You are going to have to follow the financial well being of any place you have reservations.

The Red Garter Casino is going belly up March 3.
Why are we not surprised?
Let's review what they have to offer;
A bad smell when you open the door, due to inadequate ventilation and thick smoke. The carpet appears to have been laid at least 10 years ago. Can't speak for the quality of food, as we haven't eaten there in years.
Don't know if they had many winners. They used to give a bunch of coins and coupons just for showing an out of state driver's license.
That stopped several years back.
One would think that a casino should be a permit to print money; but the Smith boys showed us how to puke away the family fortune.
 Perhaps some other outfit will step up and make some improvements.
I just re-booked for 09 and was told Days Inn is under new management. I never had a problem in 08 at all. :-)
 
I wonder if we got lucky and Econo Lodge also pulled the franchise from the same owner.

New ownership hasn't seemed to do the Stateline any favors.

Stateline is horrible ... It is a second rate casino designed to fleece everyone that is foolish enough to walk through the door. As a hotel it is third rate. I stayed there in 2007 and I will never stay there again.

Putting down the hotels won't gain us anything. The word usually gets back to them.

Stateline used to be good, Stateline is no longer in existence.

We generally stay at the Motel 6, it is a step up from the bend, but not the Hilton...
