I'm not sure why all the bad reviews on this place. I'm not a slot player, my wife is though and she has had decent luck in our 3 or 4 trips to this casino.
The gaming- The table games are pretty good at this place. During the week I have found $5 minimums, but they can quickly rise to $10 or more when the weekend comes and all the college kids from Central Michigan are in there playing. They have a nice assortment of Blackjack, Craps, and the other table games with not so great odds :)
The food- The steakhouse here is excellent. I had a steak and it was honestly one of the best steaks I've had in a while. They also have a great little Italian place that serves breakfast in the morning and Italian dishes for dinner. The buffet is so-so, it's definitely not top of the line, but not the worst either.
The hotel- Very clean, 4 diamond AAA rated. What more can I say? I've stayed here 3 times and enjoyed top of the line service each and every time. They offer many gaming/dining/hotel packages, so if you'll be going here be sure to check their website for current package info.
The area- It's a college town, but a peaceful town as well. If you want to dine away from the casino, be sure to check out The Italian Oven. It has great Italian dishes and has quickly become of my favorite places to eat when in Mount Pleasant.
We always enjoyed our trips to soaring eagle,we never won alot, but it was fun and once in awhile we would walk out ahead.
We could have drink specials and play for hours,we earned decent comps. they have tightened the slots, no decent comps, and
the employees are rude. Last time we were there, we had one drink each and our money was gone. No fun anymore.
Loosen up,we just want to be entertained and have fun for AWHILE. Teach your employees to at least smile.
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.
My wife and I visited three times in past 30 days. We spent all of our time playing video poker at the bar. We were very successful the 1st and 2nd trips taking home several hundred dollars. However, the casino took some of it back on our 3rd trip. I was very happy to find 9/6 JOB outside of Vegas. I can't believe people play anything less.We enjoyed the drink specials while playing. We will be back soon!
Overall I thought the casino floor was too closely packed with machines and tables. It was almost impossible to find a machine where you didn't keep getting bumped into by somebody. The machines were too tight, and it looked like nobody was winning. The table games were ok, but the smoke level around the tables made it impossible to play for an extended period. The service by the drink girls was excellent the nights I was there, and the prices and service at the bars was very good.
