text: It was the end of our last night in town and I really wanted to check out the Casino.  I'm not much of a gambler, well, I should say I don't like losing money, so if things aren't going well, I just stop and move on to something that drains my money slower, like a sports book or an arcade.  That said, I do love Pai Gow Poker, and was hoping to find a table with a reasonable minimum bet.\n\nFirst, the building is pretty cool looking and very inviting from the freeway when you're passing it on the way into town, but it is a little tricky to get to because it's on an island and not close to any bridge.  Parking was easy, but once you enter the casino it was extremely challenging to navigate.  \n\nLet me start by saying that if you like a variety of slot machines, they have EVERYTHING.  From Grease with videos from the movie to Lobster Madness.  Seriously, these slot machine designers have no holds barred.  Unfortunately, when you first enter you're in a small area with slots.  Then you have to use another elevator to get to a different floor and then go down a ramp to get to another series of elevators.  Or you can use the escalators and then you might find yourself in another part of the building that is (as described by others) under renovation.  I finally found the table games but was told I was in the wrong building for Pai Gow Poker.  \n\nSo, I made my way back, collected my family that was waiting for me and dragged them to the tables, where I found out that the minimum bet was $50.  In fact, every minimum bet was double what you would expect at Tahoe and triple the minimums at Vegas.  This is NOT the place to gamble if you can't afford to drop some serious cash.  But I had invested this much time, so we hit a few slot machines, had some fun and then left, wishing we had spent our time elsewhere.  It wasn't totally wasted, but there are so many wonderful things to see in town, don't bother with the Casino.
