    (5/5) I Came to…read moreGamble...I Left with New Friends and a Slight Liver Injury Visited: Tuesday, July 28, 2026 I've played blackjack in casinos from Oakland to Reno to Vegas Montreal to Detroit to Tunica, Mississippi to Atlantic City hell even to Metropolis, Illinois. This little casino just off from Charleston, West Virginia? Best. Single. Casino. Experience. Of. My. Life. No, it isn't the biggest casino. No, it isn't the fanciest. The décor has an older, darker feel with warm tones, and some people might describe it as a little worn. I'd describe it as comfortable enough to accidentally spend your mortgage payment in. My buddy Brett and I sat down expecting to kill an hour before continuing our drive to Pittsburgh. Three hours later... ...we were still there laughing our heads off. The blackjack tables were outstanding. The players actually knew how to play, which meant no endless debates over whether to hit a 17 or split tens. The games moved at a great pace, everyone was having fun, and despite only walking away about $40 ahead, I honestly couldn't have cared less. In fact, I probably tipped away more than I won. Worth every dollar. Then there was Dakota. Dakota isn't just the best blackjack dealer I met on this trip... He's one of the most entertaining dealers I've ever played with. Somewhere between doubling down and busting the table, we learned he plays bass for the West Virginia metal band Dismember the Outcome. By then the table had become less of a blackjack game and more of a comedy club. We laughed so hard that I genuinely forgot I was gambling. That has never happened before. And then there was the pit boss. I think his name was Dave. Imagine a sharply dressed casino supervisor making sure every blackjack payout is correct...then casually jumping into a conversation about the Lamb of God concert he had attended. That's when I realized this place was different. Behind every suit was somebody you'd happily have a beer with. Speaking of beer... Whoever told me drinking is West Virginia's state sport may have been onto something. Because the real MVP of the afternoon was our cocktail waitress. At one point Brett and I had become just intoxicated enough to loudly yell across the casino for another well vodka shot and Diet Coke. Classy? Absolutely not. Professional? Definitely not. Her response? Without missing a beat she smiled across the casino floor and said, "I gotcha, hun." I swear she covered fifty yards faster than a wide receiver running a post route. By the time I blinked, the drinks were already sitting in front of us. There are Southern belles... ...and then there are Southern cathedral belles. She moved through that casino like the patron saint of thirsty blackjack players. If that's what being welcomed through the Pearly Gates feels like, sign me up. And if, through some clerical error upstairs, she's tending bar somewhere a little warmer... ...well, at least I know the cocktail service will be phenomenal. By the time we left, I'd probably spent almost $100 tipping dealers and cocktail staff, and I don't regret a penny of it. Casinos often try to impress you with marble floors, giant chandeliers, and flashy architecture. Mardi Gras Casino impressed me with something much rarer. People. Wonderful dealers. An unforgettable pit boss. Fantastic cocktail service. A table full of smart players. And enough laughter to carry us all the way to Pittsburgh. Five stars without hesitation. We'll be back. And when we do, somebody tell Dakota to shuffle up...we've got another three hours of stories to tell.

    Solid 3.5. It's older hotel which is undergoing some renovations. The fitness room is not useable…read morecurrently (which is a deduction because we always stay where we can either get a workout or pool time in) The rooms are nice. Shower head is kind of low... nipple height for a 6 foot person. I liked the breakfast bar. Staff was extremely friendly. The Casino was a blast. Despite losing, we felt the slots let you play and we could've left up earlier but we were having fun. We visit a lot of Casinos and this was definitely a good one

    Sleep Inn Winfield - Teays Valley - view from 4th floor backside room.  Not horrible at all.  But the front seems to be a better option.

    The room was clean, and the employees were so kind. They have popcorn and cookies when you come in…read morethe afternoon and it was a nice touch. Comfy beds too. 10/10 recommend

    Beautiful new hotel with hardly anyone there at 6PM when Walked in to the lobby with no one on the…read morecounter. Then a young lady sitting in the lobby with another lady got up and met me at the counter. Whilst checking in, I asked for a room with a good view and made mention the last place I asked for a good view, they put overlooking the parking garage. I then asked about snack machines and she informed the nook to the left was snacks for purchase and that there was free popcorn in the dining area. Asked about ice machines and was informed ice machines were on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors. Was then that I realized I was assigned a 4th floor room (yep - no ice machine even close). Went to the room and my view was a rock side of the mountain approx. 30' from my room. yeah, disappointing. Outstanding room, but nothing indicating commerce in the area, especially local places to eat. Just turned around and left to go find some place for dinner. The breakfast offered the next morning was outstanding. Frankly, it was probably one of the best hotel breakfast that I have had in years. Went to the counter for check out with two lady's at the counter, but wasn't greeted our asked about my stay. Told the lady in front of me I was checking out, but she deferred to the lady beside her. Gave her my keys and she turned around, plucked my receipt and said here you go. That's it.. So - Be aware that this is an awesome hotel staffed by folks with zero people skills. If you are assigned a room facing the back, you will be looking at dirt and rocks. Not the worst, but just so you know.
