Very nice looking place, but the hotel lobby is filled with a mist of one of those phony, fruity room scents. I have no idea what idiot thinks those scents are in any way pleasant.
The poker room and the sports book are adjacent. Like pretty much all sports books, they’ve made an executive decision to fill the place with enough smoke to ensure they never have to take a bet from me.
