“The Federal Hotel in Carson City strikes me as a place of contrasts, blending casino excitement with family-friendly intentions; the on-site Max Casino, along with live entertainment, certainly injects a dose of energy. While the Black Bear Diner promises convenient dining, reports of inconsistent room quality and service leave me wondering if the experience lives up to its potential.”
