Built in 1927, it was used to film The Wizard of Oz and, decades later, the Spider-Man and Men in Black franchises, among other films. Upon his retirement in 2013, Sony Pictures renamed its most storied sound stage, Stage 15 - one of the largest in the world – as the Gary Martin Stage. During his 32 years with Columbia/Sony, Martin helped define the company’s impressive record of box office hits, overseeing production of such films as Best Picture Oscar nominee Tootsie and Ghostbusters as well as Men in Black, Spider-Man and Casino Royale.

Those same motifs are found inside Lucas Oil Live, which feels as much an extension of the hotel as it does a venue made for stars like Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton, who are coming later this year. The golf clubhouse was also redone, and new restaurants and bars were added. The additional 304 hotel rooms bring Winstar’s total to over 1,700. Lucas Oil Live is the crown jewel of Winstar’s latest slate of multimillion-dollar improvements.īeginning with December’s opening of the Spa Tower hotel, which connects with the venue, the Chickasaw Nation showplace added a two-story spa and a five-acre pool complex called Cascades in May. ![]() (Chitose Suzuki / Staff Photographer) Jack Parkinson, WinStar World Resort and Casino senior general manager, walks on the stage inside the Lucas Oil Live at the casino and resort in Thackerville, Okla., Tuesday, Aug. Lucas Oil Live is seen at WinStar World Resort and Casino, Tuesday, Aug. The stage could fit an NBA basketball court, according to Jessica Haisler, marketing assistant general manager, and two large LED screens bracket it on either side. Seats are spread between three levels, including a floor area that can support temporary seating or a pit, depending on the performance. ![]() ![]() The space is cavernous, but even the nosebleed seats at the very top and back have a close view of the stage. ![]() The waitress continued to take other orders instead of quickly preparing my drink.I asked the waitress behind the bar when she was going to prepare it and she said she was busy and would get to it!! (Not the answer I was looking for) I calmly said "thank you, please don't think I'm being rude, just tired of waiting for my drink) There was no urgency to prepare my drink. 5mins later, my coffee was brought out by another Waiter it then sat at the bar for a Lil over 5min and was paid no attention. ![]() I waited for about 10min before I noticed I hadn't had my drink the waitress noticed the anticipation on my face and said they were making my coffee now. Upon being seated I noticed it was a quiet night here and we were one of maybe 20 people in/around the bar area. ![]() After a great win for the Sixer's tonight, my Hubbie and I decided to grab a burger and drink here. ![]() At this show, they passed out SO many guitar picks to the audience, keeping everyone engaged! I got one before the show even started because the band knows me :) They also handed roses to everyone who walked up front at the end of the show. My favorite thing about Collective Soul is that they always try to do something special for the audience. He stands in that "rock star" stance where his legs are bent and his guitar is flung high in the air- the audience can't help but be in awe at his shredding. ![]() Jesse is an absolutely professional rocker on the guitar, and he knows it. The rest of the band is SUPER tight as well. Even at shows like these where majority of the audience was just there because of the casino concert perks and only knew "Shine", Ed was able to get these people up and standing, bopping their heads and smiling all around. ![]() They're rock and roll gods up there on stage, especially Ed Roland who can work up any audience with his charisma, excessive energy, dancing, bright smiles and entertaining stories. I think this was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. This was my 8th time seeing them and they only get BETTER. ![]() Stayed four nights, and our room was comfortable, healthy, and clean. I prefer using the city streets, or the second option, to access the BW garage: Listed below are the directions to the back entrance to the BW Plus. Some walkers get upset, and they let you know they are upset. ![]() They have trouble enough walking with the changing walking crowd and, then, suddenly they are dealing with a car inching its way through the walking crowd. entrance stress filled as the people who walk up and down get very upset when you itch your car through the crowds. I found accessing the garage through the Las Vegas Blvd. entrance, and the second way is to access the garage through the city streets that are located in the back of the casino resorts. There are two ways to get to the hotel’s free parking: the first way is to access the garage through the Las Vegas Blvd. Both my wife and I are recovering from health problems, so the convenience of getting around was a major plus for us. The hotel is compact, so everything is within easy reach. The computer and printer worked perfectly for us. We had to used the computer twice, and had no difficulty in accessing the internet or using the email. The hotel has a business office, which consists of three computers with a single printer (color), which can be accessed with your room key. ![]() For such a modern and busy casino, hopefully you have smarter people working on a better solution. They need to come up with a better system or make it more automated. If you old enough to know what an “E” Ticket was for Disneyland and the lines to get to the best rides or you were in the military service where you had to wait in line for almost everything or you go to the DMV without an appointment, you have long lines and a lot of wasted time. Now you must have a reservation for dinner and in order to get the reservation you have to stand in one line for up to an hour or more only to get a reservation time for dinner, then return at the reservation time to stand in another line to get into the buffet. There new reservation system is really lacking. ![]() ![]() We were so looking forward to the lobster buffet and what a disappointment. I really try to be positive and open minded when we visit restaurants and write reviews accordingly. ![]() There are over 2,300 VLT (video lottery terminal) games from Pennies to High-Limit denominations and all of the latest and greatest titles. ![]() We have been awarded as a Plain Dealer Top Workplace in Northeast Ohio for four years running (2016-current), a recognition only given to 25 large companies in the area a year! Previously the Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park, we have been purchased by and have joined one of the largest gaming companies in the world, MGM Resorts. The racino features the most exciting gaming floor in Northeast Ohio, many flavorful dining options, and one of a kind live shows and entertainment offerings. MGM Northfield Park is adjacent to the world-famous Northfield Park harness racetrack and is centrally located just 20 miles Southeast of Downtown Cleveland and 20 miles North of Akron. ![]() (See pictures) and their website doesn’t reflect the updated policy on room-service (which is no longer available). The lamps had some weird dust collecting in them and looked shabby. The room was mediocre and was missing a chair to the desk and had scuff marks on it. ![]() ![]() Their website says to use the express check out but I just got an error every time I tried to use it. My bank would have happily released the $150 if I had been able to get a copy of my bill upon check out. I submitted a request for a copy of my bill via the website and never got a response even though they say they will get back to you within 3 days. I requested a copy of my bill and was told that since it was zero dollars, that they could not provide me anything, which I know is incorrect. The hotel staff just refer you to the billing department (who does not answer the phone) and who does not return phone calls after leaving a message. Then, I had to wait for the refund of one night to be put back into my account only to have the authorization for incidentals (which is $150) remain on my account for the full 10 days. First off, I was charged for one night when my stay was supposed to be complimentary. From the beginning, it seemed like there was misinformation from the staff at the hotel on several things. I wasn’t too impressed with the stay at this location. ![]() It’s there that the casino told the players what will happen with their money: it stopped collecting money for the jackpot on July 25. The sign outside the poker room was placed there a month in advance of the poker room closing. “Outside of the room there is a description of ‘hey, we’re closing, here’s what we’re going to do, here’s what’s going to happen with the jackpots, and here’s where the rest of the money is going to go,’ which is where this whole thing came about because people read that and said, ‘hey, that seems kind of unethical,'” Newman said. The reason he knows his interpretation of the sign isn’t being followed is because of another sign placed just outside of the room informing players the poker room is closing and what the casino plans to do with the jackpot money. Newman says not following that written promise is unethical. So not blackjack jackpots, not slot machine jackpots, not other games, but specifically poker jackpots,” Newman said. “The promise and the claim that Snoqualmie makes is that 100 percent of the funds collected from the player-supported jackpot will be allocated to poker jackpots. Long-time poker player Lucas Newman says under the total, which is posted on a wall of the poker room and updated every day, is what he believes is a written promise that the casino made to its poker players. ![]()
