Way to go at Firekeepers Marie. I saw a sign for it in Indiana, near Fort Wayne and I was wondering how it was. As for Four Winds, I too, haven't had a winning session the last couple times I have been there either. As for their hotel the rooms are fantastic but becuase there is a very limited amount they are tough to get and you need to book them well in advance.

ty Ted and vido. Ted, Four Winds mails out free room offer after first visit and this may account for the lack of room availability. Agreed, their rooms are really great! You're right, vidopoker, it seems newer casinos are including that most welcome beverage station and it is up to us to let them know they are appreciated!
After playing awhile at FireKeepers, I realized how uncomfortable I was leaning over to play and having the sensation my legs were about to fall off. Okay, the swivel, cushioned chairs were great and I did not get around to checking if they were adjustable in height. I did finally realize that black slanted strip at the machine base and length of the bank was not part of their cool decor but rather a foot rest designed for MY comfort! That great foot rest seemed to be throughout the casino. I do not care if it was an after add on because the designer was a tall person and needed no foot rest or part of the original plan. That foot rest made VP play much more enjoyable and first time I have seen it in a casino! I can only hope the powers that be are reading about what we prefer and LIKE to see in casinos to entice us to play there longer.

Welcome to forum, missy. We were at FireKeepers last Thurs, also, for almost six hours. Maybe you would have won more had you stayed longer? Ceiling lighting was cool as well as that huge green water fall wall at the buffet entrance. Pretty use of small green glass tiles in buffet and restroom. One self-service beverage station is just beyond the buffet and the other on the opposite far back corner. They have five restaurants. Since the casino is all on one floor and there's no lodging, I did not figure out what is beyond the up escalator. The names of the casino and restaurants indicate Native American but nothing in the decor represents that heritage.

Negative. Just small horizontal rectangular transparent green glass wall in the buffet and small squares of same in restroom. These glass tiles have been showing up at restaurants all over the place in recent years, often in those being updated/renovated. Nice variety.

uh the glass is transparent but the wall is opaque. nice try
