I don't get to back home nearly often enough. But when I do come back to the NW for Christmas I try and sneak in a couple of really good meals. One of my go-to places is the Boston Bistro inside The Point. The pricing is very reasonable, and the quality is mighty tasty. I'm not a huge gambler, but the dealers have always been nice and friendly. If you're in the neighborhood stop it's a great place for lunch or dinner.
My review is limited to the breakfast buffet at the restaurant, since I did not enter the casino itself.The restaurant, to my relief, was smoke-free. The custom-prepared omelets were the most appealing of the offerings in the breakfast buffet. The omelet chef uses fresh eggs, adding no milk (important to those who are lactose-intolerant), and you get to choose from a variety of added ingredients.There were other dishes such as french toast, scrambled eggs, a variety of potatoes, fruit, etc., the kind of things you would expect to find at a breakfast buffet, all of which seemed fairly average in nature. The atmosphere was, well, somber at best, but then I haven't had a lot of experience with casino-associated restaurants. Kingston has other, more appealing venues for breakfast/brunch, but the buffet at the Point Casino is a reasonable destination where quantity is as important as quality.
Micro Championship Wrestling was there and they were awesome! Played some machines and had an awesome buffet that included filet mignon and Mahi Mahi.
This is a good casino but still has too much smoke including the smoke that leaks in the buffet restaurant area.
This casino is sort of off the beaten path. It looks like a giant tent from the outside. Once you enter, though, it s a real casino, with a giant central bar, lots of slots, side rooms, and a venue for entertainment. There is a cigar club, a buffet dining room, and a bistro for a fancier place to eat, with what looks like a decent menu . My complaint is that although the air circulation is good, you smell cigarette smoke the minute you enter, and it comes out with you when you leave. I wish there was a separate section for us nonsmokers.
While Angel of the Winds says that they are the friendliest, The Point actually is without bragging about it. Everybody that you come in contact with are so nice that you feel right at home. Its our favorite casino even though its a long drive with a ferry ride. They pay for one way of the ferry and they have many generous promotions. We like their restaurants too.
Went to Point casino after getting off the Kingston ferry on our way home. my husband and I as well as my father wanted to see the new remodel and get some lunch. It is quite something compared to the old digs...It is like a giant tent. Very airy and lots of space. There are a ton of slots and plenty of eats. We had sandwiches that were good but pricey. Not a bad place to stop for a little gaming and something to eat.
My wife and I have been to the casino three times now for their entertainment in the event center. We have seen cover bands of Rod Stewart, Tina turner, and Pink Floyd. All I have been good and I consider this good value entertainment as the tickets are only $10 apiece if you buy prior to the date of the concert. Otherwise they are $15 apiece. You can also buy drinks inside the event center to enjoy while you were watching the concert. The music sometimes does get a little loud as this is a fairly small space, but the casino does provide your plugs if you want.
we had not been to this casino since they expanded and what a nice job they did. a spacious and well ventilated space with a generous variety of slot choices. clean rest rooms met expectations. will plan to have ameal next time as a local said the food is great. of course winning is a sure way to get a positive review.
I've made it my goal to try out every casino in WA state to see how each compare to each other as far as gambling goes. As per usual, I don't rate the food or the parking, etc that's for other folks. So I haven't been to the POINT in years, after getting my frustration level past boiling with Clearwater and the other tribal casino's in Western WA, I decided to come back to the Point to see how they've expanded and how their play is. on my first trip, BAM, I hit about $600, every machine I played I got bonus spins pretty quickly and was able to build up my cash readily! Their selection of machines is pretty awesome, but I'm not sure why they separate the tickets. One half of the casino take Red tickets, the other half takes white tickets, which is super frustrating if your like me. I don't like to have to interrupt my flow stop, walk across the casino to cash in a Red ticket, so I can play in a White ticket machine. I want everything easy and no interruptions. They'd be ahead by going one way or the other. Also the layout needs some rethinking. Its very difficult to find the machines your looking for, and some machines are ALWAYS empty, while others you can't every get to. {triple fortune dragons} Also, add some better community player machines, like Monopoly or Ghost Busters. Sex in the City...blah....Micheal Jackson...meh....So I find the machines towards the front and center of the aisles pay the best, maybe just fluke, but when I try to move in deeper into the casino, the machines were just dead. The higher denominations seem to pay better as well, but your money goes alot faster so beware. The Lightening jackpot machines give alot of play time, but when you get the bonus, 7 out 10 times I didn't win anything, so meh. The best bang for your buck in my opinion is the Killer Whale game, on the red ticket side. The progressives are nice and typically you'll leave up if you stick to it. Just remember to change that darn bingo card! { my rule of thumb, I change it till I get all single numbers in my B row} My last two trips out here have returned nothing, maybe they've decided to cut me off already since I won my first 3 trips out, but we'll see. I'm not going back until I get my first free play cash in a month or so, I'll update then. I think the place is pretty darn clean, especially for being all smoking, & the selection of machines is good, but I will only drive 100 miles to gamble if my chances are better than not I will win. The Point, I'm not so sure if they are much better than other, the jury is out. IMO, they would be smart to have loose slots to attract folks to drive all the way out there to play. If you start cutting off your high roller players you'll be stuck with only locals and that won't sustain you in the long run. You have Clearwater just down the road that really focuses on bringing in folks from out of the area, so i guess its all what in how you market your casino. The night the male strippers were there, it was pretty crowded with 20 something females but none of them were playing machines. looks good but financially not sure it makes sense. If I can give suggestions from a seasoned gambler who plays all over the US, the best casinos who attract the most players offers 1} has a good comp program and offers their older gamblers slot dollars throughout the week to keep them coming in 2} loosens their games during the day when the older players typically come in 3} has slot tournaments and free giveaways for ALL players, not just one random an hour. Like tote bags, t-shirts, etc. No kidding, one year at Fiesta Casino in Henderson NV they gave away apple pies to every player and the place was PACKED !! Lastly, announce or post your jackpots! Its very disheartening to be playing and never hear a jackpot announced. Or see them posted on a board. Keeps people's hopes up. WA state casino's could learn a few things ....how about cater more to your female gamblers, like free slot dollars on ladies night? Good luck everyone and remember to keep your eye on the prize! Keep your limits and don't give up!
