As a players club member, I never pay for the rooms so that's a major plus! Their updated pool area is something that you should definitely experience as well! With that being said make sure you get a card. The Grand Tower is great to stay at to get a little feel of luxury while still feeling comfortable, while the lodge is my second choice as it's separated from the casino and gives you that 'away from the casino break' that some people need.
Some of the staff at 1832 even has started to remember my name which is amazing customer service! The prime rib there is awesome! The hotels are always very clean, and the staff is always accommodating. Always a great meal at both and the staff at both are very friendly. First off the food, my two preferences are 1832 and Smashburger. I have never had a bad experience at Choctaw. Whether it's Oklahoma, Vegas, or Shreveport.
I am frequenter to many casinos and hotels.
