I bet it is not quite so lovely in August. Of course, it is late spring so there is grass. I'm currently looking out over a huge meadow with cows in it. There are outlet stores across the street and everything is lovely. The staff at the hotel & casino were amazingly friendly and competent, the machines were laid out great. I did not get to play the quarter slots because the entire bank was lit up, but that's not the casino's fault, it is the smokers. The casino has a HUGE area of non smoking, and the rest is not that bad.
Who doesn't like free? It is in a lot way back of the property, but there is a shuttle that runs all the time. I came here in my RV, for which they have free parking.
