Spacious Lodging

My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay in a spacious non-smoking room with two queen beds. The amenities including a refrigerator, coffee machine, and a cozy table with two chairs really enhanced our experience. It was a perfect setup for a mini vacation! We also appreciated the lovely treat basket and card from room service celebrating our anniversary, which was a good surprise.

Delicious Seafood Buffet

We dined at the Friday night seafood buffet and were blown away by the extensive menu. The crab legs and shrimp were fresh and absolutely delicious! Our server was attentive and made our dining experience enjoyable, making it a fantastic start to our night.

Relaxing Amenities

During our stay, I took advantage of the pool, hot tub, and sauna. Though the pool area could use a bit of TLC, I found the sauna to be a great way to relax after a day at the casino. It was an excellent escape, and I appreciated having access to these leisure facilities as part of our experience.

Nice Fitness Center

I visited the fitness center during my stay and was pleasantly surprised by how well-equipped it was. It had a good range of machines and weights, which made it easy to keep up with my exercise routine while on vacation. Getting my workout in gave me a great boost of energy for our time at the casino!

The hotel left a lot to be desired. While the main building offered spacious and well-decorated rooms, the Lodge across the street is not ideal for those with mobility issues. The service was generally polite, but the facilities were outdated and unwelcoming. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place for an enjoyable stay.

I had a wonderful experience at Rising Star Casino. The atmosphere felt inviting, and the dining options, especially the steakhouse, were off the charts. However, the lobby seemed surprisingly empty, which gave off a bit of an odd vibe. Overall, it’s a good spot if you’re looking for a compact casino experience with some great dining, but there are definitely areas for improvement regarding ambiance.

Our stay at Rising Star Casino was not what we hoped for, especially for our anniversary. While the location near the Ohio River is lovely, we were very disappointed with the housekeeping and service. The rooms needed better attention, and the lack of security made us uneasy. The overall experience felt lacking, although the meal options were decent.

I had a great experience at the lodge near the casino. The staff was always friendly and helpful, making check-in a breeze. The rooms were spacious and had all the necessary amenities, plus it was a bonus that the lodge is non-smoking. However, I did notice some minor issues with the RV park's entry signage and cable TV that dampened the experience a bit. Overall, it's convenient and good value for a relaxing stay.
