Smoke-free area is too small & some of the other areas can get unpleasant with the smoke. The casino gets better each trip as they finish more & more of the additions. We always sleep 'till 8 or 9 due to the room-darkening curtains & quietness in the hallways. The hotel is first class with super rooms - spacious, luxurious, large bath, etc. We go every 8-10 weeks or so whether we need to or not.
