Long story, so read throughly. On 11/12/23 I was having my wedding at Rivers Casino. Prior to that I was in search of the appropriate venue that could host, cater, sleep and provide an overall quality experience for 150 guest. Rivers casino/ Landing hotel was able to not only sell me a service, it was a pressure less, no obligation initial meet with so many questions. Fast forward, the sales team not only met me with every bit of detail to expect, the numbers and services they provided us with included efficient and timely responses and highly accurate figures in which I could expect to pay. After the meet and greets and agreements. We provided a list of ideas, a vision in which we were ready to capture on our big day. These folks executed this task flawlessly. From linens and napkins to floor layouts and bar setups. Cocktail hour planning and signature drinks. We had flowers delivered and setup but they assisted in minor adjustments as a courtesy. Rivers has some amazing folks working on their team. Operations team was essential as they helped to coordinate our wedding parties movements, timing, line ups and how we were to execute entrances as well as exits. The constant check ins and follow ups with us was unanimously agreed upon and seen as beneficial. The food service was profound. At our tasting I made some critiques and alterations that the kitchen was very receptive of. When it came to the big day, the dinner came out with every addition and alteration made. It surpassed the standard, and was perfect. We chose Salmon, Steak, Gnocchi with mashed potatoes two ways. The Landing staff for the hotel included desk people all shifts, custodial staff and cleaners. Locked doors, lost keys and plenty of back and forth they were there for us. I can't express enough gratitude to all things perfectly done by these supporting individuals. I highly recommend booking your upcoming wedding.

So my boyfriend and I stayed here at their hotel for three nights and we had a pleasant stay. The hotel staff everywhere we went were very nice and friendly from the front desk people to the cleaning staff. The room was lovely and so was the bathroom. The problem we had with the hotel however stems from them not accepting a coupon code to reduce the total amount of our stay. The lady at the front desk told us that they wouldn't be able to accept it because the reservation had been done online in advance which we think is ridiculous, but I could understand why they would say they couldn't because they're probably greedy and don't care for their customers' financial satisfaction. The hotel was nice and the service was nice though despite the issue with the coupon. We may return in the future. EDIT: we stayed again for a few more nights and I wanted to modify my review. As a rush rewards member I wanted to book a couple nights with some nice deals however I ran into a few issues and so I called in about it. The people I talked on the phone with were nice and accommodating to my needs and kept their promises. A manager called me and helped set up my booking. Overall is sat their customer service is better than a lot of places and I appreciate their assistance. So I decided to bump up my review by another star. One complaint I have is their check-in time: 4pm. In my opinion that is ridiculous and is pretty late for a check-in time compared to other hotels. My ultimate advice? Although the place is nice and the staff are friendly and helpful, and there is a casino right next door with more friendly and helpful staff, the rates for all of the rooms for each night (about 140+ depending on room type) is not worth it from my perspective. Overpriced. So try and get some deals if you can if you decide to stay here.

Where do i even start ? This casino has gone to shambles im a high stakes player who has been playing since day one . Today you guys over paid what your Pitboss said was 450 not sure how that is even possible . I took your word for it and gave you back 450 but some how was left with 150 less than when i started the hand and i explained that to the Pitt boss he told me he would check the cameras . I went to a diffent game while waiting and you guys called me and said come back we have your 150 so i got up went back and when i got there i was told we are not giving you 150 . Unreal the other Pitboss couldn’t believe it ….. but wait it gets better i than put 25 on red 7 and landed in red 7 which you can see in the picture above your dealer accidentally picked the ball up out of the seven after it stopped than realized what he did dropped the ball it landed in 12 and your Pitt boss told me it was being treated as a floater and i wasn’t being paid out . What an absolute joke you stole 875 +150 from me in my 20 years of going to casinos i have never been treated like this and it will be my final time ever stepping foot in your casino said i been one of your best customers for 7 years… what happened to integrity ?

My family and I visited this casino. They play the machines but I go for the entertainment. Their cover bands are pretty good and I love their DJS. They play a lot of different genres. It's a great mix that gets the crowd moving. It is next to the bar on one side and off the main floor without interfering with the people who went to play the machines. The dance floor is pretty big. There are also restaurants with good food. A section to watch sports. A hotel and center for shows. You have to be 21 to get on the main floor with the slot machines. Lots of parking.
