But there is everything there that you would find at any vegas casino. Not as crowded as the Indian Casinos which may become the downfall. There are many different slots, table games, places to eat, poker, hotel, everything you would expect from a casino. I live about 45 minutes from Del Lago and I'm there a couple times per week. (OK, I had slightly better oysters and shrimp in seaport cities, but having chilled oysters included in a $22 casino buffet already surpassed my expectation). Each course was a surprise how good a buffet can be. And the food quality was fantastic: while I have seen slightly better presented food at high end hotel buffets (for at least thrice this price) anything I ordered tasted excellent. Excellent selection (seafood, multiple ethnic stations, multiple carving stations, incredible selection of desserts, etc.) for a very reasonable price. (One temporary compliant: it was really cold in the room today.) What pushed the place to be unequivocally 5-star is their buffet. Poker room is nicely designed and well maintained with good equipment, nice high-hand offers, professional yet friendly staff and a good mix of players. I have not seen baccarat, high roller clubs, or anything exotic, but I am no gambler, so don’t miss those. This one is really nice: the overall design and atmosphere is on par with Vegas establishments and there are free drinks, no smoking, etc. I do not like casinos in general, but do play poker, so visit them from time to time.

Also, the choices of restaurants pale in comparison to almost any of the hundred or so casinos I have been to in my lifetime. I would not recommend this casino to anyone.I know plenty of local people who quit coming to delLago for the reasons listed above. If I went to these casinos as much as I go to delLago, the comps would be unbelievable. I also get every free give- away they offer. I go to Turning Stone, Borgata, and Seneca Niagara a few times a year, and receive 25 to 70 dollar free plays, free room offers, and food vouchers all year. They must contact them when payout percentage is lowered, and they have. We have seen payouts drop dramatically, as delLago has lowered the minimum payouts that are approved by New York State.

We do not get any give-aways or food offers other than a buy one get one buffet. We receive a five dollar per week free play, and that is all. My wife and I have acheived Elite status, second from the top card, due to money put through the machines and tier points earned. That is about 750 days out of the 790 they have been open. I have been to delLago Resort and Casino almost every day since they opened.
