Hooters casino hotel

Features at this Hooters property are on par with what you'd expect for this good-times brand. For starters, the 30,square-foot casino has table games, slot machines, and a race book. While most dealers wear traditional dealer attire, waitresses and some dealers are decked in Hooters uniforms: orange short-shorts and low-cut tank tops. 

Aside from the casino, the hotel’s two freshwater pools are a top draw. They have a distinct party atmosphere and stay open late. Lots of lounge chairs are available, as are floating pool noodles, and there’s also a handicapped pool lift. To help keep that lively vibe going, there are -- expectedly -- lots of places to grab a drink, including poolside. Porch and Backyard -- two of the hotel's most popular bars -- are located next to the pool and have games like air hockey, billiards, foosball, and board games. Backyard adds cooling misters and a giant beer-pong pitch. Indoors, Hooters Saloon features plenty of TVs showing sports in addition to an American menu. It stays open around the clock. There's also a nightclub and a small theater hosts magic shows, concerts, and DJs. 

Hooters Restaurant is open 24 hours a day and serves up the chain's famous wings alongside other fried fare. Southside Eatery is a coffee shop selling snacks, sweets, and craft beer. The Pizza Hut inside of Southside Eatery is a recent addition, and as of our fall visit a fourth restaurant was being renovated. A gift shop in the lobby sells sundries, souvenirs, and Hooters-branded merchandise. 

The hour gym overlooking the pool is a nice, if unexpected, perk for a party-oriented hotel. It’s stocked with modern machines, cardio equipment, free weights, and dumbbells. Spa services can be arranged, but there’s no dedicated spa area. Meeting space is available as is dry cleaning service (but no laundry). There's also a concierge. Wi-Fi is included in the mandatory resort fee, as is valet parking.
