I noticed a subtle pleasant smell each time I entered the casino. It is a smoking casino but they must have big exhaust fans because you can't see or smell any smoke. There was an hour wait for a table at Hard Rock at 9pm on a Saturday, fortunately we were able to snag two chairs at the bar top and order dinner right away. If you want to eat at Hard Rock or Copper Rock, make your reservations early before you even travel there. Three people we met on the train tried to get a Saturday night reservation and it would have been a 10:45pm seating. There is also an upscale steakhouse, Copper Rock, in the casino. The shuttle driver gave us a printed schedule. They will deliver you from the casino to Amtrak and also from your hotel to Amtrak if you call to schedule.
There is an Amtrak stop (a platform with an awning, no station) where the Four Winds Casino shuttle meets all trains and takes you to your local hotel - not just the Four Winds Hotel.
We can provide no input regarding loose/tight slots as we are casual slots players and it was our first trip here. The other bars can only get regular network feeds. Note that for NFL Sunday s that the Hard Rock has Directv and Sunday Ticket.
There is a Hard Rock Cafe in the casino which was great. Beautiful indian-themed artwork in large atrium at entrance the entire casino is very modern.
