Mountaineer Casino Racetrack and Resort, Newell

i very much enjoyed my stay at mountaineer my husband and i stayed there for 2 days we are both handicap and we were treated like royalty from all the staff we walked away with quite a bit more than when we got there we had a nice room power chairs and as far as the smoke goes if you dont like it stay home you know its there before you go how do you think people feel about seeing drunks stumbling around trying to find the bar i just dont understand how people go somewhere then get online and complain about their experience cause it didnt turn out how they wanted bet if you woulda won a millon dollars you wouldnt be complaining

Likes=Spa, Pool, High Stakes Tables, Friendly Staff, Gorgeous waitresses, helpful dealers, lots of free things for all, specials daily for different groups, free room during week, Great food of all classes and styles, live racing, indoor entertainment venue, nearby golf course, great valet and parking services, all types of gambling available including plenty of hold-em, tournaments, great selection of slots, outdoor dining, great room accomodations,

The place is a total bunch of garbage. Treat people with such disrepect it is unimaginable. These casinos seem to think us regular people are who gives them a business in the first place. Time to just stop going and leave their seats empty. Done being treated like trash, done watching other people be treated like trash. Done donating so they can drive their expensive cars and have a lavish lifestyle. The only ones that want something for nothing is them. It really should be illegal. What a trasy type of business. I would not recommend this place to a dog.

I want to thank all the security people for the excellent job they did in resolving the issue i had their with another player. They we're swift and so professional in doing their job. It could have been a bad day if not for them . I want other people to know they are in good hands when at Mountaineer casino . Once again Thanks to the Security personal . Dave McCullough

Go to Pittsburgh, Vegas, Atlantic City. This place is trash. Yes, it's close to home and that's really the only real benefit. Where to begin: I guess at the beginning. Upon opening the door and walking in, you hit a WALL of stale cigarette smoke. If you care anything about your lungs and second hand smoke stay away. The non-smoking area is a joke. They have hundreds (if not thousands) of machines in the casino and only less than a hundred in the non-smoking area. Non-smoking is really a misnomer because the clouds of smoke is inescapable. They need to invest in exhaust fans to pull the smoke out of that place and let the people breathe. On to the games: you will win very little, if anything. These machines literally eat your money and you get zero return. I'm no dummy. I know the odds of winning "big" are slim to none. However, most of the machines are rigged up so that you don't even break even or get any return at all. It's no fun. The staff is rude and inattentive. Especially if you're a minority. Getting a complimentary soft drink is nearly impossible. If you do get a chance to place a drink order they never come back with it. The buffet is on the main level near the table games. The gobs of smoke drifting into the food area turned my stomach. I decided not to eat there and left. I've been to a casino twice in my life and this is the last time. I actually like playing the games, but I refuse to deal with the disgusting smoke and the rude staff. Not only are you giving these people your money on the rigged up machines, you're also exposing yourself to an overwhelming amount of cigarette smoke. It was truly a disgusting experience. Never again.

Well this place has always been a stinky smelly old ugly casino. But they know we will come there because its close to Ohio. cannot wait for Cleveland. Watch the business go then.! Machines are bad and really tight. I don't play tables so can't say anything there. We go to Atlantic City. It is great fun, a fun drive, about 7 hrs from Ohio, and the comps are unreal. In Ohio we have a lot of local internet sweepstakes places, another name for casinos. You can do quite well there and play for hours on $20.00.Meadows is great an so is Rivers, wonder why mountaineer hasnt cleaned up rheir act? GREEDY . And yes the food is really BAD. and no where to eat near the casino either.

we just love mountain and rooms are clean and if wasn't so far, we would visit it more often. we really cannot see any difference in any other casino's during this tight economy then any other and we are from the state of delaware and we frequent our 3 casinos once or twice a month. Some times u win and sometime you loose. We love mountaineer as we are handicap and the hp rooms are quite lovely, clean and extra extra roomy. if i find i am loosing after i played say several machines and loose loose, it is time to quit. If you are winning, hey it is your day. i have had many of the loosing days, and also many loosing. If you think you are going to the slots to win and come out ahead. look at your play card report. It will tell you how much you win and how much you have lost in a year. we go to dover downs in dover de. Quite frequently, and it is the same there. all machines have a timer on when it will hit, and when it will take your money. i have seen many people win, and stay there until they loose the money they won. now they are consider big time looser. You need to know when to quit.

This Casino is GARBAGE !!!!! The Staff all look like homeless people. We went and ate in the buffet room, jail food is better than this nasty bland stuff they call food. I walked out hungry cause there was nothing that was edible without feeling like you just bit into a chunk of salt. The slots are the tightest I have ever seen, ate a $20 in a quarter machine in 2 minutes flat with no playback (I mean nothing, not even 2 quarters back). NO COMPS for nothing, not even the nasty food we paid for. I'll keep this opinion of mine short and not-so-sweet because like this casino, just a complete waste of time, there was absolutely nothing enjoyable about going to this casino. I will never visit this casino again and for all I care, it could literally burn to the ground. The rooms are very dirty, the food was nasty, a majority of the staff had absolutely no personality. Wish I would have known about all of this before we went, I would have surely went somewhere else but now I know next time. MOUNTAINEER, get your nasty stinky casino together and learn how to treat your customers, because with me, you just lost another one. To describe this casino in one word - DIVE !!! PLAN YOUR TRIP TO ANY OTHER CASINO THAN MOUNTAINEER, TRUST ME, YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID. THIS IS THE NASTIEST CASINO I HAVE EVER BEEN TO.

The Mountaineer perfectly captured the 1970's lounge lizard casino atmosphere and could have been great fun, but they should warn their guests about the cigarettes. The place reeked of secondhand smoke--the lobby, the casino, the restaurants, even the spa--they all STUNK and burned our eyes. There were lots of choices in the casino, the food was great and the people were friendly, but I even had to wash my suitcase before bringing it back into my home. When Cleveland opens its casino next year the smokers can continue to go to the Mountaineer and my friends and I will be able to gamble without getting cancer in the process.

unlike many of the negative reviews, we found our 3 trips from michigan to the resort this summer to be quite enjoyable. the rooms were clean, the food at the gatsby was great, the service was good, and we did ok in the casino, coming out ahead 2 out of the three visits. the comps from the resort are by far better than any other we have visited. we also enjoyed the horse racing. i would agree that the quarter slots are pretty tight, and the 2 times we ate at the buffet were disappointing. our over all experience at the mountaineer resort has been a good one, and we will be returning.
