Best Casino Hotels in Pennsylvania

Occupying 2,000 acres of southern Pennsylvania near Ohiopyle State Park, the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort comprises a massive selection of accommodations. The suites in Chateau Lafayette were inspired by the famous Ritz in Paris, and feature crystal chandeliers and marble bathrooms. In a very different fashion, Falling Rock pays tribute to Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural style: This boutique boasts a heated outdoor pool, deep-soaking tubs, and stand-alone showers, providing a more secluded, romantic escape, according to recent guests. The Lodge offers ornate decor that resembles an English country inn and evokes a cozier feel. Of the options, many previous guests recommend staying in Falling Rock for its soothing atmosphere, friendly customer service and gourmet Aqueous restaurant. For more fine dining options, check out Lautrec or Autumn. Prefer lighter fare? Dine at The Tavern, The Caddyshack, PJ's or one of the seasonal venues that opens its doors for putters in the summer season or powder hounds in the winter.

The Poconos aren't just about honeymooning in heart-shaped hot tubs; the Mount Airy Casino Resort in Mount Pocono also serves as a lively entertainment hub. Of course, the main asset is the on-site casino. But recent guests also appreciate the non-smoking atmosphere, extremely friendly staff, and the variety of table games and slot machines. Previous visitors also applaud the resort for its clean, simplistically decorated accommodations, which come equipped with leather chairs, flat-screen TVs and luxurious Gilchrist & Soames bath products. Another bonus: The hotel sits within close range of prime skiing areas and boasts several on-site eateries, which recent patrons praise for their versatile culinary offerings.

Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania's Mohegan Sun Pocono has a variety of amenities to satisfy every type of traveler. Gamblers will love playing in the 82,000-square-foot casino or placing bets at the live harness racetrack, while nightlife enthusiasts can catch a comedy show, sip cocktails or listen to live music at one of several entertainment venues. Health-focused travelers can maintain their fitness regimens in the gym or unwind with a treatment at the spa. For those who are staying here for work, the resort offers a business center and 20,000 square feet of meeting space. And for foodies, the property houses multiple restaurants that serve everything from sushi to steaks. Former guests offered heaps of praise for the on-site steakhouse. However, some were disappointed with the buffet's food and limited hours. Mixed feedback was also given for the property's 238 guest rooms and suites. Some described the spaces – which boast dark gray, red and orange color palettes, plus smart TVs, work desks and iPads – as clean and spacious. Others bemoaned the high nightly rates and daily $15 resort fee. But remember, this resort is part of the Preferred Lifestyle Collection, so iPrefer Hotel Rewards members can redeem points for free stays.
