Do not bother and go to Cherokee unless you go for the nice ride. Hotel is small with 6 floors and they will no doubt expand and I was told there are plans to build a real restaurant like they have at Cherokee. We all went to our rooms early to take a shower and wash our hair from the smoke smell none of us could stand. Do not look for the traditional slots as there are very few only all the newer ones with all the sounds and noises like the Britney Spears slots that nobody played. The smoke was really BAD and only a few machines had a non smoking signs on them which most ignored.
Slots were absolutely horrible and of the 4 of us that went none of us won anything to speak of and together lost around $600 in a very short period of time. Starbucks, Panda Express and the standard pizza available. Had an Earl of Sandwiches sandwich and it was fine for a quick meal. No sit down restaurant only fast food, although very slow service. Casino staff very friendly and room was comfortable and clean although much smaller than Harrahs Cherokee.
