Lumière Place feels like Las Vegas. And there is no greater compliment for a casino in the heartland. Its gambling floor is sleek and elegant, with muted tones and soft lights framing 2,000 slot machines, more than 50 tables and, in an adjacent room, a baker's dozen of poker tables. Strolling through the grounds, you'll notice the pleasant diversity of the patrons: tailored suits beside transparent green visors beside gray Puma sweat suits. Need a place to calm the nerves while your team tries to cover the spread and win some cash? Cross the carpet over to Lumière's Stadium Sports Grill, one of the most physically impressive sports bars in the city with its 200-plus seats, 50 flat-screens, gold-tinted sports images and an open floor plan that gives one section of seating an indoor-patio feel. It's a great place to refuel before winning your money back.
