Just got back from 2nd visit. What a difference 4 months make. The slots have been tightened almost to Tampa Hard Rock level. The cocktail waitresses are hired for their asses instead of their ability. So disappointed with this trip. Sat at a slot and another persons card was in the machine, she had $2900 in comps, she signed up in Sept.
We dropped over 3 grand and barely received $200, something wrong. We'll try the Nugget next trip, beautiful place and slots looser. As an aside, my son in law asked the front desk where the staircase was and they had no idea?
We go to the Beau fairly often, even though it's an eleven hour drive. We get comped for room suite, food, and freeplay, so I can't complain about anything. For years I gave my money to Harrahs, but have found MGM takes much better care of us. Our host,. Lysa Tapper, is amazing. Going so often, we do get sick of the food, and despite some reviews to the contrary, the food is at the best-mediocre. Jia is the best of the mediocre. But hey, it's free so we love it! The Beau rewards loyalty, and sometimes when the machines are cold we don't mind so much as everything else is already comped.
Just returned from a three night trip. Everyone we met was in a down mood indicating they were losing. However, my experience was with proper money management you have a good opportunity to leave with more than you came with or break even. We all have seen someone win a couple of hundred dollars on a $1 machine and feed it right back in and then complain about not winning. I won a Double Diamond Jackpot last December, cashed it out and bought some things I wanted when I got home. On the downside, the Double points don't apply to Video Poker and the pay tables could be better. The Table games need some $5 tables during the morning, that would be nice. The food choices are great, we love the Coast! Roasted Bean is great with free refills. Hotel staff is friendly, overall a very enjoyable visit, we love the Beau Rivage and will return. We stayed for three nights and only left for some things we ran out of and needed a refill.
this is a great casino, it's one of the nicest casinos on the gulf coast if not the nicest as long as you don't care about good gambling because their video poker is sub-par at best.
Although I did not play slots, I noticed that the selection was good and they seemed to have the most up to date games.
Table games were plentiful. Seating was available for all limits. Tables were clean and looked brand new. I was up big after playing for only a couple of hours, so I decided to try a new table game. The dealer was friendly and helpful in explaining how to play.
Even on a Thursday night, the atmosphere was great. It was the perfect combination of classy yet laid back.
Beau Rivage's location on the gulf coast is ideal. I certainly want to go back.
