Lucky Eagle Casino & Hotel
Appreciated the spaciousness, cleanliness & layout of the guestroom. Was not a fan of the lightweight, and somewhat scratchy, blankets. Not sure if activity at the nearby gun range is normal but at least it stopped by 10:30 p.m. In the attached casino, the pizza restaurant staff were terrific!
