The casino is a large, rectangular space, an inviting atmosphere of soft lighting and art deco accents with 65 table games and 2,100 slot machines. Among them are "champagne" $1,000 slots, with a top payout of a cool mil. Not surprisingly, you’ll find all the latest creations from machine-maker Bally, including laser-disc versions of craps, roulette and blackjack; all are excellent practice tools before heading to the actual tables. The buy-ins at the tables start at $10 with an occasional $5 single-deck 6:5 21 game, though many players wager far more than the minimum. The video poker is pretty pitiful, but the sports book, on the lower level, is as classy and technically advanced as those at the Bellagio and the Hilton, and it’s only crowded on big-game days.
Games: Baccarat ($100–$15,000); blackjack ($5–$3,000); Caribbean stud; craps (3x, 4x, 5x; from $5); keno; Let it Ride; mini baccarat ($15–$5,000); pai gow poker; pai gow tiles; poker (9 tables); roulette (double zero); three-card poker.
