Crown Casino

Haven’t been to Crown for years. Casinos never interest me. I grew up waiting at the entrance/exit of a casino, almost. I don’t see what the excitement is about.

I have no respect for gamblers. No matter what they think, the fact is they, like smokers and drug addicts, just have no self-control.

service was not too bad. the waitress acknowledged us as soon as we enter and led us to our table. it is poor service when you walk into an eatery and feel lost or unwelcome or not knowing what to do next, whether to order at the counter or from the table.
