Cindy M.

[659] Visited this Harrah's location a few time and was not disappointed. The racetrack was closed the day I visited so not sure how popular or cool it is but I can say the seats were great as they are not on top of each other. There are a few restaurants which I did not try (yet). They have a Starbucks. There are overpriced ATMs in the building ($6 fee). Plenty of free offstreet parking. The place is not huge but it's big enough that you won't have an issue grabbing a table or machine. They have a self serve soda machine. There is a VIP section for Diamond members. I'll definitely be back.

Dead Sea Squirrels!
Valerie S.

We're not big gamblers, so we've only been to Harrah's three times since it opened. When it first opened years ago, we went solely to play the slots. We didn't go again until last month, when we went to a concert in the Block (way back behind all the slots) that friends of ours were playing at (Dead Sea Squirrels!). We went again last week for an event at Guy Fieri's Philly Kitchen & Bar and had a really nice dinner there. Our experience at Harrah's has been just fine. Each time, we've been able to park right on the first level of the parking garage which works out for us. It seems pretty clean to me and there's a ton of staff around. My only complaint would be the signage out front - if you're not careful, you'll end up at the prison. It's very dark back in there and Harrah's could use a more dramatic entrance. Maybe there's another entrance at the other end and we're coming in the back way? I don't know - it could definitely use some oomph either way.

It was NYE and my sister and I decided to go to Harrah's to possibly win us some New Years money, well that didn't happen for the both of us, actually it was kind of a bust at this casino on that day. The casino is very large and it also has a spacious parking lot. I first noticed that the outside of the casino is not as pretty, eye catching and colorful like the Sugar house or Parx nonetheless I figured we was gonna have us a good time regardless cause that's how we get down lol! The pro's of this casino is that everyone seems to effectively abide by the separated sections and it wasn't a big ole smokefest like the Sugar house. The smokers were in the smoking section and the non smoking section was what it was, non smoking!! They also had a variety of food options which was also a plus. The cons of the evening was the ATM machine that didn't work during the time we were there, I actually came prepared with cash on hand, however my sister tried over 10 times to get her money out and was unable to. We then talked to a security guard who informed to us that all the machines were currently down. Wow how all the machines are going to be down on the day that makes the most money. Boy were their some upset people at the casino that day Overall I rate it three stars because it would've been a better time if the ATM machines worked.

The worst Tito's drink ever
Sherry J.

We came here for the racing. The bar was closed and the only thing available was the Tito's bar outside. Normally I would be fine with that except the "featured" Tito's drink was disgusting. It came from a hose and tasted like lemon water, 2 for $18. There was no flavor and no Tito's for sure. We got the rest of our drinks upstairs at Guy's for $8 each and worth every penny.

Gin Blossoms at the Block
Michelle P.

As a very casual gambler, I didn't think there's much reason for me to visit Harrah's Chester. I typically associate my casino experiences with the beach town of AC or the strip of Vegas. A Gin Blossoms concert at the music venue, the Block, was my recent draw. I'll go into more detail in that review, however it was an intimate venue and a stress free general admission experience. Tim Williams did an acoustic set outside of the Block near one of their bars until about 1am. Killer performance but random environment of post concert goers and casino regulars. Unfortunately, we ran out of time to try the Guy Fieri spot and ended up eating sandwiches in the Market. Inexpensive but nothing special. There were a ton of slots and tables. If that's your thing, it is a good reason to visit. There's no hotel so everyone needs to find a safe way home. It's nice that parking is free. I'd go back for another concert or special event, but was otherwise unimpressed.

First trip and will not be the last trip. When we return to Philly we will visit this place. I am not a big smoker so stay away from the smoking section if you are not a smoker. Other than that had a lot of fun.

What you will find at the Temptations Buffet
Evan G.

I'll start with the positives: Ample and convenient parking, acceptable decor, generally clean atmosphere. Now for the laundry list of negative. This casino has no cocktail waitresses and no free alcoholic drinks. There is a chuck-e-cheese style free soda machine, but that is as far as the complimentary service goes. At least at chuck-e-cheese you get prizes for all the money you dump into the machines. At Harrah's Chester you get second hand smoke. The machines seem tighter than AC or Vegas. I'm not sure what payback percentage the machines are set at, but it seems like they are all set at state minimum. The casino is located in a slum next to a state prison. You can't fault Harrah's for that, but it is certainly a negative. The Temptations Buffet is the worst buffet I have ever been to in my entire life. What better way to celebrate losing $50 in 20 minutes than a chafing dish of what looks like lukewarm excrement? See photos. Thankfully, this buffet is not indicative of all Harrah's buffets. Harrah's Waterfront Buffet in AC is excellent.

I had a hard time finding an acceptable hotel in the Philadelphia area. The hotels I looked at…read moreeither had questionable reviews or were more than I wanted to pay. Then I found the Valley Forge Casino Resort. I would stay here again. The hotel was very clean. The sink was outside of the bathroom and the tub and toilet were a little cramped. We had issues with the TV and couldn't get anything the last night we were there. Although the hotel met our needs, it wasn't built for family vacationers. (The again it is a casino hotel). There is no business center. If you want a microwave for your room, it is a $35 upcharge. Also, there needed to be at least 1 more trash can in the room. The ice machines on some floors weren't working and one of the machines had an off taste. One advantage to the hotel is that there is a bus stop on the street outside our parking lot. We took the bus into town the days we went into town. The hotel is also near a large shopping mall.

I only visited the casino twice which I will not make any future visits. I showed up today at 10AM…read moreto cash in my scratch offs. I was busy viewing my tickets when I mistakenly when to the table area. I heard that I wasn't supposed to be in the area. So, I looked up to see who mentioned that to me. I said ok to the female worker with the same energy that was given to me. I asked her how I suppose to get the cashier area because of the area closed off (the cashier department is right behind the tables). Two seconds the supervisor in that area came in my space and barked at me to get out of his area (description- tall, Caucasian, short shaggy gray hair, with black frame glasses). He raised his hand to put it on me; that's when I moved to the side and told him not touch me. I started to get upset because I feel like he was trying to bully me out the area. I told him that he didn't need to disrespect me at all that the other working already told me that could not be in that area. So, he told me that I see you not leaving my area. No, that you need to calm down and talk to me with respect. He mentioned to get security and that's when I said to go and get them. I mentioned to get his supervisor as well and that's when he told that he was the supervisor. That's when I see the supervisor for the whole casino. He push me out of the area by using the casino rope. I then push the rope back towards him after his physical contact with me. Two security officers came to the area. I explained them my side of the story. I didn't get a good vibe from the taller security guard. I let them know how I felt about the situation. Both officers told me that they were going to view the cameras and for me to view the cameras. Even though I didn't have a good feeling with that one security officer I still wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I went and cashier to scan my scratch offs and explained them what happened to me. The tall security officer escort to the table director. I explained to her want happen to me. I sense that she was going to take this matter seriously. She mentioned that she was going to talk him about (he was standing at the side with that security officer). I was curious and ask the tall security officer (description- tall, Caucasian, bald headed, with a gray beard). I told me that the supervisor didn't touch me. I was asking questions about the footage. He told that I wasn't authorized to know was on the camera. He that the supervisor could have press charges for me him. I've mentioned that I can do the same with that supervisor being that he pushed me with the rope. He told me that I can try but it would not go nowhere. By that security officer not being neutral (which I wasn't surprised) had confirmed my suspicions. He then told me not to put words in his mouth. He also mentioned that he wasn't going to go-back-and forth me. He told me that I need to get my tickets and leave. I asked him what's his supervisor name. The officer told me that information. After I wrote down on my phone that's when I left the casino. I'm a disabled veteran. This experience was not only horrible, but I could have hurt myself with the physical contact that the table supervisor made with me. I would advise patrons to find another casino for entertainment. It's not worth spending money on an establishment that is aggressive and disrespectful to their patrons.

Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia was not initially on my radar for a stay while in Philadelphia…read morefor the Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run, a 10-mile race that stretches south along Broad Street. While I loved the Expedia flight + hotel package price, I had mixed feelings about booking at this specific hotel. On one hand, it is perfectly located near the finish line and offers a Peloton bike in its fitness center. However, on the other hand, I was hesitant about having a casino attached, fearing it might attract a crowd I was not interested in being around. My experience with the front desk staff was nothing less than professional. Since my room was already booked through Expedia, check-in consisted of a quick verification of my information, a brief overview of amenities, and receiving my room keys. For reference, check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. Upon entering my room, I immediately thought, "This is gorgeous!" The design and color scheme appeared very professional, and the furniture--along with the headboard lighting--added a nice touch. Looking out the window, I had a view of the area, including the Walt Whitman Bridge in the distance, which connects Pennsylvania to New Jersey. In the shower, there were Terra Green liquid products attached to the wall. I particularly enjoyed the lotion and the shampoo/conditioner, which had a lovely scent and made showering very pleasant. Throughout my travels, I have noticed that hotels have largely done away with the small complimentary toiletries, so I appreciated having high-quality options. The shower featured a sliding door, providing privacy, and everything in the bathroom was very presentable, even the toilet paper, which was branded with the 'Live! Casino & Hotel' logo. Along with those features, the room met my high standards for cleanliness. I had no issues getting comfortable in the king-sized bed, with my head perfectly supported by the comfortable pillows. I truly enjoyed the water pressure in the shower; it was soothing and felt great after the race. While it did not have multiple spray patterns, I loved the pressure it had. Other room amenities I noticed included an iron, ironing board, a safe, a Nespresso coffee maker, a mini-refrigerator, and lamps with USB ports and AC plugins. Additionally, the Wi-Fi was easy to connect to, and I experienced zero connectivity issues. I really loved being able to cast my smartphone to the television, allowing me to resume a movie I had been watching on YouTube prior to my stay. Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia, as expected, has an exceptionally beautiful interior. As a fitness enthusiast, having an on-site fitness center was great, as it allowed me to keep up with my routines. I was pleased to see several dumbbell weights, medicine balls, kettlebells, a very nice selection of workout machines, a Cybex fitness bike, and a Peloton bike. I absolutely enjoyed using the Peloton, especially with the lovely Robin Arzon as my instructor, who put my legs through a challenging low-impact workout. If you are looking to visit the city for sporting events, Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia sits conveniently near Citizens Bank Park, and Lincoln Financial Field. Or, if you are looking for a way to get to downtown Philadelphia, the hotel is less than a mile away from the SEPTA NRG Station, which is an accessible way to get downtown with only a few stops in between. Another thing I loved is that the hotel is easy to spot from over a mile away due to its exterior, which made it easy for me to find after finishing the Broad Street Run. I would surely book Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia again, as it met my comfort needs, and I love the fact that its location is highly accessible to points of interest in Philadelphia. ~ Be obsessively grateful. ~ Thomas G

This casino is one of six Seminole Casinos in the state of Florida. In fact, the Seminole Tribe…read moreowns and operates 6 of the 7 tribal casinos in Florida, with the Miccosukee Tribe owning just 1 casino (in Miami -Dade County). Originally opened in a small red barn in 1980, as one of the Seminole Tribe's first casinos, it's presently a 27,000-square-foot casino with over 400 Las Vegas style slot machines, high-stakes bingo, and a full service restaurant and lounge. It is one of the largest employers in Glades County with more than 210 dedicated employees. Even though this is the oldest and smallest of their Casinos, I found it to be clean, well maintained, and the air quality was excellent. The employees that I interacted with were warm, friendly, professional, and helpful. This particular Saturday afternoon the place was packed and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The favorites were the slot machines, but also the majority of seats were taken at the game tables. BTW, $10 game tables on a Saturday afternoon is a pretty good deal. The adjoining Bingo Room (about the size of a small grade school gymnasium) was packed with mainly our senior players. Down the road a couple of miles construction is presently underway to replace this Casino with a new casino-hotel which will feature a nearly 38,000-square-foot casino, 623 slot machines and 18 tables for blackjack, baccarat and other house-banked card games. Included in the total number of slot machines will be 101 in a smoke-free gaming space and a high-limit area with 42 slot machines and four table games - all this sitting on a new 75-acre site with a 10-acre lake and parking for 1,000 vehicles. Original plans were for the new Casino to open in late 2024, and the subsequent closing of the existing one, however I have read where it now may be sometime in 2025. Make it a point to visit here soon, I think you'll have a good time. Then return again to check out the new one when it opens. I'm looking forward to it.

One Star - Not Worth the Drive or the Price…read more My recent weekend stay at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Brighton Bay was incredibly disappointing. While the hotel is brand new and the rooms were clean, nearly every other part of the experience fell flat. The food at both EE-TO-LEET-KE Grill and Josiah's Steakhouse was overpriced and bland. My wife reserved us a dinner at Josiah's, and what we received was far from what we expected. The garlic mashed potatoes had no garlic--just plain mashed potatoes. My wife's asparagus was soggy and thrown into a bowl without care (see photo). For a steakhouse, the quality and presentation were underwhelming. The only highlight of the entire weekend was a latte from Constant Grind. The casino itself is tiny. You can walk the entire gaming floor in under 10 minutes. With all the land they have, it's surprising how small they made the space. They had only four Phoenix Link machines--one of the most popular slot games nationwide. Very disappointing for a Hard Rock property. Now for my biggest frustration: I had originally booked a comp stay at Hard Rock Bristol in Virginia by mistake. Realizing it before leaving, I canceled that reservation and booked Brighton Bay instead. When I arrived, I explained the honest error to the front desk and was told it might be possible to honor the comp depending on how I played that weekend. By checkout, the front desk had no notes, claimed they couldn't help, and handed me a pamphlet with an 800 number. I called, only to be told I needed to speak to a host--after I had already left and was on the road home. So, despite spending thousands at Hard Rock properties, they couldn't honor a $400 stay because of their own lack of communication. This hotel may be new, but with poor food, poor communication, and poor customer service, it's hard to see it thriving long-term unless major changes are made. Locals might be fine with it, but for anyone traveling more than two hours, it's just not worth it. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this location to others.

Instead of answering what should have been a very basic question, I was told that I needed to "bring my tone down."

I called back and, unbelievably, had another similarly unprofessional experience. I again asked to speak with a supervisor, but they were unable or unwilling to connect me with one. I was simply trying to find out the rate for a room. It should not be this difficult. If a potential customer becomes frustrated because they cannot get a straightforward answer, lecturing them about their tone rather than addressing the problem is not customer service. Hanging up on someone who asks for a supervisor is even more concerning. In a way, I'm glad this happened before I booked a room because it gave me a very clear indication of the level of customer service I could expect. I will absolutely take my business elsewhere and will not stay at this property.
