  The bartenders know what they are doing and are always busy. There's nothing really wrong with the exception of taking a while to get to you. If you don't mind the wait you should enjoy hanging out here. There is no sense of privacy either as they are posted right in the middle of the floor and lack any real semblance of walls. Good as a temporary oasis on your way to the other side of the casino.

  I like how this bar is sort of in the middle of everything. While your friends are busy gambling their money away, you can watch 10 games at once, have a beer and a shot, and eat game day types foods i.e. hotdogs, chips, and peanuts. What more do you need on a Sunday funday?
  
  The bartenders are totally on top of their game-even though this is a 360 bar and you can tend to get blindsided by what's going on behind in the blink of an eye. The two bartenders were ready with replacement drinks as soon as I made eye contact and were not at all pushy with their drink suggestions. It felt low key and casual overall and the comfy leather couches really helped the ambiance a lot.

  i like coming here when my dude wants to watch a game or boxing match or whatever. full bar, nice atmosphere (despite the casino smoke), and i always have the option to leave him at the bar and go gamble. and the bartenders are friendly, usually always. 2 thumbs up.

  Awesome bar that has been made better lately by its conversion into more of a lounge.
  
  They have a live DJ spinning top 40 and some occasional house.  The crowd tends to range from 20s to even 50s, which I like, I like a diverse crowd to look at when I'm drinking and having a good time.
  Drinks are pretty cheap, about 6 bucks for a cocktail.
  
  Get a room at the hotel if you get too tossed as the rooms are pretty sweet for being in middle of nowhere in Placer county... you can close your eyes while the room is spinning from the alcohol and imagine you're in Vegas.

  This is a pretty cool bar.
  
  First off, I'm a fan of the circular bars. Much easier to get in there without squeezing between the folks who decided to sit up at the bar. There were several bartenders, and they were tossing bottles around and such. Nice.
  
  I like the ambiance, I like the decor. Couches make for a relaxed atmosphere that doesn't feel like you have to get out onto the floor again.
  
  I have trouble spending money on drinks at a casino, as they oughta be comped, but if you need to slam a few, this is a nice place to do it.
