I'm curious what people's qualifications are for a "good" casino. I think that's going to come down to preference, and thus they'll never be able to please everyone.

I'm not a gambler. I don't find it enjoyable. If I want to play blackjack, I would consider a trip to a casino, but it's much easier to just get a group of people and have a small poker tournament (which I generally do find more enjoyable than playing against strangers, while paying too much for booze).

But my original point was just that some people will like no smoking, and some people will hate it. Some people appreciate $25 minimum bets and $8 drinks to keep out the riff-raff, and some people will want $3.50 drinks and $5 minimum bets so they can really PLAY without going completely broke. The problem is that $5 bets means that every deadbeat dad in the county will be there on payday, spending junior's child support, and making the classy clients feel like their wallet is about to get stolen.

it's hard to strike a good balance.

I'd be more tempted to go inside if the exterior wasn't a complete assault on my eyeballs.


Make my point yet?

Go to Hollywood Casino on a Monday or Tuesday early evening towards the beginning of the month. Let me know how many blue hairs you see hooked up to oxygen tanks while smoking Virginia Slims and sitting at the nickle slots for the last 6 hours trying to get the most out of their social security checks. They're just as bad as the dead beat dads IMO. I'd rather sit at a table with a dead beat dad than get run over by some 122 year old bitty in a hover round trying to jump on the machine that Dorothy just got done spending the last 4 hours of her (ever so quickly shortening) life at, or have to play next to Earl who's hooked up to oxygen, smoking a cigarette, and hacking all over me, while I worry if I'm going to have to (god forbid) put my mouth up to his crusty pie hole to resuscitate him if he actually did win some sort of jackpot and had a coronary.

But yes, same difference. I get your point. Either way, the riff raff at casinos sucks, but it makes for FANTASTIC people watching and is a great ego boost

Gawd!!!! Why do I find this strangely erotic...

Well true.. I agree with that.. I am certainly no expert.... I was only mildly interested in going in the first place.. and then I think after all the hype, I was just surprised how disappointed I was.

just thought i would share

I may go some time to check out the food.

Or if they end up having a good show.

Personally not a big gambler. If I do, it is usually at a $5 or $10 black jack table.
