We had that the first night and it was good. The food court had plenty of options including an Arthur Treacher's Fish. The views were very nice-maybe prettier than Cherokee. We spent two nights at Murphy over the weekend-as mentioned, not as cushy as Cherokee. They served deli-tray type meats & cheese. Cocktails in the Diamond Lounge are half price -we had good lemon drops for $4 each! The hostess also said you could take them to the floor. We usually just bought a soda at the food court on the way in.

We never thought it was too smokey, and music on Friday night wasn't too loud-on Saturday night it WAS louder, but just 'saturday night' loud,then quiet again Sunday. Also, as mentioned, there doesn't seem to be any older style three reel, one line games (DoubleDiamond, Wild Cherry, Triple Diamond, etc). The casino has lots of games including plenty of video poker-however, the multi-game menus are quite hard to navigate and there is not any VP under the. Cocktail servers on the casino floor can get you standard Harrah's Douwe Egberts coffee, but those folks are pretty scarce. The ONLY coffee in the food court is Starbucks (not a fan). Earl of Sandwich and Nathan's Hot Dogs was good too.
