King Elder Party Court - Rocklin

I'm very conflicted about my review. We came to see Elvis Costello and Daryl Hall...great show, Venue was beautiful, great seats even though we were in the top balcony, sound was great, all the staff friendly and helpful, nice bar close to our seats, bathrooms were spotless...however...walking through that smoke filled casino was nauseating! We really wanted to stop and eat at one of the restaurants before the show but lost our appetites and almost ran to get out of there. I really don't know if we would ever come back, which is sad because they can definitely open up gates to get to the Venue without going through that disgusting casino. I get it, they want you to gamble, but why drive away customers who don't have any interest in it, when they can at least give you the option to avoid it? Very frustrating.

I enjoyed our night together out, and walked with almost $300. Sweet, but thought of a 12 step group of people talking in the parking lot cracking up completely, it being 2:30-3am. Had to wait in line for a drink, no biggie, and it didn't talk long. All and all I would definitely go back! Thanks Thunder Valley family, took great care of us. Sincerely, Andrew Lowe

Had some fun today Lose slots nice to have some rare wins Was crazy busy with the free gift Watch out don't be fooled Print and sprint that cash

Fairly decent sized casino, but still kind of meh in terms of overall experience. If you're in NorCal and are an absolute slots machine lover, this place might hold you up just shy of going to either Reno or Vegas. They have slot machines for days. Roulette is my game of choice, but is kind of done weird here. The live roulette table is done by spinning a weird contraption that has slots for cards which determine the outcome. It's sort of like wheel of fortune when the dealer spins it. No actual ball mechanics on live roulette tables. I think it has something to do with California law mentioning gambling games' outcomes must be determined by a draw of a card or something. Only live Blackjack tables (no automated ones), and certainly no Craps tables of any kind. There is however automated roulette tables and although it'll say minimum bet is $1, some choices are actually $5 min. For an example, playing a line number is $1 min, but playing red/black or even/odd will be $5 min. The machines won't mention this. Also apparently there's no comped drinks? Cocktail waitresses will come and charge you on the spot. I didn't order but someone next to me did and I saw them get charged. Food court options were essentially designed for the palate of a 15 year-old. You have things like Subway, Pizza Hut, Panda Express, Ben Jerry's, and Fatburger. The smoking here is pretty freaking bad. Seemed like hella people were hardcore smokers. I mean these people probably could've just smoked the wrong side of a cigarette if they had the chance. I appreciated the no smoking slots room. I encountered several sketchy looking people roaming and following certain groups of people. There seemed to be decent security though and one of them eventually got pulled aside and questioned. I guess you gotta keep your wits about you. Also, there were no LuchaKitty slot machines. Booo! Personally this is ok for a day trip with friends and family who don't wanna travel too far if you're based somewhat close by, but honestly I'm saving all my humor for Vegas and to have a full on experience there instead.

It was really nice and thank goodness for the ac!!! Concert was nice and the ushers were awesome and professional my first time attending a concert there so my first time was overall great!!
