it has been a long time since I went to a new casino. last month I got a random phone call from Heather, where she explained that Harrah’s was opening a new (remodeled, I believe) Horseshoe near Chicago. I was jealous, and she knew I would be, hence the random phone call.

I had the oppotunity to go a couple last week and I can’t say I was dissapointed. The casino itself is Nice. I have only been to the Hollywood in Auraura previously and this place definitely blows it away. The worst thing about the casino was the fact that you have to pay for drinks, but I’m quickly becming accustomed to it with other indian casinos. It still sucks though.

Both nights I played I stuck with craps, for better or worse. The minimums were decent ($10 = nice) and I’m not sure what the caps was on odds, but I never exceeded it. My first night was marred by what were probably the worst craps dealers I have ever played with. We are talking worse than Resorts in AC.

The second night when I caught up with Heather we had a much better table, though the minimums were up to $15. We had an awesome exchange with some drunks kids that were at the table with us. I finally got to use my extensive knowledge of “Don’t tell mom, the babysitter is dead”. I knew that would come in handy at some point.

All in all the casino experience was good. I will definitely be visiting again next time I go to Chicago; and who knows, I might even play in their fantastic looking poker room.
