River Rock Casino Resort
The resort had several amenities closed for maintenance while we were there. Overall, the resort has a heavy focus on the casino, which makes this a better place to visit for couples/groups, than for families.

Pan Pacific Vancouver
There were mice scurrying all over the restaurant floor while we were having a drink. The staff know all about it and no one seems to care. It’s extremely unsanitary and disgusting while you’re trying to eat a meal. Won’t be staying there again
