This was our first stay at this resort, the grand spa room was very comfortable and well appointed. We dined at Guy Fieri’s and found the food very good and the staff was very accommodating. The casino is very large and offers both smoking and non smoking areas to play. Now on to COVID Precautions All employees had mask on Self Service Beverage Area is manned with a server Guest are required to wear mask, and I can say I did not see anyone walking around without one on. Sanitation Stations (Hand Sanitizer) all over the place Sanitation Wipes posted in every area and people were using them to wipe down the machines. Only 4 people in an elevator and people were abiding by the rules. In closing, we really enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to the completion of their new hotel in 2021.
