The wait-staff is always very friendly and accommodating Seating is quite pleasant with nice sized tables and comfortable chairs. There is the soup, salad and dessert bank tucked into the 'L' formed. To the left and end is the actual buffet. The ceiling tiles over most of the buffet are studded with a multitude of LED lights to simulate a star light sky giving a lovely ambiance. I see they are moving away from the green tones to the blue tones with their recent renovation. The general layout of the buffet is quite lovely. My gosh, I think we have stopped at the Firefly Buffet at Soaring Eagle ever since the resort was built.

I'm particularly fond of the spa facilities at Soaring Eagle but I'm not sure Many of these casinos offer excellent live entertainment also available to the general public. There are very few foods offered on these buffets that could not be made at home which is one of their appealing features. If you want home cooked style foods the buffets really have it. All of the restaurants are open to the general public so you do have to gamble to enjoy their good food. Most offer all three dining styles although the smaller one may not. Their restaurants range from the lower end deli to the mid-range buffets to the higher end restaurants.

Their banquet facilities for special events are top notch. Today's casinos are much more than just gambling establishments. We stayed there overnight then headed out mid-afternoon on our final destination of home.

Once we left the kids we headed north to Turtle Creek Casino & Hotel in Traverse City, Michigan where we stayed overnight then left there for Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.
