It contains 148 rooms and 40 suites. The theme of the hotel is art deco. The second hotel, Veranda Tower, is more of a modern hotel, which was constructed in 1999. It contains 532 rooms and 36 suites. The largest hotel and final hotel completed, Terrace Tower, was completed in 2001 with more of a country inn-theme. It contains 563 rooms and 37 suites.
The Veranda and Terrace Towers are not connected to the casino, but located approximately ½ mile away. Complimentary shuttle service, which runs 24 hours a day, takes guests to and from the casino. The Casino Tower is located adjacent to the casino itself and is about 200 yd (180 m) away. There is a covered walkway in between the two. Shuttles also run to the RV Park.

Famous quotes containing the words facility and/or history:
“Virtue rejects facility to be her companion.... She requires a craggy, rough and thorny way.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
