On our way back home to Maryland we briefly visited Cape Henlopen State Park and Rehoboth Beach, which aren't really that far from Dover. We made numerous trips to Byler's store for ice cream and goodies. It was pleasant to walk through historic Dover. We went sightseeing in Dover to take a break from the casino. There is, however, more parking farther out towards the actual casino entrance. There is ample parking (outdoor, no parking garage), though the spots close to the main hotel entrance fill up more quickly. It would be nice if the bar offered pretzels and/or nuts to snack on. Thursday was a more subdued atmosphere, but there wasn't that particular popular band there.

It got crazy on the dance floor as the night went on though. We listened to a great band Friday night at the Fire & Ice lounge.

The gift shops were somewhat disappointing, very small with not much of a selection at all. Another time my husband and I shared a pizza which came with a large portion of bread at Frankies in the food court area and it was maybe $10. If you join the Capital Club you get a couple-dollar discount off your meals. I didn't care so much for the seafood dinner buffet, but others seemed to really enjoy it. There is plenty of food to suit all sorts of tastes at a reasonable price. We ate at the Festival Buffet once at all three meals. It was quiet, but might not be best for those with mobility issues. Our room was on the opposite end from the elevator. The elevator is at the end of the long corridor of rooms, not in the middle. My only complaint is that there are no shelves at the back of the shower to place your shower toiletries. It had a nice tv with a good selection of channels. The bed was extremely comfortable compared to others we've slept in at other hotels. If you don't bet the farm at the casino, the rooms and food are quite reasonable. We're not big gamblers, but wanted to stay in a nice hotel that was a little more special than the average chain hotel. My husband and I enjoyed a 2-night stay at the hotel for a short getaway.
