The 24-hour a day casino offers table games, slot machines, a race book and a separate poker room.
The Mediterranean-themed resort, built at a cost of | $675 million, opened in 1999. Mature oak trees line the circular entrance which leads to an atrium planted with flowers and fragrant magnolia trees. Finches fly overhead and the floor is an Italian-designed mosaic. |
