Property was great, check in was smooth and everything went well. The location is out in the middle of nowhere and very quiet! It was perfect to celebrate with my friends and family
This Hotel and Casino was very nice and clean, very well kept. I recommend to others and will be going back, when I take my daughter to Southern Illinois University
First time to visit the property and it was great! Restrooms were clean, food at the sports bar was really good, and the room was quite large for a standard king.
Great food . Had lunch at 21&vine , dinner at eves steakhouse.
Just don’t plan a day relaxing with a cocktail at pool or restaurant . You are allowed 2 drinks and they must be 20 minutes, minimum, apart.
Good place to see concerts, spend the night.
But unless you want to gamble, there is nothing to do.
Especially when you cannot be in the heat. So pool was not an option.
Though we did sit poolside under an umbrella for a quick snack.
Overall-staff were great!!
Mimosa at 21, refreshing !
Steak tender and juicy.
If you eat at Eves everyone order a different side, large portions, $10 extra,(Entree is dish only, no side)to share.
Id go again for concert but only book for that night or just drive home.,
We actually left a paid room out of boredom.
The staff are extremely friwndly and the resort is very clean. The room was spacious, but our bed was a little hard. We were still able to sleep. I would highly recommend this hotel and casino. I will be back soon.
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2026

Everything was very nice and clean! Will definitely be coming back
Room was clean and roomy. Staff very friendly. Dining options limited to one restaurant during week for dinner. The internet was an issue being slow in our room. The hvac was noisy so we turned it off.
The hotel is new. Everything was spotless. Staff was exceptionally friendly. The steakhouse restaurant food was delicious. Pool area was very nice. I'm told a summertime stay has a lot going on, so hope to stay there in the summer!
The room was clean and staff friendly. We enjoyed having
the sit down restaurant for breakfast and evening meal. The food was good. There are plenty of machines and a lot of variety. The hot tub we enjoyed ....the inside pool was not heated the weekend we were there. We were able to stay busy during our 3 night stay in the casino.
