Six ways to stay, and no bad one
From the standard room to the villa, the difference is space and view, never the quality of anything you touch.

Things worth getting up for
Most of this is included. Where it is not, the price is on the page rather than on the bill.
Everything here
The Floor
Gaming
Fifty-two thousand square feet lit to the level of a good bar rather than a supermarket. Eight hundred machines, 40 tables, poker nightly and a high-limit salon.
More
The Supper Club
Live music
Two sets a night, Wednesday to Sunday, booked by somebody who books players rather than names. No cover for guests.
More
The River
Outdoors
The riverfront is two blocks and there is a boardwalk the length of it. It is the only daylight we recommend.
More
The Reset
Wellness
Steam, cold plunge, a very dark room with beds in it, and breakfast brought without being asked for.
MoreEat and drink
The food, in order of appearance
The wine list stays close to home, the spirits list does not, and both are priced without theatre.
