Calling Wheeling a shithole then suggesting Mountaineer. LOL
And for everybody who is putting in comments about the area. I LIVE 5 minutes away from wheeling downs up in the country in OHIO. Wheeling downs is located on wheeling island which is an island in the ohio river between wheeling,wv and Ohio. Although wheeling island is a low income shithole for the most part since anybody with money either lives on the ohio side or across the river in wheeling. There is nothing to worry about when going to Wheeling downs. I could park my car on the island and walk to the casino with $100 bills falling out of my pocket and shitting out gold chains and nothing would happen. This isn't columbus where you are going to get shot. There is nothing to worry about when going to wheeling island downs n casino. Yes, it isn't Vegas. Yes, its in west virginia. But if you wanna go somewhere close and want to play table games, slots, dog racing then its a cool place to go. This is all comming from a guy who doesn't even gamble.
I hope this clears up EVERYTHING in this thread. Don't be scared in the slightest to go to wheeling downs. Drive down. Stay the night in the hotel and get your gamble on.
