  • 10 dining options include Chris Scarduzio's Steakhouse and Sushi Lounge, the Foundation Room, Johnny Rockets, Casa di Napoli and Starbucks

Good price for students

I came there with couples of my friends for my 21st. This place is OK. The place is a bit run down. The door was sticky and there was no house keeping during my stays (2 nights).Given the price I paid, this is somewhat expected... The casino staffs were really nice and helpful.
