As a former employee of almost 10 yrs I have to say that this place went down hill ever sense it was taken over by Bob Griffen...I loved working there but the new owners are the reson i left. I got tired of being yelled at by patrons because MANAGMENT was closeing every thing to early and you had to walk clear across the building to cash a ...
I have been going to mountaineer for about 5 years now 2 or 3 times a week. I have spent a large amount of money there. Last night a lady came up to me, which she looked like a manager, and told me that if I put any more tickets in a machine that already had money in it that somebody left, that I was going to have to leave. She said that is ...

mr. and mrs.occasional gamblers
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/21/09
My husband and I used to visit Mountaineer 2 0r 3 times a month. Sometimes more. At least when Ted Arnot was there, the slots paid out better. Now with the new management, it is worse than ever. I do not like the new penny, nickle , dime machines. I liked the quarter machines they removed to put these new machines in. AT least I could win a ...

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/19/09
I visited this resort last year for a convention and have another coming up soon, which will also be held here. I am speaking from last year's experience and will update to this year's soon. Every corner of the resort, except for your non-smoking room, is filled with smoke. For those of us with asthma or any difficulty at all, it is ...

DUMP!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/18/09
This place is a dump! I'll start with dinner. We ate at Gatsby's and my wifes steak was very good but I got the burger and it was a tasteless frozen hamburger patty. Tasted like they got it from the frozen food section in Wal-Mart. Service was ok but a little slow. Bartenders were terrible, touching straws and garnishes with bare hands ...

Good-bye old friend
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/15/09
Mountaineer used to be my favorite place to go. Shortly after the strike, there was a sudden, noteceable change in slot payouts and it's been tight ever since. The whole place has been different; filthy, rude unprofessional employees, rotten food; more an adult arcade atmosphere than a casino. There atmosphere, once festive, had become ...

Ted Arneault Why Did You Go???
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/14/09
I once worked for Mountaineer and it was a great place to work for when Ted was the CEO. Ted what happen to you? Why did you give your business to a monster that has destroyed the company? I was one that was laid off recently after 10 years of service to this company. Yes I am pretty mad but I am not going to say that Mountaineer is a bad place to ...
Right off the bat we connected with the clerk and we got a good rate, stayed for 3 nights. The casino was fun, entered the slot tournament was neat. Only one good cafe to eat at, steak house being a little pricy, and the pizza place being crowded. The one gift shop was sparce but neat. Bought a singing bear for my daughter, resonable prices. ...

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/19/09
