Free wifi and tiny water bottles are standard in most KC hotels so it boils down to this: Guests get $5 of food credit for $12. That was unexpected and, frankly, unappreciated because it artificially raised the daily rate. If you pay for your meal with cash / credit, you forfeit the $5 credit. And its only for food charged to the room (not room service). The food credit is taken off when guests check-out of the hotel. Every day, guests pay $12 and in exchange get 2 mini bottles of water, internet access, and $5 food credit. It is not optional and not included in the rate quote. One thing to be aware of is the daily resort fee of $12. Our navigation system got 'confused' a few times trying to get us to the parking lot. There are multiple roundabouts and areas where the roads aren't finished. The roads around the property are a bit confusing. They allow smoking in the casino but not the hotel. We enjoyed slots and video poker but we did not play table games.

There are some shopping options (jewelry, purses, trinkets). Both were good (the buffet is a bit pricey). Guests turn on / off to indicate preference. We enjoyed the 'privacy' vs 'housekeeping' lights. They decorated for Christmas and it was gorgeous! The rooms are large and comfortable. It is as if you're outside walking in a Mediterranean town. I ended uo settling for a sandwich at Hops Bar outside the casino entrance and the food was not very good. Very disappointing the sandwiches were only served cold. A sign directed me to visit the Red Lotus for a limited supply of deli sandwiches. I was disappointed to see that the Leo's Deli was closed for renovation. I have been supporting this facility ever since it opened many years ago but the fun factor is gone for players such as myself. Just seems like the machines are getting tighter and tougher with every visit. I played the slots for several hours, however, was not very fun because the slot machines were not paying out very good. I was able to play all my favorite slot machines because it was not very crowded due the bad weather.

Every other part of this facility is non-smoking, however, i always notice an unpleasant old musty stale odor when walking through the main doors to the facility everytime i visit. The cigarette smoke is intoxicating and literally makes me feel sick. First of all, be aware that this casino is not smoke free. My recent visit to Agosy Casino on a very cold and snowy Saturday afternoon, Jan 11th, was a disappointing experience.
