Sadly, we drove quite a ways to spend a night at Tachi Palace Casino. We were not really impressed with anything about it. The parking is horrible, especially if you are a guest at the hotel. If you park in the back you have to walk all the way around the front. If you park in the front you have to walk all the way across the front of the casino to get to the hotel. Very guest unfriendly. We did not really get a comfortable Vibe about anything here. The staff was not very friendly at all. As soon as we walked in the door the security people tried to stop us, and turn us around to walk back out to another entrance to the hotel instead of just walking through the casino. Then when I came back in another security person stopped me and forced me to stand in front what appeared to be a facial recognition camera. I had to move back and forth several times so he could supposedly take my temperature. We travel the country constantly, and I have never had to do this at one place until now. The rules and regulations seem very intrusive. I love the signs posted saying (We reserve the right search you and your bags at any point during your stay) It really gives you that - everyone that comes here is a possible terrorist feel about the place. I have never seen that anywhere before. The thousands of places we have stayed, have never experienced this type of environment, except maybe going through the border of mexico, or possibly through the TSA checkpoints at an airport! Terrible environment! Now I know how Andy Dufresne felt in Shawshank Redemption. We almost felt like we were working for them, and should be honored that they allowed us to even stay in this place. The people at the reservation desk are not very accommodating. We upgraded to the Executive Suite up on the 7th Floor which did not seem like a suite at all. The carpet is filthy, the room is not very well set up, the balcony is barely 2 ft wide so you can hardly stand out on it. The top drawer in the bedroom dresser was full of somebody else's garbage and had never been checked. There was nothing special about the room whatsoever. I don't believe I saw one person winning anything. It just seemed like the casino was capitalizing on the locals and the migrant Farm workers to support keeping the doors open, while they continue to expand every aspect of the compound, except of course customer friendly parking. Overall just a crappy atmosphere, and we will never return
