I ike the Soaring Eagle. I like it a lot. But as other reviews also claim, they have really tightened up on their slots over the last 3-4 years. I've gone with $300 dollars before and ended up coming home in an hour and a half. That's just sick. But on the upside, I go with friends and always have a ton of fun. I have enough from Club Players to always comp a room whenever I want to. The buffet food there isn't 5 star, but it is good. The steak house there serves excellent food. The rooms are more than decent, and the staff is always nice. The thing they need to work on other than loosening their slots a little... just a little will make the difference. People notice. The other thing is that there is never a waiter or waitress on the floor to get a drink. At times I have noted NO servers on the floor at all. None. I spend the night often since Fire Keepers doesn't have their hotel built and I have taken the time to go through the entire place in search off a server. None were to be had many times. But hey! Make a friend and offer to get one for your neighbor if you walk up to the bar to get one for yourself.
By far the best of the Michigan Casinos, and my wife and I have visited them all.
The slots are up-do-date and pay-off reasonably well. The casino is clean and the machines are not crowded too closely together as in many of the others. If you can't find slots you like here you shouldn't be playing slots at all. The table games are great and the employees well trained and courteous.
The hotel is first class, we have stayed there often and have yet to have a bad experience. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Although the price might seem high it is best to take a package and you receive premiums that more than make up. You're going to spend the money anyway, go this way.
The food at the buffet is over-priced and not very good. Go to the Water-Lily or Steakhouse and you will do better.
Soaring Eagle is a modern casino hotel with all the amenities. The rooms are well appointed and clean. There are a variety of restaurants, an indoor pool, an outdoor hot tub (they have adult only hours which is nice). Check out some of the combo promotions such that bundle food, gas, and hotel stay - they offer an excellent value
i love going to the soaring eagle..it is a beautiful place to stay and 2 women can there and feel safe....the video poker machines are very good..won over 6000.00 there in 2 days..... love the hotel, it is wonderful...will go back as soon as possible.
This Casino seems to have a mixed up personality. They are very reasonable in some areas (Table Limits, Drink Prices) but overpriced in others (Buffet, Hotel). All in all, the gaming here really isn't that bad. I never mess around with the slots, but full pay deuces video poker can be found (over at the slot palace) even at the .25c level. Table limits are very reasonable and ever since they've started their "Certified Hot" campaign the rules have shifted even more toward the player in Blackjack and especially Roulette (Single 0, Half Outside Bet Back on 0) at the $5 level. Drink service is very hit or miss, but for the price you really can not complain ($1.75 drafts, $3.25 Vodka Red-Bull's). Smoke is pretty heavy, especially at the tables but its fairly open so the ventilation isn't too bad. Comps are nearly non existent on the tables, but what do you expect to get playing $5 blackjack?
