I like going solo here, grab breakfast in the café, walk through the casino for a few rounds, then relax by the pool or spa. Booking early helps score the best solitary pick-me-up rates.

Couples usually head straight for the steakhouse, catch a show, and maybe split a spa package. It feels like a mini city date night: dinner, gaming, entertainment, and room service—all without leaving the property.

If you love solo luxury and a dose of adrenaline, this is a dream. Mornings at the spa, afternoons exploring local eats, evenings of blackjack, and nights at The Theatre? Yes, please.
