I posted some photos and discussions of that visit about a year ago. I did receive a promotional email recently, and I see that this weekend they are having some sort of charity weekend event that includes allowing non-registered guests enter the casino for a $10 donation. I'm not sure just how that fits with the rules of the enabling legislation for that casino. Entry is supposedly restricted to members and registered guests by law. |

Looks like we will be there in April on vacation, so I too am looking for reviews and will certainly post mine!

| Doc Member since: Feb 27, 2010 Threads: 21 Posts: 2819 | When I visited in April 2010, the Tavern Casino had table minimums of $5 for 3CP and Roulette and $10 for blackjack. It would not really surprise me if similar limits applied for the full casino. As I mentioned in my report last year, I didn't get the impression that they were really trying to make their money directly from the casino -- just one more of the many grand amenities at a resort where you pay for your stay rather than getting it comped. I don't think I have seen anything about minimums on-line for the Greenbrier or most any other casino. |

these things of course can change anyway. But if there were more reviews, that's the place maybe to get a handle on it. btw, have you noticed that in looking at online reviews you have to screen out the real sourpusses? There's always a bunch of folks who are miffed about something, and in many cases it just seems like they were complaining about a bad day at the slot machines. [not that there are any reviews I've seen re the Greenbrier one way or the other.] "Baccarat is a game whereby the croupier gathers in money with a flexible sculling oar, then rakes it home.

Nice how our professional lifetime politicians plans took care of themselves and we were left to fry!! Can't imagine being locked up with a bunch of politicians and forced to breed!! I'll take my chances with the nuclear fallout! |
