Great experience

We went to Thunder Valley Casino to see The Little River Band perform. The auditorium was very nice and security kept the audience in their seats so everyone could see and enjoy the show. The rooms are kept up and seemed pretty new. There is plenty of parking. We also enjoyed…

Who is Patty and why does her name get drawn at every drawing? Is that a default or computer glitch?

Good morning Murmademom, We have many guests by the name of Patricia or Patty. But we do not disclose any information about any of our guests. The drawing program that we use is electronic and completely random and has been reviewed, tested and approved by the agency that regulates gaming at TVCR. The guest(s) whose name(s) are drawn must be present at the time of the drawing in order to participate in the drawing. And the odds of having a guest's name selected increase concurrently with the amount of play that guest has on the day of the drawing. Best Regards, Jordan C.

I noticed a visitor commented on poor air quality but I saw no response. What is the status on casino air quality?

Good afternoon ronsantacruz, Here at Thunder Valley we are a smoking casino, and while one does experience the smell and atmosphere of a smoking casino, we do our due diligence to see that the atmosphere is a pleasant one. We have a state of the art filtration system to minimize the amount of lingering smoke in the casino, and recently underwent the replacing of all carpet in the casino, relieving the casino of any stagnant smell of smoke that may have been perceived by our guests. We do our very best to leave our guests with a positive, lasting impression of Thunder Valley, not of the smoky atmosphere of Thunder Valley, and we thank you for your inquiry. All the best, Jordan C.

Can kids stay at the hotel, if so, can an xbox be hooked onto the tv?

Hi Patty, kids are allowed to stay in the hotel as long as they are accompanied by a parent or guardian. Unfortunately, our TV's cannot hook up to external devices.
