Open 24 hours a day, it includes 20 tables and 180 seats, and offers players a host of amenities, including an in-room cashier, complimentary beverage service, USB charging ports at every seat, its outside smoking deck and twenty-seven 55-inch TVs. 

Games offered include Texas Hold’em (limit and no limit), Omaha (Hi-Lo and Pot-Limit), and 7 Card Stud.
