We went for pleasure. Really nice hotel and casino, along with the restaurants. The rooms did have a funky smell, like humid, but they were nice, clean, and comfortable.

Overall great stay!
The hotel itself was beautiful, very clean, we were very happy with the size of our room. The only bad thing I can say about Buffalo Thunder is on a Friday night, they had 2 places open to eat, one of which had an hour+ wait time.

The hotel is getting a bit dated. The shower curtain wouldn’t stay in the tub and got water everywhere. The tub was really dated and the sprayer went everywhere. The air conditioner kept turning off and wouldn’t hold the temperate set. It got pretty warm.
