Otherwise, the games, atmosphere and entire experience was unremarkable and that is the death knell of a casino experience. Mount Airy was only memorable to my wife and I because when we visited, she was under twenty-one and she was not proofed getting into the casino. The casino is entirely forgettable and I, for my money, want a casino that leaves me both with memories of the time I had there and enthusiastic about returning. Mount Airy is a remarkably indistinct casino with no flash, no gimmicks, no substance. Moreover, the fundamental problem with Mount Airy is not anything that it does, but rather what it doesn't do. My wife and I hit a lot of casinos when we travel (she is SO looking forward to Las Vegas later this year!) and as such, it might seem like no big deal when she looks at me blankly when I name a casino we went to and asks 'Which one is that?' The truth is, though, there has only been a single casino she has reacted that way to and while I was initially considering Mount Airy Casino Resort an 'average' casino, I took my wife's reaction as something of an omen that this was the appropriate time to downgrade this casino.
The Basics: Underwhelming in every way, Mount Airy Casino is nestled in the Pocono Mountains and is very easy to pass by. The Bad: Smoky atmosphere, Lack of flash, Location
