Mount Airy Casino Resort - Mt Pocono, Pennsylvania

Was a very nice resort for a weekend getaway. Casino was not giving out much and the house was always winning. Guy Fieri's restaurant was great, I recommend the chicken wings, and their breakfast was delicious as well. The morning wait staff seemed rush and there were only about nine tables between three people. The hostess was extremely friendly but our waitress was lacking. The hotel room was great, very clean. The bed was very comfortable.

We love going here to gamble. It’s easy to get to and the surrounding area is fun to explore. The casino itself has a beautifully decorated entrance in the current seasonal theme. The gambling floor offers many options to suit your mood and the staff are friendly. Clean rooms if you plan to stay. There’s a beautiful golf course right across the little pond for those who play or just enjoy the view.

Wonderful place that offers good food and wonderful rooms. This casino resort is close to the outlet mall and other attractions. The staff is very accommodating and the pool is large and warm. Also I love the free valet parking! For the price this place makes you feel like you’re a millionaire.

A few things to know if you are visiting or considering the Mount Airy Casino Resort:
1. The casino itself has a smoking area which permeates into the hotel/resort and well past the smoking area of the casino. Be prepared to smell like cigarettes.
2. This was the first casino, for the days we were on the casino floor and in the poker room, to never be approached by a waitress to order drinks. We were told by the casino they were short staffed which explained the lack of waitresses but it was like nothing we have experienced at any casino. The bar area was also short staffed as well.
3. The resort/hotel is a 4 star hotel and there is a resort fee. There was no entertainment offered and the only resort option was an indoor pool. There was a spa but you have to pay.
4. The demographic of people staying at the hotel/resort was a bit rowdy. The room next to ours had a party. We had to call down to the front desk 4 times to get security to get them to quiet down. For a $420 night room, we expected our stay to be more peaceful and relaxing.
5. Staff at the hotel were great and very friendly, the rooms were updated and already outdated. The staff at the casino were meh. Did not go out of their way to assist, or welcome their guests.
6. You do not have a fridge in your room, for anyone planning to bring medications.
7. While the rooms were smoke free, people were smoking in their rooms. The smell of smoke will be everywhere from the hotel, restaurants, and casino. Had to step out several times to get a breath of fresh winter air.
8. The casino is cash only. The ATM has a $6 surcharge so bring cash!
9. You have to pay for WiFi after the first day. I’ve stayed at resort hotels and this was really surprising they would charge guests a fee for WiFi.
10. Nothing on the Mt. Airy websites works, from booking a room to express check out. It gives a system error. The fridge in our room with the alcohol was not accessible to purchase as the system for that was out of order.

I really wouldn’t recommend Mt. Airy. There’s a lot the hotel needs to address before claiming they deserve to be one of the nations top ten resort casinos.

We tried this resort for the first time this weekend and we cannot say enough about the friendliness of staff and the cleanliness of the rooms and the resort: the pool area was amazing! It has its own vibe of serenity away from the busy casino. Our room was impeccable. We live in the Philly burbs and will never do AC again after this experience! Thank you for such a great weekend! Can’t wait to get back!

My husband and I needed to get away for a few days. Like most people we work a lot. The Poconos sounded like a nice peaceful place to get away. The Mount Airy lodge looked so pretty and it was. The rooms are modern and beautiful. The beds were so super comfortable I slept like a baby. Nice big screen TV. Everyone was polite. Restaurants on premise are all very good. We don't gamble but that was ok we went out to the shopping outlets, found an antique shop, went to a pool hall. The on-site Spa services are nice. But very expensive. I did however get my nails done and I forget the young ladies name but she was so nice and calm took her time and gave me the best manicure I ever had. Also can just pull your car up to valet, it's free but of course it's proper to tip. Most of all everyone from front reception to restaurants and maid service was so nice and friendly and that goes a long way when you just want to get away and feel some peace.

Poker room is modern, buy in at table is good.
Outside of that, not great.
Table itself was claustrophobic, 10 handed.
One player talking to another constantly from one end of the table to another coaching a new player he was with. Talking in hands and coaching isn't allowed and shouldn't be in any circumstance. First dealer warned him lightly, second dealer laid in to him which was the right thing to do.
The game itself was slow. Interruptions, slow dealers, etc.
Smoke from the casino floor comes in to the poker room ventilation isn't great but not the worst room in this respect.
Only two tables running.
$75 high hand every two hours is an absolutely glacial pace and small payout, but I understand for the size of the room.
Dirty chips.
Not worth the drive unfortunately, I'll trust the reviews on Poker Atlas next time.

Let me be clear when I say this one star is not for the hotel. This is for Lucky 8 and the super rude management I experienced tonight! I waited over 40 minutes for my take out order of wonton soup and steamed dumplings only to receive three mini dumplings with no wrapper on them in a partially filled container of broth and 6 supermarket frozen section dumplings that I paid$27 for. Then the manager yelled at me for walking in to grab my food because she never communicated that our food was done and she needed to bag it up.

I've never been so disrespected at this establishment in all my times coming here. My husband and I come to the casino for our "do nothing" vacations and thoroughly enjoy ourselves every time. We go to the buffet, pay half the price, eat very well, and never have been talked to like I was tonight!

I won't be going back to Lucky 8. I don't feel lucky at all!
