The casino features four dining choices including a 300-seat buffet and a 24-hour cafe, along with two bar/lounges, one with live entertainment and VIP table service and a new bar, Chill, with a full selection of beer, wine, cocktails and your favorite slushy drinks.

A five-story, 1,200-space parking structure that includes a building extension with an additional coat check, rewards center, administrative offices, slot machines, bar and self-serve station was also added to the property in December 2018.
