Just a wonderful friendly town to visit, not to mention gorgeous. Lots of popping in and out of different casinos and restaurants was a fun experience. I proposed to my wife in the corner gazebo at the "T" in the road over eight years ago and we just really love the town. It brought back so many good memories from back then. At that time there was a live band playing in the gazebo and they sang us a song after she said yes. Our first dance as fiancés.
Being on the mountain, the free shuttle bus is amazing. The most adorable quaint casino town.
