Attended an event in one of their banquet rooms. When we drove in I was looking for something to photograph but there wasn't anything that caught my eye. The outside wasn't very attention grabbing like other casino hotels that I've been to nor seen: very underwhelming. There was nothing much in the way of landscaping neither. The outdoor parking lot doesn't have large trees to shade your car, so be aware if you're there during the daytime: your car will turn into an oven. They do have valet services available.
You walk through a metal detector when you enter, but at least security personnel are nice and non threatening. I didn't interact with any of the front desk staff because there were directional signs out. They do have free WiFi; but you'll need a password.
The banquet room that we were in was very plain in the way of decor. They did have a raised stage with a large projector screen and some simple colored lights. The linens on the tables were simple and so were the plates, glassware and silverware. The buffet tables were well stocked and replenished quickly except for the appetizers. There was only one server at the buffet table so many of us had to help ourselves. Waiters did the minimal, nothing stood out about the service.
Food was barely warm, guess they forgot to light up the heating element under the food warmers. Usually in the case of buffets, I find A LOT of over cooked mediocre food; but I was surprised to find some soft rolls served with real butter, decent salad with vinaigrette dressing, decent rotisserie chicken, and delicious creme brûlée.
Afterwards, as a true Asian women, my friends and I were looking for spots to take pictures. Hmmmmm, there really wasn't a spot anywhere where we could take any memorable pictures: no gorgeous decor, no fountains, no sculptures nor beautiful artwork. I couldn't comment on the banquet room nor catering costs; but if you're looking for a gorgeous place to host an event, this isn't the place. read more
