Seneca Allegany Impressions

[Penguin]

Cathy and I spent last couple days at Seneca Allegany Casino and thought we would share our impressions from a first time trip. Let me just start out by saying that this will become our new local casino (3 hour drive).

Seneca Allegany is run by the Seneca Nation and is on the reservation. Don't even try to compare this one to the Native American casinos we see in Oklahoma (for instance). Beautiful location and scenery.

GOOD STUFF

Slot floor is very large. 1700 slots, but only a few table games. Lots of the older machines mixed in with newer stuff. For instance maybe 10% of the slots are older Aristocrats. So for us this gave chance for long play time. In fact we really played only pennies and our loss was 10.0% which really isn't too bad when compared to AC for example. They have a daily bonus tier credit system somewhat better than CET's system.

Rooms were nice and Cathy will post pics she took. Nice walk in shower and towels were the thickest I ever seen. Room had decent sized table and desk with 3 chairs. Floor to ceiling window. Bed very comfortable. Managed to sleep 10 hours one night and felt great when got up. Can control room temperature to your liking.

Drinks are free on the slot floor if playing or standing by your spouse if they are playing. We saw plenty of CWs and drinks were served within 10 minutes of ordering.

Casino is a smoking casino. However we were not bother by the smoke at all. However the slot supervisor I spoke to did say that Friday and Saturday nights are rough in this regard. There is a no smoking room (Turtle Island) with 144 slot machines.

Have never seen a cleaner casino. No ashes on the buttons and custodians plentiful picking up discarded glasses and cleaning ashtrays.

Also every machine we played had all buttons working.

Free valet for everyone.

BAD STUFF

Only 4 older Buffalo machines and 3 Buffalo Gold. There was Buffalo on Wonder and Tower Fours.[/B][/B][/B][/B]

Food at Upstairs Café and at Thunder Mountain Buffet was only fair. We did not eat at the upscale restaurants although I had heard good things about them.

CONCLUSION

Wished we had gone there years ago. These people care about providing service to the players.

As Darrell said, the room was very nice and very comfortable. Housekeeping even brought us an extra chair Mon. for our eclipse party with friends. Champagne and shrimp cocktail (smuggled in...no coolers allowed in the room). Only way to watch an eclipse!

Thanks for the assessment Penquins. Kevin and I may make a quick overnighter there again before the snow starts to fly. They still send me FP and I think I may have said in the past that I couldn't get a comp room but now I see on my flyer that they do offer me one. We usually stay in Erie across from Presque Isle Downs and travel the hour up to Seneca but since I never do well in Erie, we'll maybe take Seneca up on their hotel offer. I agree with the drink service. Last time there I remember having a pleasant buzz going on our drive back to Erie (Kevin was driving! )

Thanks for the report and your impressions on this casino. This is Ting's local casino and he has had quite a few hand pays there. Been thinking about doing a road trip up there next summer and maybe see the Falls again, haven't been in that area for almost 40 years.

Sounds like a great place. Allen has mentioned visiting the area one day soon, so it's nice to hear there is a good casino to hit up. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the info! We passed right by it on our way home (remember I said Bill was sleeping). It looked great from the outside. We also passed right by Presque Isle (we have been there once wasn't really impressed)as we were headed to Cleveland. If we travel East again we might try it out. Our friends in Cleveland have been to both but now pretty much only hit up Jacks or Rockcino (as they are so much closer). Thanks for sharing the info.

Gene,
There are 2 Seneca casinos. Alleghany and Seneca Niagara which is right on the American side of the falls. Are you sure Ting doesn't go to Niagara? I prefer Alleghany, not as close to Niagara Falls but a prettier casino.

DH and I have been going there since it opened. We stopped going for a while when Cleveland casinos opened. Now we have been going back. We have always loved it there. We love the high end food. The steak house is very good. We also love the room service there. If you get the high card from them. We are almost there again. The high limit lounge is very nice. We are going again in Oct. with a lot of us from the bar I work. If there is ever a M&G there I would love to go. Love the drive down Rt.86. Glad you enjoyed it as much as we do!!
