Local Casinos

Was thinking about getting a casino hotel too and doing some gambling this weekend. Which would you recommend? I have some harrahs points but seems like that place is sort of dead and in need of renovation.

Thanks!

Thanks, I'm going to give it a try!

great cafe there...good games...have fun

As for restaurants, Crazy Olive's is good for casual dining (the chicken fried chicken is outstanding), the steakhouse is very good and, while I'm usually not a big fan of buffets, theirs is quite good. Have a fun time!!!

Argosy
Ameristar's a distant 2nd, maybe the Pinnacle folks that now control that can turn it around.

Did you do it babe?? win??

I gave it a whirl but no winnings. Nice place though. Thanks for the tip!

I need to go back with room reservations and give it another try.

The Argosy .Nice rooms and the big walk in shower with the rain shower head and bench is awesome.

the shower is awesome for wild sex!

I like the Argosy, but find it hard to win there, particularly craps due to long hard scrabble tables. Its appearance is the most Vegas-like in the area followed by Hollywood which is also run by the Argosy people. It's similarly hard to win there, but for the opposite reason--short bouncy tables. You want your dice to bounce around as little as possible. As such, I like Harrah's to play craps. Smaller tables with fair bounce tops. You can win. The hotel there is nice, but is tied in somehow with the casino ventilation because cigarette smoke is at least mildly present even in non-smoking rooms in noticeable concentrations. I won't stay there as a result.
