Kevin,
You're absolutely right about the prices at Magnolia. Their prices have gone up a lot. These price increasesincludes other four queens, restaurants, like the at the Chicago brewery.
In my case these cost increases are going to cost them quite a bit of my gambling time. We'd always stay at Four Queens, Get up before Magnolia is open, play on the video poker machines then go to breakfast. After breakfast, we go back and gamble at Four Queens.
Going out again in December but we're going to hit other places for breakfast. The local restaurants like Jamms, or the hash House, have very good food and the prices are lower. There's also the Black Bear restaurant chain, which again has food that's less than magnolias. There are too many lower price, local restaurants to be forced to pay way too much for a meal.Once we're out in the morning , we're going to hit casinos that are in the area where we're Eating. Again, this will take time away from my gambling at four queens.
we had a tradition that after we land at the airport, we'd check into our room and get a pizza at Chicago brewery At four queens. This year we're going to go to Chicago brewery, but the main restaurant, the one that has the LVA Bogo coupon.. it will be much later, when we finally check into our rooms, and we may or may not go down to gamble. In total, we're going to be doing a lot less gambling at four Queens this year, just because of the cost increase at Four Queens restaurants.
These price increases are very shortsighted on their part.
