They had a little party at the local gambling hall today.... seems 20 years have passed since Casino Windsor opened the doors.

Not trolling, just admitting I never heard of the place till now.
Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it
Sparkles yet

You know they were required to have a Captain for that boat?
Buzz .... this is a world class casino ( okay Canadian world class)

Does Canada still have the lower drinking age? Probably moot with passports needed these days, but Michigan type states with enhanced IDs might have their kids able to taste freedom if still low.

We stayed at Casino Windsor for a couple of nights during the Christmas break. It is a nice, huge, non-smoking (go figure, eh ?) casino. The rooms are very nice there and from time to time we get an offer of a comp'd room.
I prefer the Canadian side vs Detroit.
They had $ 5 black-jack - it was the hybrid kind where there is a dealer but you make your bets on a little I-pad type touch screen device built into the table. The neat thing is that the shoe has some kind of card recognition device, so when the card slides out, it automatically displays your card count on the screen.
We also drove down River Road to go on the Distillery tour but it was closed that day.

There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

I stopped in here for the great race to rewards thing a few years ago. I sat down at a machine and ordered a drink. I knew alcohol was not free so I ordered a non alcoholic strawberry daiquiri. They are free at every other CET casino that I have been to. The waitress came over and handed it to me, then asked for $5. I couldn't believe it was $5, I wonder how much it would have been with alcohol in it.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

I really like the "self-serve" beverage stations at Caesars Windsor where you just walk-up and get a soft drink or coffee / tea. That is a nice feature. I think Motor City may have that across the river as well.

Well if you were to visit the OLD ART GALLERY land now you would want to bring your bathing suit and the kids( nieces/nephews) for a fun filled day..... the changes that have taken place in that area recently would amaze you

I have gotten spoiled by those at my local. I go to AC and have to wait for service, but free alcohol so I guess it evens out.

Great casino, always enjoyed my time there.
I even liked Windsor too. Huge selection of ethnic restaurants and groceries, and good shopping. University of Windsor has to be the most GRIM campus complex ever though. Go to a Spits game, they love their minor league hockey.

Self-service is fine, but if you're sitting at a machine, it means no service but maybe seeing a waitress once per 4+ hours. You know Rivers has bad habit of not even servicing the the self-service station late at night. One of those predatory gambling things where people decide wrongly to just keep playing until it gets fixed and it never does.Quote: GWAEI have gotten spoiled by those at my local.

Quote: IbeatyouracesThere was a newspaper article a few weeks ago suggesting that one of the three Detroit casinos won't even survive.
Here is an article on the historic losses at Greektown and its new owner, http://www.freep.com/article/20140214/BUSINESS06/302140140/greektown-casino-losses
And this one has a quote about 1 of the 3 Detroit casino's not surviving, http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20140513/BIZ/305130117
