Caesars Windsor Alcohol Rules

Just this month Caesars Windsor instituted a new rule that you cannot bring any outside liquor into their hotel.
You can still purchase booze from room service, so unless it was a different brand I don't think the maids would know or care where that bottle of wine in your room came from.
I always bring some with me. Now I will just have to be more discreet.
I am guessing the reason for this is to
A. Force us to pay their ridiculously high prices for booze and
B. Curtail the drunken parties that the young people have. You see them bringing in cases of beer etc....

Do they not serve free drinks?Quote: Blonde4ever

I can't imagine ever needing to BYOB to a casino in vegas. It's practically free if you don't count tipping.
Lat time I purchased a bottle of alcohol was for a house party or perhaps a gift.
I suppose one may drink in his or her room.
♪♪Now you swear and kick and beg us That you're not a gamblin' man Then you find you're back in Vegas With a handle in your hand♪♪ Your black cards can make you money So you hide them when you're able In the land of casinos and money You must put them on the table♪♪ You go back Jack do it again roulette wheels turinin' 'round and 'round♪♪ You go back Jack do it again♪♪

No alcoholic drinks can be given away in Ontario
Not even in the Diamond Lounge
Yes it was to slow down the young folks beer party in the hotel rooms....somebody can always get a free room to party in
Add that its 19 to drink in Ontario and 21 in Michigan and well you get the idea
Seen a few people heading across the bridge into the casino with over night bags and security was NOT checking any of them

Most places in the Midwest don't serve free drinks either, including my home state of Missouri. I also go to Tunica fairly often and that's a significant reason.

Right...no free booze, sadly.
I just stayed there for a few days. (Sunday to Tuesday)
I noticed lots of big new "NO ALCOHOL BEYOND THIS POINT" signs.
Also at the foot of both room towers there was a podium for a guard to stand at.
That is new.
But I never saw them manned.
Maybe they only bother manning them on weekends or something.
I did bring a mickey in my suitcase.
I am assuming they won't be checking suitcases.
(I hope I am right!)

I was pissed when I used the on screen ordering to order a non alcoholic daiquiri and they charged me $4
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

Just a quick question.... did you eat at the casino during your stay? If so what did you think of the food offered

We went to the Windsor Caesars buffet about a year ago, and it was just OK. We had been hoping for better.
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

Agreed. The Horseshoes in Cleveland and Cincinnati are much better.Quote: JohnnyQWe went to the Windsor Caesars buffet about a year ago, and it was just OK. We had been hoping for better.
Headed down to Cleveland today to use my January buffet comp, aw yeah!

I live in this city so I visit the casino often and have eaten in pretty well all of their establishments.
The only thing I ate this time was room service and the buffet.
The buffet is hit or miss.
It certainly isn't Wynn or Bacchanal.
Don't touch their meatloaf or beef stroganoff.
Not sure how they make those taste bad but they do.
They have a good "make your own pasta dish" section, the sushi is good, the desserts are awesome.
You won't leave hungry.

I used my DIAMOND DINNER credit at LEGENDS with a few family members. Two of us ordered the ribs and they sucked bigtime. So much so that my uncle called the manager over to ask her to try them. She said she couldn't. He told her he was amazed that the casino would allow this garbage to be sold there. We felt sorry for the lady at the table next to us that got to hear this conversation after she ordered the same ribs
ADD the ribs at Legends to the list of must avoid food

I stopped getting ribs. It seems like they are bad more often than not.

Casino Windsor Ltd. was an okay place when it opened in the latter 90's, but has since steadily gone downhill.
I could tell some real stories from that place, but not here. Don't want the "aggravation".
Suffice it to say, the day after "911" hit, it permanently lost 3/4th's of its business. The Americans could always get across to Canada okay, but their own border security then clamped down on them as they return. A lot of people got tired of trying to remember about guns, etc, in their trunks. Windsor cops do regular searches for the stuff the Americans remember while crossing the bridge to Canada, and toss out of their car windows on the way over the bridge.
Nonsense is a very hard thing to keep up. Just ask the Wizard and company.

I have eaten at Legends lots of times and never had anything awful.
It is all a matter of opinion I guess.
I have had a fancy dinner at Nero and that was lovely.

I have a good burger at Johnny Rockets...I have had decent meals Artists Cafe.
The food is all fine as far as I am concerned.
(It is Caesars Windsor...hasn't been Casino Windsor for years. And they don't appear to be hurting for business lately.
It is busy every time I have visited.)

"Numerous rounds of layoffs have left the Windsor facility with fewer than 3,000 employees, down from more than 5,000 in the late ’90s," February 18nd, 2013. There's been quite a few more since 2013.

They had two extremely busy locations going before they put up the single new building.
