Open 24 hours a day, the Parlor has its own bar as well as a smaller slot machine area in the part that is separated from the poker games. Although I don’t know how to play Poker, I preferred the upstairs Poker Parlor because it is non-smoking and a bit quieter. (That’s the only place that you can’t take pictures.) On the first floor, there are 1,800 slot machines and 80 table games. Reggie and I also tried our hand at the casinos on Saturday night. Meanwhile, Reggie appreciated the flat screen TV and the large bathroom. The bed and the Gilchrist & Soames lotion were my favorites. The pillow-top bed was so comfortable that I didn’t want to leave the room. (It is the only Poconos resort with this honor.) The new Mount Airy Casino Resort has even earned the AAA Four Diamond Award designation for six straight years. Since 2007, Mount Airy Casino Resort has been privately owned by the DeNaples family so it’s a fairly new property. 🙁 The old commercials that all of us remembered were based on the Mount Airy Lodge that was torn down.

When I said that I was going to Mount Airy, friends asked about the heart shaped “love” furniture and the champagne tubs. I will wrap up the series focusing on the health and pampering (my favorite!) aspect of the resort – the pool, spa and salon, fitness center and golf course.

I will write about the delicious food and restaurant in the second post. In this first one, I will share about the rooms, casino and some of the entertainment.

There were so many great aspects of this Poconos resort that I will be sharing about everything over the course of three posts this week. My husband Reggie and I had an amazing time as media guests of the Mount Airy Casino Resort in the Poconos this past weekend. When relevant, posts are sponsored or contain affiliate links.
