[edit] History
The casino itself was built in 1996. It is the largest casino between Las Vegas and Atlantic City, featuring a non-smoking slot section on the upper floor as well as a large poker room. The first hotel, Casino Tower, was constructed in 1997. It contains 148 roooms and 40 suites. The theme of the hotel is art deco. The second hotel, Veranda Tower, is a country inn themed hotel which was constructed in 1999. It contains 532 rooms and 36 suites. The largest hotel and final hotel completed, Terrace Tower, was completed in 2001 with more of a modern theme. It contains 563 rooms and 37 suites.
The Veranda and Terrace Towers are across the street from the casino, completing the resort theme of the casino and hotels. They are approximately 1/4 mile from the casino, and complimentary shuttle service which runs 24 hours a day takes guests to and from the casino. A shuttle comes by each of the hotels every 2-3 minutes. The Casino Tower is located adjacent to the casino itself and is about 200 yards away. There is a covered walkway in between the two. The shuttle does not run at the Casino Tower. However, shuttles do also run to the RV Park about once an hour.
