The Hotel is one of the best in Omaha, offering clean and comfortable rooms and baths at very competitive prices compared to other establishments in the area. Whether you're here to try your luck at the casino or explore downtown Omaha, you'll find great value. Don't miss the all-you-can-eat crab leg buffet offered on weekends!

The room was nice and spacious. You could tell someone, at some time, had smoked in the room. There is only one place to get breakfast, and it’s an order from the menu restaurant. Service was good and the food came out fast. All staff we encountered was very nice and helpful. I would stay here again.

Good Hotel, Sub par Casino

The rooms were comfortable and the room was very clean. The shower and water faucets if not careful can burn you quickly. The water is extremely hot and instantly gets to scolding temperatures. The casino boat was a cool experience other than getting a server for drinks while playing, and that was a huge let down as every place I have ever been serves drinks if you are playing and usually asked non stop if you want more.
