“The only negative was how busy it was, but that's just because it's the cheapest gas and tobacco in the county, it's stocked with a variety of things you didn't know that you actually want and need (gorgeous baskets, anyone?) And the employees are fast, courteous, and on the ball. Can't wait to go back with extra $ because I saw so many random things I have needed for awhile, and they have great prices.”

“This little casino is right off the freeway in between Ukiah and Willits. It's very clean and the best part is that there is no smoking! They have a steak restaurant and then a small counter area where you can order all kinds of delicious food like wings, pizza, sandwiches, tacos, ect. We played a few machines but ended up in the bar area just to watch a little bit of the UFC fight in two big screen tv's. which was free to watch by the way. We bought a card for Tap beer that you pour yourself and ordered some chicken wings. The fact that you can buy a $20 dollar beer card and try all kinds of beer is pretty awesome! The wings were amazingly delicious! We also got a pretzel with cheese and it was delicious too. The staff is pretty nice and friendly. Oh also the sodas, coffee are free while you are there. We really enjoyed our selves without spending a lot of money. We will definitely be back next time they have a fight or maybe live music to hang out for a few hours. They also have a hotel next door if you need to rest for the night and also a gas station.”
