Hail Caesar's
Oh my GOD, I love the casino!
JP drove us along the winding road to sin city... OK, it wasn't that bad really.
Twenty minutes along the Ohio River to Caesar's - in the middle of no where - Riverboat Casino Resort.
Featuring:
A 5 story humungous parking garage.
An 8 story hotel
9 Restaurants and
over 40 shops
ALL ON LAND.
Then you take the bridge across the railroad tracks, go down the escalators, and cross the plank onto a rickety old riverboat that's masked as a 4 deck (no pun intended) casino.
It really is pretty nice, and the dealers were actually kind of nice, friendly, and even funny at times.
After a short session of Carribbean Stud where I barely broke even, I decided to move on to other games. I watched JP win $40 on Roulette and tutored him on BlackJack, then I decided to get serious about my cards.
As luck would have it, I was dealt a couple pretty good opening hands on Hold 'em. A-K, A-K, A-J suited. Those three hands netted me about $400. That gave me enough cushion to try some Three card poker. After a slow start, I ended the game with Straight, Straight, Flush, Straight...for another $375.
When it was all done and over, JP and I headed back to the hotel with about $700 of Caesar's money.
Hail Caesar!

I'm impressed! I'm going to have to take casino lessons from you.
