Diamond players get access to a moderately-sized diamond lounge, but the food there is quite mediocre.

The buffet has decent variety, with a selection of mostly good, but a few not-so-great, food items expect very long lines Friday nights for their seafood extravaganza. Ace's Diner provides that deli-style fix, though is a bit pricey.
