To enter the Meridian Room you need a red Crown card or to go with someone who has one. There is usually someone on the door checking cards but if there isn’t the door is closed and you will need to put your red card in and the doors will open. There are free soft drinks and coffee on the ground level and a café upstairs where you receive about 20% off all menu items if you are a red card holder. The food in the café is ok. There a mix between burgers, fish and chips and some Asian noodles too. Most meals are under $ 20 and the portions are quite filling. On the ground level there is usually a live band where you can sit and enjoy or play pokies. As well as this there is a bar but the drinks and cocktails do not seem at all cheaper than the other bars within the casino. There are a lot of older people in here but if that doesn’t bother you than that’s fine, doesn’t bother me :)
