I walked past a couple people who hit on slots, one was $1800 and the other was $750.

What surprised me was no adjoining hotel.

I asked about that, they have a deal with downtown hotels not to build one until overall occupancy hits a certain level. They have developed great relationships with the major downtown properties.

I will eventually make my way down there sometime, but I'm really in no hurry.

To clear a few things up. I was there for 8 hours today. I will be there for 50 hours every week haha. I understand that a lot of people feel uncomfortable outside of their setting, but there is really nothing to worry about IMO. I asked if I could conceal carry while and work and the answer was no. You may not bring a concealed weapon into the casino. There are security guards watching all over the garages and all of the parking areas. If your worried about getting mugged walking out with a big load of cash, then you simply ask security to escort you to your car and they will free of charge without a gripe. Pretty simple. As for the table minimums, they will go down. Craps table was $15 all day long today. It will continue to go down, but you may never see a $10 dollar table. It's opening week, why not press the limits. 90% of the people are new, bear with them. Kinks will get worked out and dealers will get better. It's a new business and new businesses take time to improve. This casino is a great thing for the city, and it should be enjoyable to all. Parking is no issue at all. Are you going to the casino and planning on not gambling or eating or anything during the day M-F? If so, then you will have to pay for parking. The reason they do this is to keep businessmen in the city from coming here and parking for work for free. Makes total sense and I think it's a good move. As far as the hotel, they are aloud to break ground to build a hotel in two years. This was a stipulation to build the casino. They are working with many other hotels downtown which all have running shuttles to and from 24 hours a day. They will also comp you at these hotels. Any other questions, please feel free to ask. It is an excellently run company and they truly care about their employees and guests. The slot machines will also have good payouts and I can promise you that. Just today while I was there, someone won a 32,000 jackpot. Go in with an open attitude and mind and realize mistakes will be made, but this is a great thing for the city and it will only go up from here.

They said today on 700 that they couldn't break ground on a hotel for 5 years. Is that false?

It is my understanding that they can break ground in two years but it can't open for 5. That is how I understood it. May be wrong.

It may be "dark" in there

 

I was with your post until you just posted one of the most ridiculous and insensitive things I've ever read on this site. Good Lord, what century is it?

What are you referring to?

I heard about that on their Facebook page. They hit it on a $100 slot machine in the high limit area. I'm really looking forward to visitiing (often). Love that it is non-smoking!

 

Quick question for you, RedlegJ - Do they have any lower Blackjsck tables there? By that, I man lower in height, not money. Problem I have at the casino is that almost all the tables games are too high for me. Another big hassle I ran into in Vegas was chairs that were bolted to a plate in front of the machine, such that they couldn't be moved. I think they were mostly on certain video poker machines.

I'm starting to think people in Ky don't cross the river much. It's not the west side of Chicago.

I give it 2 weeks and there will be a serious crime or murder down their.

No, sometimes it's worse. Let's not pretend Over the Rhine is Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. I get the concern, Over the Rhine is pretty much in the casino's front yard. I frequent Cincy, most of the time it's fine, sometimes, there's trouble and not mild trouble. That said, I'm sure the casino will do a decent job of security. The last thing they want are muggings, fights or worse because that would be the worse publicity they could get.

At the casino or near by? If it happens to a patron, it'll drive people away for sure.
