Horseshoe Casino CLE grand opening and weekend fun








Quick casino summary...

Only waited 20 min in line to get in, though we didn't actually get in line until 1:30AM. Headed right to the poker room, where there was open seating for $1-2. A few dealers were a bit green and very slow, but still better than Nautica. Got crushed at the table for about 6 hours. Went $740 deep. Went on a run, cashed out $971 at 9:30 AM.

Lots of Nautica regulars and about a dozen from the CPMG were there. Decent buffet review here

Card room is world class as far as comfort, size, and selection of games. Once the dealers and cashiers get up to speed it's gonna be fantastic. The entire place looks fantastic.

Saw an old co-worker on the way out. He owns a deli/restaurant across the street and was checking the place out.

Went to see Jim Gaffigan Saturday night. What a great comic. Totally clean comedy.

Took mom to Pier W for dinner on Mom's day. Lobster bisque is just outta this world. Had salmon cooked on a wood plank. Mom had lobster and pasta that was amazing too.

Week before, went to Put in Bay for the Spring Fling party. Saw some old HS friends, hopped from bar to bar, then got the last ferry (7PM) back to Tomon's on Johnson's Island. Caprice and I each put $25 on Derby horses and she picked the winner. Paid 16-1. Nice. Grilled steaks, celebrated Hip's birthday with a penis-shaped cake ala Caprice, watched the super full moon rise, and just relaxed. Good times. Looking forward to SlaxFest this year.
