I can't believe I go to this place every time I am there. I NEVER win a dime. The slots are so tight, I swear they are screaming in pain when I get there. If you think it would be nice to win once in awhile don't go to Mountaineer.
The player's club...what player's club? I get offered $10 once in a blue moon.
The rooms--crappy.
Atmosphere--well at least the ventilation seems adequate.
The place is dark and creepy on a Friday night. Hey, maybe that works in October, but not always.
Food? They have food there? Buffets are horrid looking. And "snacks" are straight out of the Sam's Club box. Very processed looking.
When i first started going to the mountaneer i got free hotel rooms, free play, free food and we won everytime we came down. Now, they do not pay out like they used to and on top of that i get 5.00 in free play and it's very seldom. That place stinks now.
I hate this casino. The only thing good about Mountaineer is that it's the closest casino to my home in Ohio. Unfortunately, I would rather spend another 20 minutes and go to Wheeling (actually I prefer Meadows or Rivers which is 45 minutes further).
The atmosphere is terrible. This dark, smoke filled joint reminds me of Las Vegas' Ellis Island Casino -- lot of smoke.
Overall I've done well on the table games, but, I always manage to sit next to a bunch of smokers. Even when I do find a table that has no smokers, the second had smoke from the other tables seem to be overwhelming.
As far as the table games are concerned, I only play BlackJack. Mini Baccarat is in the High Rollers section and has a $25 mnimum -- boo. The slots are just as tight as they are at Presque Isle (aren't they sister properties?).
The food selection is horrible. The Player's Club is a joke. Last, but, not least, the customer service is less than desired.
I really have nothing good to say about this joint. In fact, as much as I don't like Presque Isle, I dislike Mountaineer even more.
Stay away from this lung cancer inducing, rip-off of a casino.
All I can say is shame on them and they should consider closing their doors. The place stinks so bad from smoke, if you're a smoker then it would not bother you, but for someone that has asthma and is allergic to smoke, it's not a place to be. Machines are a joke. I don't think they even pay out. Tight! Tight! and did I say tight! Take your money and go to wheeling island , the meadows, or the Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh PA.
