My husband and I enjoy gambling when we travel and we travel frequently. Biloxi, Mississippi is only about an hour and a half from our house even though we live in Florida. We go to Biloxi, which has about eight different casinos, about every other month. We have played the slots in Vegas, Minnesota, Alabama, South Florida, and we are regulars in Biloxi. I have never been to a casino like this one, however. I was only betting between $1.20 and $2 and I hit about 7 times. I won $982 on a $2 bet on one machine, I want almost $500 on a dollar sixty bet on another, I won almost $400 on a dollar twenty bet on another, and I won several $300 pays. The casino in Duluth was the second highest paying casino that I've ever been to, but the Bear Lake casino and the Mystic Lake casino were the absolute worst. The beggars flock to me when I was winning and just to mention to a nice male Indian looking employee on my way to the restroom sent the security people over to my machine to clear then out. I wish the Minnesota casinos serve free alcohol like other casinos, but you can't have everything. I highly recommend this place and my next trip to Minnesota will definitely include a stop at the Grand! Note that I gave a rating of a 3 for food and drink, hotel amenities, and table games because we did not partake in any of that.

I went to a concert at the casino last weekend and almost suffocated from all the cigarette smokers!! The concert was fantastic!! The smoke was not!!!!!! I have asthma/COPD & it was terrible. I had to hold my breath every time I walked from one area to another. The "nonsmoking section" is a joke! The smoke travels throughout the whole building. Not like there is an invisible barrier that is going to stop the cigarette smoke. Should have more floors/levels like the hotel does and make one for nonsmokers and the other for smokers. I won't be going there as I like to breathe.
