Themed hotel

Rooms The hotel has a total of 2,884 rooms, 220 of which are suites and it has received the AAA Four Diamond rating every year since 1999. Pirate theme The original theme was to attract families with pirate features including pirate battles staged each night in front of the entrance of the casino. This was abandoned in 2003 with kid-friendly areas being replaced by hot tubs, nightclubs and party bars to attract an adult audience.
