8.8/10 Excellent! (3,381 reviews)
The rooms were spacious and it was enjoyable to go downstairs to the casino. We traveled with our children and children are not allowed at the pools. You have to shuttle or walk to the RV area to utilize their pool. While we understand the idea of it, our room was a pool view and hardly any adults utilized the pools. I think if children were allowed or permitted for a specific time frame, revenue would increase and make it easier for families traveling. That said, it wasn’t ideal but we enjoyed the RV pool area as the views were nice.
