We've lived in Southern California and it's mostly true what they say about "Mid-Western Mexican." This place is an exception - and they will hand-pour a margarita with fresh-squeezed lime if you ask for it!

This the upscale version of their pizza joint a few blocks away. Get a little dressed up for this place - they cater mostly to the skirt and sport coat crowd. You'll find them all here - at the bar, around the bar, in the dining room or attending a special event. Go ahead, let yourself feel a 'lil fancy for a few hours. My favorite: gluten-free, white pizza (with truffle oil), add some chicken breast!

Casino buffets aren't cheap-eats they were in the "Rat-Pack" era, but they are still just as tasty! We think you'll find this one a nice mix, and what heck - might as well see a show or play a few slots while your there! Free parking (always) in the Casino structure.
