Had to walk all the way to the front desk to ask for a wifi password, it’s odd that they don’t have that information on the keycards or in the room. Not the best area to stay in as there were homeless people outside of my room at midnight asking for money.

It's mostly about gambling but I like the fact that it's up in the mountains and that they have preserved some of the original buildings from the mining days!
