We were somewhat apprehensive after reading reviews complaining about smoke odor. Not only did we not notice smoke but the rooms were beautiful. My brother and I obtained Hero player cards upon our arrival which gained us discounts for everything and a free night. Casino was not too crowded (even on Sunday), not smoky and relatively subdued compared to many that are overly loud. Especially enjoyed the Water Lilly lounge with 99%+ bartops and their appetizer/sandwich type menu. We received free nights and plan on making the 5 hour drive from the NW Chicago burbs again soon. The 'Eagle' has instantly become our favorite midwest casino! markglim
