One overall score out of ten, built from four things every good casino hotel has to earn. Here's what feeds into it, and why no hotel can pay for a better place on the list.
How wide and well run the table spread is, whether the poker and slot offering holds up, and whether high-limit play is handled with proper discretion.
The comfort and character of the rooms, the strength of the kitchen and bars, and whether the hotel earns a second night on its own merits.
How the setting reads, how easy the hotel is to reach by rail, road or air, and what's worth doing once you step outside.
Whether limits are clear, staff are trained to notice trouble, and help is genuinely easy to find in both the UK and Canada.
Aces & Atria accepts no payment for placement, score or review. These are fictional concepts scored purely as illustration, but the discipline behind the method is real — every hotel, UK or Canadian, is measured against the same yardstick.
