Napa Valley review
Located on Hwy 29 in Napa county, a few blocks north or American Canyon Road. Easiest way to get there is probably just to take the American Canyon Road exit off I-80 and go west until you hit 29, turn right and go about three blocks. The casino is a freestanding building on your right.

Atmosphere
A pleasant, open, homey place to play poker. The staff will often join in a game to liven it up or to fill it in. A few nice-sized LCD TV's on the wall keep you informed about your favorite team's progress. The high ceilings and ceiling fans keep it cool in summer; the bright fluorescent lights make it easy to read your cards and see everyone's bets.
Neighborhood: A busy major street, Broadway (usually referred to as Hwy 29) is beginning to peter out into a standard highway around here, so the businesses are spaced out and are larger: a gas station, a swimming-pool-supply store, etc. No housing nearby, so seems relatively safe, if a touch remote.
Parking: Decent-sized lot with about 40 parking spaces should handle all the traffic this small casino is likely to see.
Tables and Chairs: Standard 9-player tables with worn felt and cracked vinyl. Old-fashioned style, slightly worn, fixed-leg chairs.
Service and Comps
Every now and then, someone from the staff will ask if anyone wants anything to drink: they have a little mini kitchen where they apparently can cook up quicky meals or fix drinks.
