An absolute jewel of a casino, marred by poor management. The players, dealers, and overall atmosphere can be pretty dreary. Table service is better than the rest (not saying much however). I hope SJM learns from the newcomers.
The bar has a good selection though, and the free girly show when I was there was eye-catching (though generic, you can only watch former russian gymnasts contort and lip-sync for so long).

Much improved since last time I was there. They must have really worked out the kinks. The guards though are still on the surly side.
They just opened a poker room (or rather roped one off). Dealers are all female and rather cute (in a Hello-Kitty-ish way). The poker area is by someting rather humorous, the "Star of Stanley Ho". A huge diamond Stan bought, named after himself, and then encourages everone to drool at. Is that guy for real?
Meanwhile the theme of the Decor finally hit me. Think of Connery-era James Bond and Bruce Lee did a buddy movie together circa 1968. Groovy baby, groovy.
