text: This was my first time to Casino Monte Lago since it reopened It is pretty much like it used to be but I think they have fewer machines and the middle area seems more open than it used to bennIts a pleasant casino small and fairly quiet albeit I was there on a Saturday morning for the Dragon Boat racesnnSince it is on the far side of the valley from where I live this will not be a stop I will be making very often There are other good choices much closer to home
