cfd37buckeye Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 If anybody likes to gamble, drink, or just generally have fun...... My wife and I wnt to Hollywood in Lawrenceburg, IN for a couple of nights last week. Buffet was good, played all night the first night and only lost 12 bucks. Went back to the room several times to refill my Sailor Jerry and diet coke. Just toted them over to the casino in a 24 oz bottle, no questions asked. Lost a couple hundred the second day there, but ate for free both days. The room was very nice, had a 42 inch LCD in the wall, and a nice firm king size bed. The casino is 20 times better than Wheeling, and as nice as some of the Vegas casinos I have been in. If you are a player, $10 limit was the lowest I saw and that was through the week.

rick37 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I have been to the hollywood, Nice place but I don't think I will go back. I would rather go to the grand victoria which is only about 15 minutes farther, Better table limits and not as tight as hollywood. Glad u had fun though CFD.Oh and not to worry if issue 3 passes Hollywood casino folks are building one in the arena district. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping we'd have a new place to hang out and drink for free when they built the casino here in Columbus . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfd37buckeye Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yeah, I have found out that there is nowhere like Vegas when it comes to drinking. When the machines start bustin your balls, just throw a 20 in a penny machine and it looks like you are playing a ton. Then it is party time.....find a good waitress, and a nice tip and the top shelf opens up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Ive never been to vegas. Is Argosy called hollywood now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfd37buckeye Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yeah, the old boat is still sitting there, but the new place is huge! Vegas is dirt cheap right now, even if you have to pay for a room. You can stay in nicer properties for under $59 a night. Really good time to go too, the weather is outstanding in October.

yotaman88210 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 hmm... Im kinda poor. BUT, when I do pay for a flight, im staying somewhere at least a week. Two ladies I work with are begging me to take a 3 or 4 day weekend trip to vegas with them. It would be fun, but I cant justify paying for a flight and staying somewhere only 3 or 4 days. Meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yeah, I have found out that there is nowhere like Vegas when it comes to drinking...!I drank for free for three days in Black Hawk, Colorado...and I wasn't even gambling! You just walk up to the bars in the casino and they give you the drinks at no charge. Never asked if I was gaming or not.We stayed in a casino hotel and the wife gambled, but I didn't spend shit on booze the entire time at any of the 10 or 12 casinos we went to.

I've only been to Black Hawk twice; once in the summer and once in the winter , and it was free both times.Black Hawk is located just west of Denver, see: http://www.blackhawkcolorado.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfd37buckeye Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I agree, 3-4 nights is Gods plenty in Vegas. I am usually worn out on the way home because of the all nighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I'll will most likely be in Aurora IL for work later this month, I will stop in and check out Hollywood. I am not much of a gambler, so $5 should cover me for the evening there...assuming free beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
