The other restaurants were nothing special although the prices were. I had to ask for corn and that was met with a strange stare from the server. Come on, most of the cooks are from Mexico or central America, why don't they step up and make it appealing. Street tacos were analogous to eating mushy dog food warmed up a little. The Scorpion bar was ok, selection of tequila was not impressive, but in this state, a lot of the really good stuff is not able to be imported. There is a 'non-smoking' gaming area but it was way off tucked away from a lot of restaurants & main attractions. One very bad overall issue is the smoke that lingers everywhere, worse downstairs in the gaming area, which was the reason I avoided it. Hallways are confusing and it took a while to figure out where the closest elevator is and where it lets you out. A couple bottles of water are provided every day, nice touch.

Rooms were nice, clean, moderate in size and appointed with usual items. This is not Vegas by any means, on the inside or out.

Driving up, there is no mistaking where it is, huge, concrete & glass and not in the least understated. Is it the 'if we build it, they will come' mentality? To begin, I was born and raised in this state, not this area, about 45 minutes away, I know the land and the people. Other than being completely out of scale with the surroundings, I have no idea why someone would put a monstrosity like this in a hugely unpopulated area.
