Mt Airy Casino Resort

Stopped by last weekend when it was too cold to ski. The casino wasn’t too busy during the afternoon and the blackjack tables had reasonable limits ($ 10-​$ 15). Both the Red Mango my wife got and the food we had at Guy Fieri’s weren’t much to write home about (maybe we’re spoiled by NYC quality food). Il Mulino wasn’t open yet, but I’d try that next time.

My first time here was Saturday, October 25, 2014. I love it! I enjoyed myself so much that I haven’t stopped talking about it and already making plans to return. I play slot machines, craps, roulette, blackjack and Caribbean stud poker and the only game they didn’t have was Caribbean stud poker so I was a happy girl!!! I went with my best friend and we play different things so we would just meet at the bar in the middle of the room every once in a while. I never felt overwhelmed or out of my league my entire visit. I’m not a long time blackjack player and none of the other players on the table made me feel uncomfortable to play. It was a great first time experience and can’t wait to go back!!!

I was just here last week on my mother’s (!) recommendation and was very pleasantly surprised. It looks pretty brand spanking new and located on the edge of the Pocono mountains, which is part of its charm. Sure it’s sort of out of the way, but it’s the Poconos, so pretty much everything else is.
The great part of the location is that other fun activities are within short driving distance. The Great Wolf Lodge is just 5 mins down the road. There are numerous outdoor adventure and theme parks within the area. It’s ensconced near the Delaware river where I saw many small shops renting canoes and kayaks to the water sports crowd.
The interior is a nice size and was pretty crowded on a lazy summer Saturday. Part of the reason is that they are marketing the tar out of the place via giveaways right now. Every week, they are giving away houseware type items. It was ice tea maker day the day I went, and my mom was able to snag one when she wasn’t losing money at the penny slots.
There was very little smoking inside which was a breath of fresh air, pardon the pun. Most of the smokers the day I went were being courteous and doing it outside on the many benches the resort had placed, facing a nice pond with the forest in the background.
I ate at the buffet restaurant for lunch which had an excellent range of food. There were salad items galore for the vegan crowd in the center area if you’ve turned back on your human heritage.
The table game dealers were all friendly and took all the ribbing I gave them when I lost, and was cheering for me when I won. I was surprised how fast the time went and was able to leave the place with enough money to pay for my next visit, which I will be doing as soon as I get a chance, wearing my hiking boots. It just wouldn’t be fair to ignore all the other things you can do in the area.
