In fact, many visitors have called Double Eagle a “mini-Vegas hotel and casino!”  For the past few decades, the Double Eagle Hotel and Casino has welcomed hundreds of thousands of players with open arms. You’ll enjoy a luxurious stay in one of their 158 recently remodeled hotel rooms and you’ll be a short elevator ride away from hundreds of unique slot machines and games.
