Another problem I've had with the hotel is my room key. Doing that however if you're carrying a backpack or luggage you get stop by security to have them check your bags before walking in.
Each time I have part I had to park in the back lot and unless you want to walk along the side of the building and along the front to get to the hotel entrance you can take one of the side entrances that leads into the casino. Unless you're willing to pay the five dollars a day to do valet parking plus tipping, you will need to self park which is free but depending on what time you try to park if the casino is busy and you'll be hard-pressed to find a parking spot and if you do you can expect a long walk to get to the hotel. On my third day of a 16 day stay and I and I have been so disappointed that I started looking at other area hotels.
