High ceilings are hung with grand, modernist chandeliers with red, yellow, and silver bubbles. Common areas are nicer than expected, but the overall effect is a bit cheesy. I keep telling myself it's my skill, but we all know better! By the way, this casino is very close to the newly opened Golden Nugget in Lake Charles and they even have a free (don't forget to tip the driver) trolley between the casinos.The center of the Golden Nugget Biloxi is its large 24-hour casino. I definitely will re-visit the L'Auberge as soon as I can, particularly if they keep allowing me to win at video poker.

We were there on a Thursday evening and although somewhat busy, still significantly slower than you would typically see in Vegas. But, probably to be expected due to the lower flow than a Vegas casino typically gets. One of the few drawbacks to these type of non-Vegas casinos is that they do adjust their payouts and maximum bet amounts on some slots, which tends to make it a little more costlier than some of the same slots in Vegas. They also have self-help soda/coffee bars available and the players card staff (M圜hoice) as well as waiters/waitresses are very friendly. The casino is about as large as many of the Vegas casinos and staff are very attentive to customer needs. In fact the progressive dollar machines made it up to about $5,900 that evening but, alas, I did not hit the Royal Flush. Saw first-hand another adjacent player with fairly large wins within an hour on video poker. Although their Jacks or Better played nicely as well. My play was typically on the dollar Double Bonus or Double Double Bonus video poker machines. Most players are always looking for that elusive 10/7 video poker machine and, while there aren't any here, there are some very good 9/6 and 9/5 machines in varying shades of video poker. While my wife concentrated on the slots I had some nice success at video poker. Our recent comp stay at the L'Auberge in Lake Charles was excellent! Not only did we fare well at the slots and video poker, but had a very nice comped room at their hotel.
