Desert Diamond Casino offers a beautiful setting with clean and modern accommodations. The room I stayed in was spacious and well-maintained, making for a comfortable experience. The casino has a lively atmosphere and a good variety of gaming options, which I enjoyed. However, my overall experience was dampened by some weak customer service interactions. Additionally, experiencing itching while in the casino was quite unsettling, suggesting that cleanliness could be improved.

I had an overall positive experience at the resort. The rooms were spacious and modern, which made my stay comfortable, and the breakfast buffet offered a great variety each morning. However, I found the gaming area of the casino pretty overwhelming, and the smoking policy surprised me as it's not my usual environment. There are also some improvements needed in the customer service area, especially regarding their rewards program.
