My wife and I went to the Keith Urban concert last night who put on an amazing show, he is a fantastic artists and was great about engaging the crowd. We honestly had a blast during the concert. My complaints come before and and after the concert.

We didn't realize that you couldn't bring camp chairs into the concert, walking through the parking lot a lot of people had them so we grabbed ours, after going into the casino and asking how to get to the concert area carrying the chairs, getting on the shuttle and talking to the driver, and passing countless staff it wasn't until we got back by the parked motor coaches that an extremely rude red headed female security guard approached us and told us chairs were not aloud and we could either take them back to our car or throw them away. The kicker to this is once we were in the concert area after I hiked back to my car... there were people with chairs and using them.

During the concert even though there is a no smoking policy people were smoking all around us right in front of security and they did nothing about it.

After the concert security funneled everyone out through the one entrance like cattle all the way back into the casino through two double doors, at one point some concert goers got smart and knocked over the barricade and started walking around the building as opposed to through the gaming floor. Security was freaking out because they lost control of the crowd, they were running back and forth yelling at each other trying to figure out how to stop the flood of people that were going that way... basically completely inept and unprofessional.

So once they funneled everyone into the middle of the gaming floor I witnessed security giving the mother of a minor a hard time for being on the gaming floor... right by the door we had all just been forced through because they gave us no other choices as a means of egress. So after forcing parents to walk their children through slot machines and gaming tables, security was harassing the parents to boot. There was also no clear exit to the front of the building once stuck in the middle of all the slot machines, which I'm sure is done for a reason however when you have a 2 hour drive to get home and all you want to do is get on the road, it is extremely frustrating and inconvenient. Honestly I think two monkeys could have came up with a better plan than what their staff had in place.

My last complaint is the traffic. It took nearly an hour for us to get out of the parking lot and it was a free for all. From the lot I was parked in, near C14 there was only one exit which happened to be the only exit for the rest of the casino. Instead of having people controlling the traffic and allowing blocks of cars to go and keep traffic flowing there wasn't a single staff person in sight and the only way to get into the stream of traffic was to just cut someone off unless someone was nice enough to let you in. This is a flaw in both traffic control and design of the parking lots.

I have been to a lot of major sporting events and concerts at a variety of venues and this was by far the worst as far as how inept the security was, how poorly laid out the plan of getting people out in a timely manner after the event, and the overall attitude of staff. My wife and I had when arriving thought it would be fun to go to both the Toby Keith concert and make a weekend trip out of coming to the casino in the future... you can now rest assured that no artist is worth putting up with the shortcomings of this facility and it's staff, and as a matter of principle we have no intention of spending any of our hard earned money at this facility.
