Cincinnati Horseshoe sends mailer

Today my hubby and I got free play at the New Horseshoe opening in Cininccati in two weeks. They open March 4 and the freeplay ($20 and $30) is good for March 6 or 7. We are both Diamond and have been for a few years.
Anyone get an invitation to their soft opening like the people in Cleveland did?

Anyone know if there will be a seperate entrance for Diamond card holders?

Nothing here. Drats. They are reporting that you have to pay to park unless you park downtown and they will bus you to the casino. Still not sure about the entire location.

This from Cleveland.com:

"CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Unlike the Horseshoe Casino Cleveland, a Horseshoe scheduled to open March 4 in Cincinnati will offer free parking, no strings attached, during prime gambling hours.

Except when special events are held in the area, drivers who park their own cars at the Cincinnati casino will be able to do so free from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. during the week and all day on weekends. On weekdays, during "conventional business hours," the casino will charge up to a $14 maximum."

I will check this out on Sunday but my understanding is during the work week it does cost to park but if you play for 30 minutes you will get the parking comped. This is similar to Harrah's in New Orleans. I was there for 9 days last year and saved a bundle by playing at least 30 minutes each day as parking at my condo was $26 per day.

I've been there several times during the week during the day and they haven't been charging to park.

I will not be checking this out this Sunday as I expected to arrive about Noon but I just noted that the Reds play the Nats at 1:10 so I will not be going anywhere near the Great American Ballpark that day. However I did verify the fact that if you play for 30 minutes (15 tier credits earned), poker for one hour, or if you spend $25 at the gift shop or at an eating place, your parking will be comped during business hours or special events so there is no reason to ever pay for parking. Now if they could just get their hotel partners to project room comps more than 3 days in advance I might go over the Cincy for a couple of days.

Parking update - Parking is now free in the casino garage 24/7 or so the CET website says.
