My husband and his friend play table games and had a significantly more difficult time being able to play than I did.

You are encouraged to wear a mask at the slots but not required. I play slots and video poker and on Thursday I had no trouble finding operational machines that I like to play as a lot of them are disabled to allow for social distancing. Entranced to the casino was fine, there are health questions to answer before entering and they are keeping up with how many people enter and exit due to limited operating capacity. Casino: Ok, here's where it got a *little* aggravating. It does get pretty crowded at breakfast time and there is usually a wait due to the reduced capacity but it was never very long. We had afternoon drinks once, and breakfast twice and all three were enjoyable. They have no 'at the bar' seating right now and tables have been removed to allow for social distancing. Mix & Mingle: This is lobby bar/restaurant when you first enter the hotel and one of favorite places here. We were very pleased with the room and no reservations at all about staying in it. There is not daily housekeeping but they have the option of the automated concierge 'Ivy' that allows you to text your needs such as clean towels, etc. We had a gulf view non-smoking king with a great view of the pool and The Blind Tiger across the street. There was a seal on the door of our room letting us know that the room was 'sanitized and sealed'. The elevators were also clean and smelled sanitized. Check-in was quick and easy and the entire lobby area was very clean. They did have bell service but we did not use it. There is no valet service currently but honestly the parking deck is literally steps from the hotel entrance so that did not bother us. All of the employees we encountered as we entered were wearing face covering and they all seemed friendly and glad to be back. The Hotel: The hotel smelled very clean and sanitized upon entering. I do realize some of this may change as the Post-Covid 19 climate progresses but if you're going in the immediate future some of it might be good to know. Overall it was a good time and we enjoyed it, but in the spirit of full disclosure I wanted to mention some things that weren't as enjoyable as well. We've been here many times before so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was our first visit after the post-Covid 19 reopening and I believe the casino and hotel had been open about 3 weeks. ****Lengthy but honest review ahead*** We visited for a three day weekend June 4th, 5th and 6th.
