. Lisa at the front desk handled my check in and she was superb! The hotel lobby has been fully renovated. (From what others have told me). I booked in advance and chose the new tower. The room was beautiful. Theres light switch lights by the door to control lighting in the room as well as "privacy" and "maid service". The ac/heat control panel comes with most newer rooms and are a plus! The bed was a bit on the softer side but most likely a 'soft firm'. There are 4 pillows and they were just right and adequate. There are reading lights on both side of the beds. Keurig machine with a coffee bar, 2 bottles of water,a refrigerator, widescreen tv and a safe. All handy. There's a pouch of toiletries in the bathroom and since it was a double queen 2 sets of toiletries were included. The bathroom was nice. For the most part a nice room and I had a great stay. Now the areas of improvement. First the bathroom, the toilet paper holder was either loose or defective as the toilet paper kept falling g off! So the end that opens up I had to sit upright in order to avoid further falling. There was a slight smell of smoke in the bathroom from the vents...maybe they should've spaced out the smoking/nonsmoking rooms better. Either that or the ventilation system needs to be looked into. The tower is brand new so why am I experiencing that? The shower floor seems slippery dry as I stepped in...be careful stepping in! When I used it later it was okay. But kinda weird that a non slip shower floor felt slippery when dry. The towels although fluffy and 'clean' left small lint after drying off and I don't they washed them first.. What I mean is they literally bought new towels and didn't wash them before guest use. I wash everything when it comes to clothing, towels, blankets prior to use. The next thing is there is not enough outlets for the new iPhones (c type) but plenty of usb throughout the room. The alarm clock was the only one that had the newer type but since it seemed to not be plugged into the wall (I couldn't get behind the heavy bedside desk to check) I had to request another clock/plug. Remember to bring your own wall outlet adapter! I forgot mine. These is my experience staying at WindCreek Bethlehem resort hotel. Mostly great but needs improvements. I recommend staying here. I wanted to post this to help others.

TLDR: Amateur casino with unhealthy obsession with baccarat to the detriment of every other game…read more Pit bosses oblivious to nearly everything except for what's directly in front of them. Good dealers. Where to start? First things first, came here as a traditional MGM property player. Looking to match my rewards tier, the Wind Creek website says they match mgm gold to their "escape" tier. Making my way to the cage, I'm told they'll only match the highest and invite-only tiers from mgm. I had to start from scratch with their rewards, pretty much killing any reason to bother with the casino off the bat. For gambling, I typically stick to table games. Pai Gow is my jam. Walking the casino floor, they had a grand total of one Pai Gow table, every seat taken, yet to even be opened. Yet they had a dealer, cards, and tray ready to go. Talking to the lucky few at the table, they said they'd been waiting for an hour. Asking the dealer if they would open another table, I was told they didn't have enough dealers for it. Oh, and there's was zero indication of whether it was face up or face down Pai Gow. Trying to ask the two pit bosses in the area any questions was a losing battle, they kept their faces down and only addressed the immediate task in front of them. As an added bonus, most casinos put their Asian table games near the Asian style restaurants. This place puts them on nearly opposite sides of the casino. Continuing to walk the floor. I noticed six to eight tables dedicated to Pai Gow Tiles. Definitely a strange ratio of tiles to "normal" Pai Gow, opposite of AC and Vegas. Then, there's the 1/3 of the entire casino floor, not just tables area I mean entire floor, dedicated to Baccarat despite moderate at best player count. Going forward there were three Three Card Poker tables, only one of which was open and full. One Let It Ride which was closed. The rest were flavors of blackjack, craps, and roulette. Eventually, they opened another Three Card Poker table. I sat to play, only to have the shuffler start dealing out for a completely different game (criss cross). I resigned myself to playing Blackjack. Nearly the entire time I was just scratching my head trying to figure out why they were doing what they doing. Almost as if mgmt had never seen a real casino before. I would give just a single star, but the dealers were nice and friendly enough. The one bright spot of an otherwise sad visit.

I prefer the casino just down the road. Have to say I did enjoy the places I ate at there. There was a bar near the poker room. I ate there twice. It was really good. The staff there was great.

I'm also 1-for-1 in food, but I did play it safe with a Chicken Garden Salad. Up until this trip, Hollywood Casinos that I have visited on my travels have been average at best. They're usually in areas where the competition is kicking their ass, the casino is relatively unkempt, and it's just not a great vibe. However, this property is the complete opposite. It's kind of awesome. It's super clean, the staff is great, and the patrons seem friendly and respectful. It reminds me a lot of Harrah's Cherokee--including many locals that recognize each other. At Cherokee (NC), you get about 50% tourists and 50% locals. That's due to being surrounded by big cities within 2-4 hours yet still in the mountains. Here, I would assume it's closer to 80% locals. This probably plays into the chill and friendly vibe. One thing I have noticed on my travels (this is poker room #118), outside of Vegas, most people know each other at every casino. An added bonus, is that they had a local band and a DJ last night (DJ between sets) and everyone was having a good time. I sat there and watched people dance and appreciated the good energy. I have some darkness to me but I really appreciate these moments where people are happy and enjoying themselves. It allows me to tune-in to my good side. Really really good vibes here with that dance floor. If I were to point out a negative, it's the $7 and $8 beers. This is simply greed. At Harrah's Cherokee (my home court for poker), you can get a $5 Landshark beer. It's not the best beer, but it allows you to walk around and enjoy a beer. Since the beers here were $7 and $8, I stopped drinking and consumed nothing for the last three hours I was there. The casino would make more money with a low-price beer option. The price points are a little too high for maximizing profit anyway. They are only hurting themselves. Almost every casino has at least one negative. But overall, this is a really cool spot and definitely recommended!

We attended the Rick Springfield concert last night. We were so excited and purchased the pre show…read moreparty buffet for $25 each. It was talked up stating there would be a dj, signature cocktail, appetizer type snacks on the buffet and give aways. First of all it wasn't clear where this was being held because the concert venue is separate outside from where this is served. Not being there before and this described as skybox-we initially thought it was part of the concert venue. It WAS NOT. This is a huge complex and the signage is very lacking. We thought once we parked we would be good to go for the rest of the night. Once we figured out where the "skybox" was inside the second floor of the casino-we had to check in. I printed our tix and had them on my phone wallet. The print outs directly from Ticketmaster were no good and considered screenshots to them. HUGE PROBLEM if you don't have a smart phone or if the system was down. Other people that we were with said that they were having a hard time having their ticket scanned on their phone because the Wi-Fi at the casino was poor.. my friend specifically asked about the giveaways because there was a wheel there to spin and we didn't know if we were supposed to spin it ahead of time or what the deal was and the guy told my friend that they would be making announcements and calling names for the giveaways that never happened the entire time that we were there. We got there at 3:30 and the party was from 2 to 6.. when we walked in there was a DJ but he left at 4 o'clock. When my friend asked about the signature cocktail, the waitress seemed confused at first and made a statement that she didn't know if there was any left or if they needed to make more come to find out that it was just a regular cocktail that they make like any other cocktail there wasn't anything that was premade or anything so we weren't sure why she even made that comment. The buffet was decent for what it was described to be, but it definitely wasn't worth the $25 apiece that we spent. It was hot dogs, walking tacos, some pulled chicken, soft pretzel sticks and some cookies. We didn't see any other drinks so I did go up to the bar to ask if I could order a soda and the lady did tell me that there was no charge for the soda, but I wouldn't have known that had I not asked.. when it was time to go down for the concert. One of the people downstairs was nice enough to tell us that we were better off leaving our car in the parking garage and taking the shuttle that they offer to and from the venue, so that part was good, but before that when we couldn't figure out where the buffet in the sky box was, we were driving around and couldn't figure out where we were supposed to park and we ended up going down this one street again there was no signs telling us where to go we're not to go and we ended up going down this road and when we got down there, we were greeted by someone in an orange vest who also seemed very confused so she ended up getting someone on the walkie-talkie who told her to call someone over and parking which really confused us because we thought that she was with parking so she directed us to go out and turn around and go down this other street and we told her that we were down that way, and there was cones blocking off the parking spaces saying that the lot was closed where we were supposed to park so that was what let us back up to the casino and we only knew to go there because I ended up typing it into AI and it was what told us to go back to the casino that that was where the sky box buffet was no one at the venue was able to tell us that. So once we got the shuttle, ironically, it dropped us off exactly where we were when we encountered the lady with the vest earlier. Once we were inside the actual Penn heroes Stadium that itself was awesome. It was set up perfectly and we had wonderful seats, but just trying to figure out the semantics of getting in there and getting set up was a nightmare.. I would not spend the extra money for the sky box buffet. Save your money and spend it somewhere else.
