It sucks IMHO for 30 somethings...For 60+ with an oxygen tank, u may find it exciting..
I couldn't breathe on the smoking level.....The slots are not fun....The few Wheel of Fortune slots are taken by oxygen carrying elderly who never give up their spot for the impatient 30 somethings.....
Buffet line looked like a two hour wait.
Plus-Free fountain drinks.
Negative-get more hip slots with themes like the Munsters or some other trendy slots....
Daycare, yes they have one...Our kids and our relatives kids had a ball until it was time for check-out...They make u stand in line for a half hour and then charge u for the extra half hour...Not fun when it's $7.50 per hour...P.S.-don't order the kids' meal..Microwaved garbage that even the most unpicky kid wouldn't eat....Also, our kids say the rootbeer tasted flat....
Kids' bathrooms don't have a door?? WTF? Only one handicapped stall which any kid over two would use to avoid total embarrassment.....
When u walk out of the casino into the parking lot, BE careful...People are driving SO fast..It's justa matter of time before a kid gets hit when they run out of the casino into what they think is a non-car walk way.....


Americans, don't just come in one color or race.

OOh I almost forgot, when we went to leave the line to the elevators was 1/2 way across the casino floor so we tried to take the stairs but the doors to the stairs were locked...when we asked a guard why they were locked they said they don't have to abide by state laws because they are governed under a soveriegn nations (or something like that) so we opted to walk to the front doors which was a nightmare because they were offering free valet (which was nice), we had to walk quite a ways to get back to our cars.....
Not exactly fun for those of us in heels on a frosty night but better than waiting 45 minutes for an elevator.

Honestly, kids have no business at a casino.

What the heck??!!?? that's a serious safety hazard to close off the stairs! and that sounds completely illegal and unsafe - that bunk that they don't have to abide by state laws really pisses me off - so they screw with the safety of our lives under the "we're governed under a sovereign nation" line of crap? BS!

this is just one more reason not to EVER go to ANY Indian casino's - if they can mess with our lives and safety like that - screw 'em, they will never ever get any more of my business, nor that of all the people I tell about the unsafe practices going on there that jeopardizes our safety and well being.

what bunk! that place should be closed down for being such a huge safety hazard - what if that place caught fire - everyone will die because they can't use the stairs to get out!

I completely agree and have never understood why anyone would want to bring a child to a casino.

They aren't allowed in the casino. The derelict parents lug them there to drop them off in the daycare.

45 mins to use the elevator and stairs locked?!?!!? I agree WTH? Whether they have to follow local code and laws is beside the point.

They'd take their kids into a smoke filled casino surrounded by boozers and gamblers to get a buffet?? really?

IMO, that's pure insanity and should be against the law to lock up the stair wells.

those people are freaking insane and should have their arses kicked for putting people's safety in jeopardy.

after hearing this I will never ever step one foot inside that hole

I haven't been to Redhawk, so I don't know the layout, but when visiting my parents in Oregon, they quite often take me to the Buffet at the nearest Indian Gaming Casino. that one you can get to the dining area without going through the gambling area. I've been there with my son. The only reason we went was for the buffet. So I guess, the answer to your question is Yes.

Kids aren't allowed to linger on the casino floor, but casinos offer other attractions that may be kid friendly.

In the early 90's, the folks in Las Vegas decided to make the strip a family-friendly destination. Several of the casinos installed theme parks (MGM), roller coasters (New York, New York, Stratosphere), free family friendly shows (Treasure Island, Rio), arcades and other attractions to bring parents and kids to town.

In recent years, they've backed off from that quite a bit, but lots of folks still take their kids there.

There is more to a some casinos than gambling.

As for Red Hawk, there doesn't seem to be much else there, other than the buffet.
