Originally it was on the right as you entered the lobby, past the elevators. Then they moved it across to the left side of the lobby. Where is it now?

It was always a pretty quiet place, especially in the days when the dealers all wore tuxedos. Like something out of an old James Bond movie. They filmed Godfather 2 there, Mr AE was in a few casino scenes, but ended up on the cutting room floor.
its on the left, behind the front desk. You walk down a short hallway with 3 or 4 shops. The dealers wear bow ties. It's nice and clean. I usually wait there until my girlfriend is finished getting ready for dinner. Not many high rollers at all. I do like the hotel.

I had no idea Godfather 2 was filmed there. Pretty cool. I knew the place is very old. I also like lazing around the pool after work. I am a big service guy, and their service is top notch. Seems to be a lot of weddings there as well.

Big,

All those “ Cuba” scenes were filmed in DR from what I understand.

As for rey,

Are you saying you are going to a casino to lose no more than 50 bucks for the night?

I don’t go to casinos much but that seems low for a casino night.

Thanks for the insight


PS. You or your girl live in the hotel ? You mention you wait for her as she is getting dressed
