Houston vs lake charles weather1/22/2024 ![]() ![]() State Park-owned kayaks (provided with the floating campsite rental) were a lot nicer and cleaner in comparison. The rental kayaks and life-vests were not well-maintained. We were able to rent kayaks (unaffiliated with the State Park) on-site to tour the marsh trails. Park personnel were friendly and helpful. The park is nice, clean, and uncrowded during the week. We wanted to check out the floating campsite and marsh trails at Sea Rim. I love the huge walk-in showers! Staff are super friendly from front desk to security to cocktail servers to casino cashiers!īe sure to use the Waze GPS app to avoid highway construction and possible closures along I-10 in Texas and Louisiana … it saved me hours of wasted time sitting in traffic! No, it’s not as fancy as Golden Nugget but it’s closer to Houston, the comps are great and the hotel rooms are really nice. Brighter, cleaner, more vibrant, frequent cocktail service! (That’s not a good thing!) Unless you love the feel of vintage Las Vegas, stick to the main casino floor. It just didn’t feel like a high-limit area and reminded me of the penny slot area of one of Boyd Gaming’s Vegas locations. Getting cocktail service was few and far between. The machines seemed outdated and the ones I played needed to be wiped down. In fact, I didn’t play long in that area as it seemed dingy and dirty. Why can’t the hot tub at least be used year-round? More food options are coming and the new sports book just opened … I laughed at the random sports you could place bets on! I think the “high-limit” gaming area is in drastic need of updating … it’s off to one side in its own area and didn’t feel as nice, fresh, new and clean as the main casino floor. During my September stay, it was closed for the season even though daytime temps were still hitting 90+ degrees. In June, I was going to sit in the hot tub … went down around 9:30p and a sign said that it was closed even though the hours posted that it was open until 10p. I wish the pool area could stay open later and that it wasn’t “seasonal” as I only got to enjoy it during my July stay. My only real complaint would be the smoke … whether packed with weekend players or sparsely populated, I think it reeks of cigarette smoke and needs more or better air filtration. A random Thursday - I came out ahead and last Friday, I managed to break even. I came home with $1200 more than I went with! During the fall, my offer has been complimentary night Sunday-Friday and I’ve stayed twice. During the summer, the offer changed to 2 complementary nights Sunday-Thursday and I booked a 2 night weekday getaway. I lost during that stay but relative to what the room, comp’d food and free play would have cost. Shortly after, I received an offer for up to 2 consecutive complimentary nights with no restrictions except holidays so I reserved Friday & Saturday. My first visit, I came out ahead and played using the Boyd Gaming B-Connected Card. Have played here 5 times and stayed here on 4 separate gambling treks … very appreciative of the monthly rewards / offers! ![]()
