A smaller casino but plenty of games and tables. Room has been recently updated, staff are very friendly.

Jun 25, 2025No customer service and they acted like they were doing me a favor to let me stay there.
Room not ready at 4:00pm, walls are very thin and to top it off, I was asked to leave the casino because I was drinking a soda from lunch that was not from a restaurant in the hotel?! I had brought the same cup in the last two days, but today it wasn’t allowed?!

Not worth it…
The casino is very small, not a great selection of machines. Guy Fiueri’s was disappointing. It used to be good, the Reuben was meh and my fries were ice cold. The staff at the restaurant were dumb, like really dumb. It wasn’t busy at all and they walked around like zombies. The room was fine, but this hotel is very dated. Twice we’ve been and both times the casino was very tight. Between the restaurant and the dated hotel, I won’t be returning. Just not worth it.

May 23, 2025Thin walls
The walls are shockingly thin. The people in the room next to us are having a normal conversation. Not being loud or obnoxious. And we can hear every word. Never experienced anything like this at any other hotel. We have stayed here several times over the past 10 or so years, and this is the second time we've had this issue. We hoped the first time it happened was a fluke, but now believe we've just been lucky in years past and had empty rooms next to ours. While we love the 360 restaurant and will remain customers there, we will never stay here again.

May 18, 2025If the reservation is for 4 guests; at least have 4 bath towels, and 4 coffee cups w/4 coffee pods in the room w/checkin
The room was nice, a 2-queen room riverview room (which did have a view of the river, it was just a little ways away). I booked the room for after our daughter's college graduation, for her, our son (who is 14), my husband and I (so 4 people). My husband is not much of a gambler so was taking our son to Bass Pro Shops and we were going gambling for a little bit with whatever family wanted to come after supper. Even though I reserved the 2 queen room for 3 adults and 1 child, the bathroom only had 2 bath towels, 2 coffee cups, and then 1 regular coffee and 1 decaf coffee (they each only made 1 cup of coffee-not even a little pot of coffee, ONE CUP of coffee). Did they think out of 3 adults only one of us was going to drink a cup of coffee? And out of 4 people, only 2 of us got to take showers/baths after a day of graduation commencement, receptions, dinner and gambling at their casino. The lady that checked us in was very nice and asked if I wanted their AI person to text me updates etc. I said yes. I even signed up for Caesars Rewards. Didnt get a single text from IVY the AI. Then to top it off, after we first checked in and took our bags up to the room, I dropped something, and my son went to pick it up for me and found an earplug and a beer bottle cap under my bed. The entire situation made my husband not want to stay here again.
