Guest Reviews

• Voyage715271 (10/5): Fun time at Wheeling - Had a fun time with family! Recommend it!
• darrentarumoto (10/5): Fun place to take a break. - The staff was extremely friendly and polite. Property was clean and well kept. It was a fun place to take a break from driving across the country.
• meH3230VI (10/5): Great place to stay. - Very nice and clean hotel,Hotel staff were excellent.
• case0219 (10/5): Renovated Hotel Rooms and updates! Very pleased - We have been to Wheeling Island several times, however due to some personal circumstances as well as the big flood that Wheeling Island had, this was our first trip back in 2 years. All I can say is Wow!!!! The hotel rooms have been remodeled. Fresh carpet, new bathrooms, new beds, pillows, everything has that new carpet smell. It was amazing! And as always the staff are always helpful. Very friendly. The casino layout is the same, however they now have a bar and grill restaurant and a smaller food court. Amazing stay! Thanks again
• davidmS8936QA (10/5): First Time Visiting - Location is very easy to get to. One of the pros to the casino is the proximity to the historical district of wheeling, which I definitely recommend visiting as well. Room was very clean. View wasnt the greatest though what do you expect for the price and time of year really? Overall was definitely a great value! In terms of noise level, it was very quiet in the room. Service was my only complaint, but not enough to reduce the rating. Really wish the staff at the receptions desk would be faster. That being said all of the staff were very friendly and helpful!
• lisapJ9807DO (8/5): good entertainment - fun casino with good entertainment, drinks are expensive
• Q2692AKjohns (10/5): The new Wheeling Island - Wheeling Island has really stepped up their game in rewards and updates to their casino. 5 stars Been going there for years. The visit was an awesome experience.
• R8255XZjessicam (4/5): Wheeling Island Gaming Casino and Racetrack - Been to this casino many times since I grew up in the area but I moved away. I come back to visit often and while I like going to casinos this is my least favorite. The cigarette smoke is atrocious. Many of the casinos we frequent are non smoking, have a smoking area completely blocked off with doors for people to enter/exit or have a specialized air filtration system. I have no problem with people that smoke, but because I’m very sensitive to cigarette smoke, I’m unable to stay in there for more than 15-20 mins. I’m not sure why they haven’t upgraded this casino or tried to improve it so all guests can have an enjoyable experience.
• O2298GVtonym (2/5): Wheeling island casino, Our reviews. - Beds uncomfortable. Pillows didn't fit pillow cases and uncomfortable. Mini fridge not cold. No coffee pot or microwave in rooms. Water in shower not as hot as we like.
• G7354DNsamc (10/5): great - wonderful time and enjoyed all slots.
• annasM2838KU (10/5): Ladie's Gambling Time Away - Wheeling Island Casino ... nice, roomy, clean rooms ... excellent restaurant choices ... slot machine variety was great ! ... all staff members were extremely friendly, courteous & helpful
• ConnieA580 (10/5): Remodeled rooms - They just remodeled all the hotel rooms and they are FABULOUS now!
• Q9537EPjacksonc (10/5): Fresh Updates and Fantastic Food – A Hidden Gem in Wheeling! - We were pleasantly surprised by our recent stay at Wheeling Island! The timing was perfect as they have just completed a massive $4.5 million renovation (early 2026) that really breathed new life into the property. The hotel rooms are significantly updated—everything felt fresh, clean, and modern. The highlight for us was the new Gravitate Food Hub. Instead of a standard boring food court, they have nine different concepts ranging from street tacos to healthy bowls, which made eating here a lot more exciting. We also had a sophisticated dinner at The Pointe Sea & Steak, and the service was top-tier. Even if you aren't a big gambler, the live entertainment in the showroom is worth the trip alone. It’s a great 'all-in-one' destination that finally feels like the luxury retreat it was meant to be!"
• FarAway366876 (8/5): Great Experience - It takes about an hour to get there from Pittsburgh. I love the atmosphere when you walk in the front entrance to a waterfall and palm trees. They have a nice variety of slot machines along with several table games. They keep the casino floor very tidy. The food is great no matter where you eat. The Pointe steakhouse is terrific!
• I7215RYbradl (10/5): Fun Fun Fun - Awesome Experience!!! If you get a chance to go definitely go. First class service great environment just awesome and close to top of my list for fun!!
• frankpG4427QD (6/5): Security Officer needs trained in courtesy and kindness - Two days ago, my wife and I took my 90-year-old mother to the casino for a two-day trip for her birthday. My wife forgot her wallet with her driver's license. She did have a picture of it on her phone. The security officer was kind enough to run her license number and verify she was good to enter the gaming area. All of that day and evening she was free to enter and exit the gaming area without any issues. We spent the night and, in the morning, my wife and mother went to enter to gaming area to eat breakfast and gamble while I took our luggage to the car and came back in to meet them. The short, heavy set, bald security officer would not permit my wife in without her license. He would not enter her info into the system manually as did the previous officers. This would be understandable and acceptable if he didn't have an attitude. This same officer did this with several other persons that I know of. As a law enforcement officer myself, this is what gives people in this type of position a bad name. I did not identify myself as a law enforcement office because I knew he was doing his job, but there's a time and place to be rude to someone. Not with a 90-year-old and my wife. We spent a lot of money that evening and planned on spending the next day their also. I emailed customer service to let them know about their employee. I did not hear back from them. This is very disappointing as my mother liked everything about the casino and hotel.
• Camper57543481591 (10/5): Good time fun slots - Friendly staff, clean machines, huge variety of slots, this place has improved so much over the past year good job wheeling island staff
• Pcoop4wvu (6/5): Won’t be spending New Year’s Eve at The Pointe again. - Ate at The Pointe as we have done for several years on New Year’s Eve. The service was terrible, had to ask for refills on our drinks, had to ask for steak knives and had to ask for drawn butter for the lobster tails. Sent one of the lobster tail back because it was all mush, they did replace it and apologized.
• toys442 (10/5): Great time with friends - Location is great, easy on and off the freeway to the casino. The staff is always great and went above and beyond to help with the little issues we had. Though we dont stay overnight often the hotel is great and really first class. The casino and hotel is super clean and a friendly atmosphere all around.
• 92kelsiem (6/5): She redeemed you folks. Give her a raise and some recognition! - Floor staff made me get up from my machine while I had $300 in credits so they could change the cash box. After they finished that machine did not hit a single time. I lost the $300 i had accumulated trying to get it going again see as i only sank a moderate amount into it. The raw sewage that slammed us in the face throughout the entire non-smoking section was horrific. We both had instant migraines and I became nauseous as all get out. The Gravitate FoodHub is awful.Almost $40 for 2 breakfast meals and 2 hot beverages, both of which were served cold. We finished our breakfast before our remade drinks were serve to us. The young lady at the hotel registration desk however was kind, poilite, helpful, efficient, all around phenomenal.
• meganrC1812ZV (10/5): Went for the slot machines - I recommend this casino as the cleanliness is exceptional and the staff go above and beyond to make your experience great
• KGmclaughlin (10/5): Fun with friends - Had a fun time with friends, great food at the Pointe. There was a great selection of slot games. Everyone was very welcoming
• michaelsR6304NZ (2/5): the told me dont like it dont play here - the put dealer new to loran on or money when the dont know any of the game and the told me dont like it dont play here nevr going back there
• timpH9799RV (8/5): Entertained - Very polite staff. Has a decent promotion value. Needs some improvement on floor service. Overall , We had a good time at Wheeling Downs.
• Marilyn (8/5): - It was an average stay. Needed a lot of improvement with rooms and eating choices especially not having a good place for coffee in the morning!
• Ray (10/5): - An ok hotel, not so many amenities, but quiet, and clean. Ubers and taxis are scarce in Wheeling, and the hotel does not provide a shuttle.
• Mary J (10/5): - Parking was in a safe area. Room was nice and clean. Smelled good. Staff was very friendly.
• dawnbD1136GT (10/5): wheeling casino - went to wheeling island, had a blast with my best friend playing all our favorite slots. friendly staff and clean. Didn't eat there because food was to high but we had fun. the rest rooms where clean. staffs where all great. the hotel was clean and comfy. overall everything was great.
• bambi (10/5): - Loved staying here! Everyone is so friendly and helpful!
• Sheri (10/5): - Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable.
• Joanne (10/5): - Room was clean. Comfortable bed.
• Michael (4/5): - Wanted a king room and the room I booked wasn't available
• S973BDellas (10/5): Wheeling is a fun destination to spend the day! - Fun experience going to Wheeling. The drive from Pittsburgh was enjoyable as well. So many different slots that you don't see at casinos closer to home. And the buffet is very good - something for everyone.
• Rory (6/5): - Friendly, construction noise
• Barbara (4/5): - Their was no fridge, coffee pot and broken toilet seat with hole in seat and it moved!! Don't like having to show Id to enter casi o floor! Didnt give reason for Id to be shown. We were in-room 519 and very noisy, sounded like someone pushing cart over our ceiling during night frequently
• Jack R (8/5): - Clean, good people, lots of machines.
• bobbieb419 (6/5): Very Rude Staff - Casino was nice. The hotel room was also nice. The staff at Players Club and Hotel Registration Desk were all very rude. I have been to many casinos and have never encountered such a group of rude people working at a place. We definitely will not be returning. This was our first time at the Wheeling casino and our last. Not a pleasant first experience at a place we were looking forward to visiting.
• Mark (10/5): Great low price room - Great price. Cheapest in the area and nice
• Sally (8/5): - The property was fine, is in definiet need of remodeling. Bathroom sink was cracked, pulls on the dresser drawers were missing. Spots on the rug. It was clean. Just needs some upgrades. The buufet at lunch was expensive for what you get. The snack area food was good, once we figured out how to order it. Had to leave property for breafast. We would visit again, just know what to expect.
• Rosemary (6/5): - Room was smelly
• Gina (8/5): - It could use some updates in the hotel rooms. Its very inconvenient not to have a refrigerator, coffee pot or microwave in the room. The shower pressure was great and the bed was comfy.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The casino was nice, very similar to the one near Charleston, WVa. The room was clean and comfortable. They do not have a microwave, coffee maker or fridge in the rooms. I was told they are currently renovating the hotel and appliances will be added.
• maryannek436 (4/5): Not the best experience - We had gone to Wheeling Island quite often in the past. The place was large, lots of machines to choose from, and we had won three jackpots (in total) over the years. The food was always good; employees were helpful and courteous. There were certain days that featured a buffet for seniors, nice music. Now after returning from a five-year hiatus, the place had dramatically changed -- for the worse. The casino is small, not a variety of machines to play, the staff was cold, somewhat robot-like. Did not eat there. I doubt there are any vegetarian options not made with oil, butter or cream. If you are on a restricted diet, bring your own snack. Restrooms were clean, nicely stocked. All in all, it was disappointing.
• pattysD8333FV (10/5): Fun and comfortable stay at Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack! - We stayed at the Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack for a week to visit Family and played video poker. The Casino floor was clean and had a great selection of fun games, including a 3-D Pirate game that had money coming at you if you won. I'd recommend if you're in the area to stay here!
• Randi (8/5): Very clean. - Room was very clean. Air conditioner was loud, and woke me up every time it turned on. The drain was very slow in the shower. Beds were not very comfortable. All and all was ok-probably stay elsewhere next time I come to Wheeling.
• Micky (6/5): - It was disappointing. We didn’t win anything, the food wasn’t good. The room was comfortable tho
• DEBRA (4/5): - We left behind a blanket and called and it’s not there. The housekeeping staff threw it away. It’s clearly an old item. 64 years and they tossed it. It can NOT be replaced. We are physically sick over this.
• Brenda (8/5): - We like the dog races there...we have casinos where we live but no dog races.
• Tim (6/5): - Pleasant staff,clean rooms but at 7am construction in one of the rooms woke us up, Continued until we left 1030 am.
• somen436 (2/5): Bad - Place was filthy and no fan in the bathroom, security harassing me for propping the stair well door like their employees do to smoke. Would not recommend
• Dora (10/5): - Friendly staff!!!
• Jill (6/5): - smoke was horrible. that is all you can smell from the moment you step into the building.
• Becki (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay. Our room was roomy & clean!!
• Monica (10/5): - Room very nice
• scott (10/5): - Nice stay had a good time nothing special stuck out but nothing bad either.
• debbiefM8296OF (10/5): Good times slot. - The Casino is clean and feels safe as you play and leaving the casino. The parking lot is well lit. We always have a great time.
• Tina (10/5): - Would prefer breakfast options, bed comfortable+ could use fridge in rooms- coffee maker!
• ptvfd214 (10/5): Evening trip - Fun filled experience. One of many trips I have made to Wheeling. Not as crowded as a large city casino but well worth the trip. Bonus is dinner at the steakhouse Lobster Bisque for the win!!
• david (8/5): - Need more food options at the casino
• elyg517 (10/5): Spent too much money 😹 - Had a great time at Wheeling Island Casino! Fun atmosphere, friendly staff, and lots of gaming options. The casino was clean and lively, and I really enjoyed the racetrack too. Food could be better, and free food options for players would be a great upgrade. Still, a solid experience—I’ll definitely be back!
• Shae (10/5): - As non-gamblers, we can't comment on the gambling aspect, but the hotel and rooms themselves were clean and it offered more than your average hotel. We did have a blood stain on our sheets and they offered to move us to a different room, but we chose to get different sheets instead. Free coffee in the morning, but no free breakfast. Free parking, felt safe leaving the car in the parking lot, even in that community. I would not recommend walking around the area, as Wheeling Island is run-down, but it was a short drive to everything Wheeling and the surrounding area has to offer. Good price for what you get, BUT we added a second weekday night and it was $20 more than buying through Expedia. Check your pricing before buying.
• John (8/5): - The pillows suck. No tissues in rooms. The food was just ok. Did like you moved I’d check in to the gaming floor instead of having to do that every time you had to exit the casino. Also no other casino expects id’s to enter their casino’s
• Tamia (4/5): - It would be great if a refrigerator and microwave was included. Also it’s quite outdated with a bit of a smell. The price is okay though.
• Mark (10/5): - Tha Pointe Restaurant is awesome in the Casino. Great food and good service.
• 6tanyak (8/5): Fun area - kind Staff - Clean rooms and friendly staff. Free sodas and coffee in the casino was a nice touch, although a lot of slots were broken down. I still recommend.
• keith (10/5): - awesome in all facets
• FarAway366876 (10/5): Great Place to Visit - Their buffet is terrific! Great selection and food is tasty. They have a restaurant called the Pointe Sea & Steak that is more of an upscale restaurant and their food and service is top notch. In the casino, they have a lot of the latest slot games that are fun to play. Their employees are very kind and helpful!
• Lisa (4/5): - room smells musty the hallway was dirty and had awful smell my husywent to four floor no vending machine had water ours the ice machine was broken and pops were sold out the noise from hallway loud tv hard to find station and was not very cold
• jodic2025 (6/5): Rip off - I hate that you don't win. I have spent alot of money here and they don't pay out or let you play at all. It's ridiculous. And the free play is a joke...
• Michael (10/5): - Good
• Roger (4/5): - Nothing kid well organized.
• Michele (8/5): - Breakfast options very limited
• Rexter (8/5): - For an overnight stay, room wasn't bad. But if someone plans to do a weekend stay, a fridge would be nice. Beds are double instead of queen so it's a bit smaller if you're used to queens in other hotels. Room itself had a lot of space to lay things out but still be able to walk around. As far as the casino goes: - having never gone here in many many years, it made me appreciate Ohio's no smoking ban. Yes there is non smoking area, but majority of the casino was smoking area, but thankfully not enough people were around to really fill the place up with a ton of smoke. - lots of machines and spacious. machines are not too close to each other where it can get crowded quickly. - One end section that was fill with multiple different buffalo games was nice.
• 587shellyg (10/5): Always a good time!!! - I visit often and play the slots and bet the dogs, the selection of slots are very good, my boyfriend plays the table games. We always have a good time, win or loose. The casino is clean, and the staff is very pleasant. They always call ypu by your name when entering and wish you good luck. That may not sound d like.much to some, I feel it is a very nice gesture.
• Kathy (10/5): - Had a great time. Wasn’t thrilled about allowing smoking throughout the casino.
• Francis (8/5): - Room sink had a slow drain. Seemed dark inside by guest services. Website should show that some food venues are closed for remodeling. Other than that, we had a great time.
• Kalie J (10/5): - Would stay again
• Steven (4/5): - We checked into our room in the early afternoon. The sink in the bathroom would not drain. We were moved to another room as we were told that they had no maintenance on duty. We checked into the second room only to find out that this sink also would not drain. We were then moved to a third room. The manager on staff did go up to check the sink in this room. We had to cart our luggage down to the check-in desk twice. No maintenance on a Wednesday afternoon? I don’t think we would stay here again.
• 503devinp (10/5): Large amounts of slot machines and food selection - Great food and an endless variety of machines! This is one of the biggest casinos around and there are enough machines to keep you busy for days.
• william (8/5): - room smelled terrible, strong smell of marijuana.
• karenfD7566ST (6/5): Exceptional staff. Nice room. Dreadful casino. - The staff was beyond exceptional, from the buffet to the dealers. Our room was clean and comfortable. But the casino was dark, smoky and depressing. I lost a LOT of money over three days, some of the tightest slot machines I have ever encountered. The racetrack was nice but check your ticket before you leave the window - the clerk put in the wrong race number and cost us a winning race. The food court is being renovated. The buffet was good, but pricey. Overall, it was an average stay but I don't think I'll be going back.
• X529QTjodil (10/5): Great Girls Night Out - I enjoyed my experience at Wheeling Island Casino. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the food at the buffet was great and the variety of slot machines made me want to play all night! I will be back for sure!
• kamarie33 (8/5): Casino has improved. Worth a try - Casino has improved since 6 or 7 yrs ago. It is cleaner and offers a lot of new slots. If you go on the right days and the right time, you can go to the newer buffet.
• James (2/5): - Nothing
• Dawn (10/5): - Overall a great place to stay with friendly people. Better selection of food would be my only recommendation
• Jeff (10/5): - Nice
• Ruth (4/5): - Everything went good, except our toilet wouldn’t flush and the sink filled up with water and took forever to drain.
• Kimberly (8/5): - Room was good size and clean. Staff was nice.
• Christopher (10/5): - Excellent service and everyone was very nice. Bubble craps wasn’t working on my second day but I went and played some blackjack. Room was nice and clean, and the only thing I can say is that my bathroom shower needed recaulked.
• Navigator20326756324 (10/5): Great Casino!! - Great Casino! Huge selection of slots and great table games. The buffet is wonderful! We always enjoy our visits to Wheeling Island Casino!
• Blue117 (10/5): Great time - Had a great time lots of fun and food would recommend going for lots of fun and great food bring some friends too I will definitely be back
• 32joanm (6/5): Pleasant enough - June 14 2025 Food court is currently being renovated, so there is no food available before 11 am. Coffee is placed on hotel's third floor from 6 am to 10 am. Room is spacious, clean and comfortable but entire building smells faintly like cigarette smoke. Staff is pleasant and accommodating.
• Ann Marie (8/5): - Excellent water pressure. Very clean. Would have liked a breakfast option onsite.
• Susan (8/5): - Soon as you walk in you can smell smoke , that was a turn off . Room was clean but dated . Hall carpet could you cleaning. But the price was great. All rooms non smoking which was a bonus & food was good especially for us late checkin pp
• Charles (10/5): - It was clean.
• Laurine (2/5): - Plumbing in tub & sink backing up. hard to take a shower and use the wash basin..Hallway very nosiy.
• EDWARD (4/5): - Nice casino. Hotel is okay but old. Needs renovation. We had a third floor room which had a terrible view of the casino roof. Ice machine did not work on the floor. Had to go to the fourth floor for a working ice machine. Loud humming noise all night in the room. Have to stand in line with people getting casino cards to check in. Only one person on duty.
• Michael (10/5): - Very comfortable and enjoyable Didn’t care to walk for coffee though
• Dennis (10/5): - Wonderful property. Very professional and helpful staff. Awesome dinner buffet.
• Bill (8/5): - We traveled to the area for a golf trip. It was nice having the casino and racetrack for post golf entertainment.
