Rivers Casino Des Plaines

Stopped in here with my husband. I sat at the bar while he played poker. I wanted a drink, but something mild. What I requested the bartender had never heard of, so her manager pulled up Google and walla! Her first time making a Merlot/ Strawberry daiquiri, and it was AMAZING!!!!

Very nice casino, with different options to eat, not sure if this one had it but missed the courtesy drink station. I'm just taking a star because normally with a $300 budget I can play for hours because I keep losing and winning, and keep playing what I won but here it seems like I just kept losing and the money didn't last much.

We went to see Kenny G and it was a fantastic evening out for us! The venue was excellent as it was smaller than what we expected, therefore gratefully very intimate and personal. The room could be a concert hall or ballroom or meeting room, with comfort for all aspects of its use.Regardless where anyone sat, the view/access to the stage was perfect, as the distance between you and the stage is close.The sound system was as comfortable as those great chairs we sat in.......you could hear every note, every nuance with each song, plus any of the enjoyable repartee from Kenny himself, all while moving, swaying, and enjoying the memories flooding back.Kenny has remained the same wickedly talented master of music with unbelieveable control of every instrument he has ever played......and his band mates are as awesome and talented in their own sphere.We would so very much like to repeat last night over and over again......the Rivers Casino/Kenny G combination was a real gift.....outstanding evening. Our thanks to everyone!

The casino is decent for gambling, but be sure to bring some hand sanitizer because the chips are quite dirty and tend to stick together. Additionally, the waitstaff is on the slower side; it took 20 minutes to get a drink. I might give it another try in the future, hoping for a better experience.

This is a great venue with a spacious poker room that offers plenty of action. The competition is tough, and you won't find many inexperienced players here. They have a high hands promotion with a $500 payout every 45 minutes, which adds to the excitement. The lighting is good, the decor is appealing, and the overall cleanliness is commendable. The chairs are also quite comfortable.
