What troll? I know most folks around here are likely to gasp at even a hint of negativity regarding the Shoe or it's poker room, but now we have to like the candy bowl too?
I just don't understand why it seems that we in this area almost have an obligation to be in awe of the Horseshoe and it's poker room, or risk being lynched. I suppose for those that have never been exposed to casinos outside the Chicago area, the Shoe would seem like the eighth wonder of the world, but how about the more-traveled of us?
I'd like to take an informal poll of those who have done a little casino "traveling," to compare the Horseshoe casino itself (minus the poker room), to other casino's, and the poker room itself to other poker rooms they have been to. I'll go first:
Horseshoe casino minus the poker room: Sub-par on almost every level. Attractive enough at first glance, but that's where it ends. No hotel. Embarassing food options (other than the buffet and steakhouse). Restrooms in which automatic flushers working improperly are almost the norm, and with cheaply-made paper towel dispensers that leave the sink area in a habitual, watery mess. On a scale of 1-10, no more than a 5.
Poker room itself: Better than most, but with some room for improvement. The room is attractive and spacious, with generally short wait times, and a friendly, courteous staff. Dealer quality comparable to most rooms, with the usual mix of many good ones, and a few who are seriously mis-cast. No promotions or incentives other than the $1 per hour for food. The high hand "promotion"
would be a promotion if the
house paid for it, or added to it. As it is, with the
players paying for all of it, it's just a forced lottery. All in all, on a scale of 1-10, I'd say 8.
Who's next!
