L'Auberge Casino Hotel Baton Rouge
This is a nice little getaway place. The hotel and casino are very clean, and the hotel staff were super friendly and helpful. The casino staff wasn't very friendly; a little surprising since they want you to spend your money. The smoking area was kept clean and well ventilated. I was a little disappointed ...
