I would only come to this Casino to leave my last few dollars in the "Wheel Of Un-fortune" while, someone in my party waited in Line for a seat at the Oyster Bar for a bowl of the Combo Roast & fresh oysters. After my last visit on 4/22/14, this will be another stop to delete from my usually path home to L.A. We ordered a half dz. of the oysters. i should have asked about them first but, I never ate a FRESH oyster I didn't like so why would I now. At first, I noticed that my appetizer wasn't being shucked. Usually you see the shucker prying open the oysters and 10 minutes later your appetizer comes out. i saw none of this going on. It was like there was a plate of oysters in front of us and they looked odd and tasted even worse. The consistency was off. I asked the helped (Not a shucker because that process didn't seem to happen)what kind of oysters they were and where they were from? She said GOLD BAND!. I notice all the oysters on ice had a Gold rubber Band holding the shell halts tightly together. The helper said, "They are from Louisiana." I quickly looked it up on my cell phone as when I was in NOLA for Mardi Gras and took a drive outside of town on the way to Baton Rouge I had not encounter any such horrible shell fish. GOLD BAND Oysters: Preshucked and are Pasteurized. GROSS! I gave the Hotel & Casino 2 stars for their clean up efforts as it was immediate noticed by the lack of smelly carpet when you walked in the main entrance. also the Combo Roast lacked pieces of shrimp, lobster and crab and tasted like catsup & heavy cream cooked separately and added together. The cook tried to disguise the lack of sea food with a lump of over cooked, bottom of the barrel rice in the center featured like a scoop of ice-cream. The end of an era for me. I've been coming to this Oyster Bar for 25 years.
