Played in the Monday madness poker tournament was 30 people left they moved me tables after my blind which was quite high already to another table didn't play a hand sat for one minute moved me to another table at the big blind position when the hand was over they busted the table and moved me to another big blind when I asked the guy with the ponytail he said that just happens sometimes. I have played hundreds of poker tournaments and never has that happened they know if you are in a big blind and swap tables with 7 other people they wouldn't put you in the big blind again.

Well, went to the river cree last night. Myself being indigenous and my husband being white. We both work 12 hrs days and weekends. Being a Stat the next day (so both having Saturday off) we decided to get together with family and friends. We are all between 30-45. Anyways It was a very disappointing experience, As the bartenders cut off the sober non indigenous people and allowed the rest of us that where very intoxicated to drink. The security even went as far as to surround our vehicle and harass my 6 month pregnant SOBER white sister in law. As well, the said bartender tried to give me a bill for drinks ordered that we never received that were never made!! If you want a night out and a good time with family and friends and aren't a regular or a drunk teenager, avoid at all costs. Over priced. Rude and ignorant staff at the main bar, Especially the female bartenders. Definitely do not recommend for any evening of enjoyment. Oh and a question for River Cree: how hard is it to make a Double Rye and Coke, A Rye and Coke, a Double Rye and Gingerale ?And when your bartenders make a mistake you get dirty looks and they want you to pay for THIER mistake? And want a tip? Absolutely worst experience of our lives. Thanks for making sure 8 plus people will NEVER return. Still cannot believe the racism, and derogatory comments and atmosphere. If I could put ZERO stars I would.

I had an outstanding experience at a recent conference held at River Cree. The staff were all very helpful, prompt and efficient. The room was excellent however the shower had soapy film on the wall furthest from the shower head. Really liked having the pool and hot tub to use. The food was great - loved the breakfast egg, avocado bun. Loved the indigenous pictures and decorations inside and out. I was there about six months ago for a physic medium and agree that seating would be better on risers. Great facility and felt safe with all the security throughout. Kudos.

We went to the Kitchen Restaurant for the Saturday night BBQ buffet. Great selection of food, the brisket is awesome. Pasta station was great too. Decent dessert selection also.

Attended a concert here on a weekend. Highly recommend car pooling and parking at the back of the casino to avoid long lines getting out. There wasn't enough parking and people were double parked. If it is also raining, it will be very muddy in the back lot area.The concert itself had comfortable chairs, great sightlines even from almost the back. I would attend another event at this location. I cannot comment on the rooms or service as I didn't experience them.

Loved everything accept for the fact that I didn't win and lost most of my spare cash. I played a lot of games on many variety of slot machine/VLT and yet couldn't win a dollar for the life of me. I guess it's all about the timing!

The staff here is top notch! This huge bearded guy, who I can only describe as a cross between Cocaine Bear and John Candy was way too drunk to be in public. The staff immediately noticed and escorted him out gently and made sure he got into a cab safe and sound..... also...there was a guy fist fighting his sister outside...so maybe only 4 stars...

People are super nice & friendly but prices are extremely expensive. The room our Friends stayed in was small & not worth almost $300.00! Also, a non-alcoholic drink was almost $5 & we didn't even bother to eat there. Too bad.

I visited River Cree for the first time in 14 years on Thanksgiving Friday; I'm an out of city resident. The energy of the place was felt from the parking lot, it was a good vibe ✨️ The security at the doors were friendly and the gift shop associate was very helpful and had such a positive attitude.It was a very busy night and the amount of atms available for patrons was fantastic.The outside aesthetic was such a joy to take in - the tipis lining the road were a beautiful site.The washrooms were very clean and no lines at all.I didn't win (?) but I will definitely return when I can ?Walkability: It was very accessible which was fantastic as I'm on crutches.

I stay at the River Cree for work. I often visit with friends and family, including an Enoch member we know.Most trips are great! I love the building and rooms.I never had issues, until this recent trip (Oct. 24/27th,2023). I was placed on the 3rd floor, far from elevator, hoping for quiet. I ended up feeling unsafe from a room next door. I woke to loud, drunk people who wanted to keep partying.They invited guests who weren't registered and had security had to uninvited the guys. The noise was unsettling, and I didn't sleep.I don't party and now will ask how many people are next to me and be vigilant now.I don't want to be a bummer for people having fun,but a sober floor would be nice.I have had to do some cleaning on surfaces that get ignored and are always dirty.Phone, clock, remote control, under the faucet and bathtub.I have a compromise immune system, so I need to be careful.It's important that I can be safe & healthy to do my community work.I look forward to my next stay!Housekeeping needs a bit more detailing. Otherwise, they are very important for the overall success of the hotel.Rooms: Nice and comfy if you have no loud partying or late night noises.Safety: Although many security are visible in the casino, it would be good to have information on when or how security can help or a line directly to them.Food & drinks: My potatoes are always cold.Noteworthy details: I enjoy the friendly staff, especially the Indigenous people.
