The entire place is smoke-free, which is awesome! We didn't have to worry about stinking when we left. Myself and my 19 yr old daughter went twice over the weekend. I felt relatively safe except for the few idiots that seem they are immune to everything and do not wear masks in the room areas. The Covid-19 precautions are good here, using infrared temp scans at entrances and Purell sanitizers everywhere. Would I recommend this place? Yes, as long as non-smoking is in place.
I actually had good luck here and hit a handpay, and I seen others winning also. I could still smell the smoke residue in the old casino area but nowhere to the point you have to throw your clothes away! The new casino addition is very nice along with The Landing and Creekside dining. Would I pay extra for the bayview room? No, it is quite away from the resort property and over the tree line, I would probably prefer the other side because I assume it is quieter.
I have a great impression now, is this the same place? The hotel is beautiful, much nicer that Soaring Eagle. I have not been to this casino since before the hotel had opened and I never cared for the place before, it always seem crowded and the smoke was unbearable. Just got back from a free comped Bay-View King room at Saganing.
