Our kids really got into this and always went to look for the next clue as soon as they knew it was up. There was probably two other families at the resort so our children were able to play multiple times with their turtle.Īnother activity they did was each week they would hide a medallion somewhere on the property and then each day they would leave another clue on the window of the office. Their turtle won if it reached the outer circle first. They each picked a turtle, put their turtle in the middle of the circle and would let go at the same time.

I walked away and a buddy said after I left she got 21 or blackjack 3 times in a row. I tried my hand at blackjack and I’ve never seen a dealer get 21 or blackjack as many times as she did. I went there and it’s your typical, small reservation casino with poker, blackjack, and plenty of slot machines to drive you crazy.
