Sadly, a venue once warm and inviting is now uninviting and deafening.Ĭustomers who used to like the place would be well advised to write or call the management and ask that the casino be put back the way it was.

Opposite the gaming tables, now jammed together apparently to discourage patrons of size, is a vast new area dedicated to Beer Pongers, the 'Staggering Deaf'.
