We later found out they were not giving away the Jeep that night and swiping the card provided entry forms to enter for a chance to win it. Since this casino is not close to home, we only came to hear the live band called The Normals playing. The stage has a small walkway/dance floor in front and then raised seating for booths and tables and chairs for the eating area. Glad we arrived earlier as there was one table with 4 chairs left. A few chairs had jackets so I'm assuming people were saving the tables. The menu has a combination of Chinese food, sandwiches, appetizers, and the special of the night was prime rib for $10.99. With the Player's card you can get a 10% coupon so the prices are quite reasonable. The drink menu has cocktails for reasonable prices too. Most of the slot machines were busy that night and and there were a few spots at each card table. I didn't gamble as the highlight was the band and we danced, ate, and drank during our 5 hours there. Not my favourite casino or layout but we had fun.

Well I can say I've…read morenever eaten turkey except for home cooking so I didn't know what to expect, pleasantly surprised. A slice of white and dark meat, real mashed potatoes, homestyle dressing, fresh veg (cauliflower, carrots, green beans, zucchini-cooked perfectly) plus cranberry sauce, gravy was perfect. Service was fast and friendly. I'll say it was a delightful Sunday dinner. They also have a nice variety of other comfort food including stew, fish and chips, burgers and the beef dip was good as well. There's a prime rib night on Thursdays which we plan on trying sometime.

Poker Chicks is a travelling poker training party for women. We used them for a recent corporate…read moreevent held in a private room at a local restaurant. They first taught us the basics of Texas Hold'em and then led a tournament for our guests. Nothing like learning by doing in a risk free environment. They bring in the standard dealer tables and all the trainers are well trained casino dealers. Our group of 40 was comfortably accommodated. They created an authentic environment for our beginners tournament. Our guests loved it. The only surprise of the night was that guests couldn't put their glasses or dishes on the tables, and there weren't quite enough extra tables to set down the treats for the evening. A small hiccup in an otherwise perfect event. I highly recommend this organization for home parties or networking events.

Review: John @ Starlight Casino (Thursday Night)…read more Okay, can we talk about John for a second? Because I hit the Starlight this past Thursday and honestly, finding a bartender who can actually keep up with my energy is like finding a flight deal to Tokyo for $400--rare, beautiful, and slightly miraculous. John is absolute chaos in the best way possible. The man was moving faster than I do when I hear "final boarding call" at the airport. I watched him handle a drink order that sounded like a chemistry dissertation while simultaneously nodding along to some guy's very loud, very wrong life story. The level of "professional hostage-taker" patience he has is truly a gift. (Tru story); At one point, I'm pretty sure he made three drinks, grabbed a fresh bowl of limes, and cracked a joke that had the whole bar wheezing, all without breaking eye contact with the shaker. If that isn't worth a massive raise, I don't know what is. Seriously, pay the man more before I decide to pack him in my suitcase and take him on my next solo trip as a personal hydration specialist. John is the literal jackpot of this casino. 10/10, no notes, give him all the money. See you next Thursday!

The plate looked rather plain but the fries were hot and crispy, My steak, though slightly overdone, was tender and juicy. It had a lot of flavour and I suspect was marinated for a long time beforehand. There was a serving of garlic mayo on the plate which I assume was for the fries (and that is what I used as a dip at any rate). I don't think I would come here as a dining destination, but I would eat here again if I was going to another show, simply because of the convenience and reasonable prices.

My husband had the prime rib which was the better of the two meals. Prime rib wasn't really flavourful and the veggies were underdone. Mine was the beef dip. I found it dry. Really dry. Fries were nothing special either. The prime rib was on special, and so I would say that was afordable. However for the quality i had for the sandwich it was poor value for the money. Probably will not eat here again.

My companion really like the thick Texas bread with the Monte Cristo and he enjoyed the crispy fries. While we were dining and a live band started to play it ruined our experience because it was extremely loud so we were screaming at each other. On top of that the band was racing through the song, drowning out the lead singer which seems he wasn't comfortable singing.

Ahhhhhh, who am I kidding....NO I would not return nor recommend. Not good value for money. Salad was good, even if warm.
