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?

Used to be a fairly fun place to go for a few hours. You could go there, take a few bucks, and maybe even win a little bit....or at least play for a while and have some fun. Now you burn your money up in no time and leave feeling totally ripped off. They tightened the slots up to an intolerable level. There is no question about it. It's so noticeable that it's nonsensical. The slots barely hit. The power up slots are rigged to pay out little. You never see big winners anymore when your sitting there. Should be illegal what they've done. I guess that's what you get when the fox is in charge of the hen house. Who decided that the tribe regulating the tribe owned casino was a good idea? Can anyone say "conflict of interest". As far as I'm concerned they are thieves.
The food is overpriced and the buffet food is barely passable. The employees are generally rude. I don't care if they have someone pushing a cart full of money escorted by security coming through. You don't shove me out of the way. I am the customer. You go around me. The bathrooms are usually filthy. The Players Club line is usually long and slow. They need more help. Getting a drink from the bar is an exercise in time management. You could die of thirst waiting. I'll never go back there. I'll spend my hard earned money elsewhere...where I'm appreciated as a customer and where they actually play a fair game and even pay once in awhile. I'd advise others to do the same. You'll be richer for it.

Other then the non smoking area is somewhat small and some of the areas are cramped. Hard to get threw between rows. An I'm not a big person even the wait staff has a hard time moving around. This cramped area is up front and to the left as you enter the gaming area.

very nice hotel/pool/spa. steak house very good and reasonable at lunch. casino open and easy to negotiate, but slots are tight. they do have full pay jacks or better vp throughout and thats all i will play (other than craps).

I think Soaring Eagle is actually pretty decent in comparison to most casinos in Michigan. I like it a lot better then any of the places in Detroit. I almost always come out even if not ahead here. They have really good table minimums even on the weekends. The blackjack machine is $3 which is as good as it gets unless you are in Vegas. I have never stayed in the hotel and can't comment on that. I always stay at a hotel in the town. The comps are alright, but I hardly ever get free play. I usually just use it towards food in the cafe. The food at the cafe is fairly decent and isn't too expensive. I have never had the buffet. They have a lot of slots and the place feels open and never cramped.
