I still enjoy the vibe at the hollywood room personally, but I grew up playing there so it's definitely a sentimental favorite. Should be a simple fix but hasn't been so far. I've left early before because it's too cold, even with a jacket. I definitely know how to dress for a casino and it's still unbearably cold. The room temperature resembles a meat locker at times, most certainly late at night. For sure my go to because of location, game selection, ambience, food, parking, dealers, management, etc. Rivers is fantastic and games can be good, depending on one's definition of good. That and the toll is a deal breaker for me, save maybe 1-2 times a year. It's overwhelming, and not in a good way.
The smoke at the shoe just hits you so hard right when you walk in the door.
I live in the city so Elgin another 25ish mins for me, prefer the shoe to Elgin based on distance but the smoke smell gets to me these days a bit, and I'm a toll nit so hate the $13 lol. They also need all in buttons not sure what that's about, more than once I've seen confusion over that and it's an easy fix. Yeah the standard of play here is notably higher here than GVC, Shoe and RGC.
