TURNING STONE WITH RON I have not always liked Turning Stone as a place to play poker. In limit there are only 2-4 games and generally only one table with the same regulars. These folks are very tight. ...

I have had this casino on my list for three trips now and finally I decided to give it a go. It was easier to get to on the old HDX bus route, but the BHX will get there in 49 minutes. It is...

Folks may not know it, but you can use the coupon in the American Casino Guide for a Cabana room at the El Cortez. The smallest size is just $51 with the coupon for two weekday nights. The larger ones are a few dollars more. Solo the...

I had stayed last at Harrah's, but wanted this time to be on the boardwalk and I was happy that I did that. The location was much better and in Atlantic City parking the car once and then not moving it is the cheapest alternative. I like some...

Since the Gold Coast is the featured casino in Scott Krause's review this week, I thought I'd add a few things from my last trip that he missed. First, the bad news. They have increased the resort fee which adds $11.40 a night to the booked rate. ...

I spent a day playing live poker and a 9-5 DDB video poker I found right outside the poker room. I like this casino. I like the decor. It really develops Native American ideas and themes. The buffet was just delicious. I especially liked...

I see Westie and I share the same interest in this casino. I like staying here when Sam's Town does not beat the price with comps. Monday night I love the Claudine Castro Latin music in the lounge, 10 to 2am and am happy to have a room...

Tower rooms are the same as those well touted rooms at the Orleans. Pavillion rooms are more basic but mine were all renovated and fine. You can't beat the prices or the comps after a little play. I get 2 free rooms and can...

This is the best casino in Vegas with the nicest standard rooms, good service, fine food. Unfortunately the new owers have decided to kill the good gambling. Video poker is being decimated. The future is uncertain, but a great place to stay for...

Not in the best downtown location. Full of folks from lower economic classes. But a hidden gem of gambling opportunities. Single deck 3:2 Blackjack, pehaps the only such game left in Vegas. $3 craps with 10 X odds. Good video poker. ...

Situated within a walking distance from the Rio and Palms this is a frugal alternative to high strip prices. A free shuttle carries you to the center of the strip. Good rooms. A great buffet, my favorite for breakfast. A small live poker...
