downtown grand drinks

  I don't get the problem some have with receiving a drink in a plastic cup from a bar or server. Now if I was sitting down to a meal, I would much prefer my drink in a glass. If being served a drink in a plastic cup is the  reason for not frequenting a casino - well....

The Downtown Grand seems pretty clean and not much going on during the day.  Maybe it gets a little crowded and rowdy in the evenings.  It looked like they have removed some of their machines and added a few more black jack tables.  I hope the changes they are making help them to be secessful.  When you order a drink , don't get wine in a plastic cup,  get a beer  or seltzer or hard lemonade in a bottle or can and have some fun.

I agree Some cocktails just don't work in a plastic cup.

Gin and Tonic, Screwdriver, or Rum and Coke in a plastic cup, not biggie, but there is no way a martini should ever be served in anything but glass.  I take it you don't drink martinis.  To each his own. 

 Edso - you are correct, I don't and never have drank a martini. Beer, rum and coke, wine - those I have drunk. I wish someone would tell me why drinking a martini out of a glass is more proper/correct than drinking one out of a plastic cup. Is it a Miss Manners thing, a cultural thing, a hoity toity thing or is it really just a preferred thing. My take is - whether in a bottle, plastic cup, glass, paper cup - all I care about is having an alcohliic beverage that I can consume. But like you said and I agree, to each their own. I still maintain that refusing to patronize a place because they serve their drinks in a plastic cup is tomfoolery.

Yes, just personal preference + previous experience.  And, I'll admit there are plastc cups and there are plastic cups.  The time I was brought one in plastic, it was the kind you can crush in your hand when finished, not the nice looking ones. 

Coffee is OK, in fact preferable, in a sturdy paper cup.  I have been served coffee in a glass cup (with handle), and in that case I'd rather have paper.  But as long as I am politely served what I ask for, no problem.  Never, though, is coffee acceptable in a plastic cup for any reason anywhere.

During the worst of covid restrictions, limes, as in for a G&T, were forbidden, supposedly "no fresh fruit".  I think it depended, but even on airplane you could get the G&T but no lime.  Some places started using the gin with lime flavoring.  In that case I just ordered something else that didn't require limes.  I was known to slice a lime or two at home and bring them in a zip loc bag.  Worked OK as long as I remembered.  My friend would call and say "Don't forget your limes!"  

Ha ha...paper or plastic?

I'm fine with the plastic cups.  I just don't get a martini then, and go with a  bottle of beer.  No need to stay away from a place because of plastic cups.
