Casino Camper Visit - May, 2006
We stopped in late at night on a weekend. Several RV's already there. All the marked RV parking slots are back-in (or pull in) spots -- no pull through. So if you're pulling a toad you'll have to park across them and take up 7 or 8 spots. It's the same way in front and back RV lot. When you first enter the area, just past the gas station is the first RV lot. The entrance isn't marked as such, but once you turn in past the gas station you'll see a sign pointing right into a parking area. The second RV lot is behind the casino. If you follow all the "RV Parking" signs around you'll come right to it. Lots of space in both locations. Our old Southwind was in good company, parked close to a Newell and two Prevost conversions. Everyone enjoys casino parking
Went inside the next day and quickly checked out the video poker, live poker room, etc. First the good news. This is a nice, clean place with modern TITO machines, tables in good condition, etc. They have also done the "Route 66" theme very well with lots of cool retro art and signage. They even have a Johnny Rockets burger shop. The poker room is very nice, 12 tables and a full bar off to the side (I always enjoy it when my opponents drink at the table).
Now the bad news. If you're a video poker player you're in the desert in more ways than one. They have lots of upright Game Kings multi denomination, quarter to dollar. Some slant tops. JOB in 8/5 7/5 and 6/5. BP in 7/5 and 6/5. DB in 9/6 and 8/5 Deuces in a version I couldn't identify (so it isn't FP or NSU). On all the machines you had to play dollars or half's to get the better pay tables. Also you need to really be careful to check the paytable and confirm the game you're actually playing. Choose Bonus Poker, and you may get a paytable that is actually 7/5 JOB!!!
I recommend table games or live poker here. But since we did sleep in their parking lot, Chris gave them a shot at winning $20 from her at a 6/5 Bonus machine. Luck was on her side -- she hit a Straight Flush and cashed out for $75.
