The Scene
Some top-name entertainment come here, too--think Porter Waggonner, Tom Jones and George Jones. The unique stage is in the center of the action, above the main floor, creating a strangely exciting experience.
The Amenities
Attached accommodations are upscale, with 225 rooms. Dine at one of the three restaurants, including a surprisingly good Italian restaurant. There's booze in the casino, a convention center, a pool and video-game facility and child care. You can camp at the increasingly attractive Good Sam RV park, which also has tent sites, or take advantage of cooperative deals with Half Moon Trail resort just 10 minutes away. The mix of games is less exciting. Blackjack, and the usual slots that run from a nickel to a buck. Regular blackjack and slot tournaments sometimes boast free buy-ins; some let you play free for prizes and cash. The Golden Eagle Bingo Lodge lies across the parking lot.
