The drive is long so bring your snacks. The casino is located close to the border so you will not really have much views. We arrived early morning around 9 am and it was very quiet and hardly people. I enjoyed that I was able to walk around to the different machines and just take my time. Plenty of machines for everyone. They have a Cafe for those who are light eaters and several restaurants if you are wanting a bigger meal. Ate at the buffet and was disappointed with the food. There wasn't much of a variety to choose from. They do offer a hotel if you are wanting to stay longer. Then towards lunch time it got loud and crowded. The air in the casino got bad due to all the cigarette smoke. I did not enjoy that had to walk around just to get away from smokers. Bring a light jacket because it does get a little cold. Fun place to enjoy if you go in the mornings.
