Really was in there Sept 20th and the place is clean but no big deal. WE actually felt closed in after we were there about 30 minutes. In fact really don't think it could be compared to other strip casinos.
Pretty healthy crowd when I was there (although the restaurants seemed a little empty). I know the buffet is only open on weekends now. They have 3 nightclubs on site. That really doesn't make alot of sense to me.
