There's a non-smoking section right next to the smoking area (and semi-surrounded by smoking slots), but it was slightly less smoky. Played my free play on the VoP machine (9/5? 8/6? It payed double on two pairs, that is all I care about) there which I found to be quite lucky, so I was up another $7.00. But the bartender was a little rude to me and failed to get my boyfriends drink order regardless of not being busy and us obviously being together. Walked up and found EDIT: A lucky machine. Usually a property knows if VP is considered slots or not. The lady at the desk (servicing high-teir guests) didn't know if I could use it for the VP machines, which I thought was funny.
Went through the casino, became a member they offered $10 fee slot play. Went in, smelled of smoke and such but not too bad. Parking was fine, didn't valet since I was not yet a member. I thought it was unprofessional, and off putting. Also, last time we attempted to go we were stopped by ununiformed people telling us it was a $50 parking charge (on a Sunday morning) because of a sports game.
First we considered Rivers, but several online reviews have said that the Rivers is extremely smoky, so we shied away. This past Saturday my boyfriend and I made it out to Pittsburgh and decided to go a bit south to the Meadows.
