Preview of Our Great Escape

We are planning our Great Escape this year same places as last year except for adding Tunica. We are going opposite this year going first to HS Indiana and ending in Joliet. We are taking a little longer this Year with a 3 night stay and 2 2 night stays. We’re leaving Tuesday evening and staying at my sister’s house in Columbus.

Sept. 12-15

Leaving Columbus for HS Indiana. We have 3 nights comped, 2 buffets each and $20 comp for Legends. We also have $55 in freeplay and $70 mystery bonus. I have $40 and need to earn 625 tier credits and Dennis has $30 for 475 tc. We could take this amount or get a different amount which could be lower. We’re thinking we would probably keep this as its likely to be lower. They also have a free buffet each day with 25 tier earned. We will also be there for Happy Hour at the DL on Thursday. Plan to do some pool time.

Sept. 15-16

Spending the night at Metropolis as the only place we could comp Saturday. I plan to go to Church which is a couple blocks away. We’ll get a picture of Superman this trip. We’re thinking of trying the Range Steakhouse there. Probably take a peak at the DL. Hope to get up early to head to Tunica.

Sept. 16-18

Hope to get to Tunica to catch the Browns Vs Bengals somewhere probably at Roadhouse. Wondering if the NFL ticket would be in a DL if they’re open then. We will be staying at HS Tunica and gambling at Roadhouse. We hope to get to the pool. Might see about visiting Memphis.

Sept 18-20

Saint Louis for our second and final Harrh’s SL trip. We really like this place and regret that it’s been sold. We hope to see the Arch and tour the brewery. They have a multi point scan each day.

Sept. 20-21

On to Joliet where we have $70 in freeplay. We were only there 1 time last year and have been getting regular offers. It’s nice that we made it to use this one.

Sept. 21

Heading home, hopefully, with some great memories and maybe some cash.



I’ve been reading others reports here and researching others. If there is anything anyone can add about promos or road problems etc. would appreciate your input.

If anyone happens to be in any of these places, we would love to meet you. We are both diamond so we could each take a guest to the DL.


At Horseshoe SI be sure to get to the Diamond Lounge early as it fills up really fast. We were there in early August and all the tables and seats were gone before Happy Hour even started. We knew it was popular and arrived about 15 minutes early. There are regulars that come every week and camp out there drinking for the entire time. Hot food is served at the same time and they bring out desserts around 9:00.

Judy - we will be right behind you! Metropolis on Sept 16, Tunica (Horseshoe) on the 17th and then onto Bossier City for the evening of the 18th. We are Diamond as well, so maybe we can meet up in Tunica on the 17th!

May you both have a great and profitable trip.

Have a great trip. The DL ,in Metropilis is a lovely room and they do serve a full meal on weekends, so you will lck out. Personally, I don't care to drink out of paper cups in a DL.

I really liked Roadhouse and the DL at Horseshoe. They have a pretty good spread, also.

Have fun.

BethGarden-Yes, we know all about Happy Hour at HSI. It's a treat just to watch them drinks flying. They do have some pretty decent food, but those little paper plates are weird for the kind of food they offer. You can actually leave and come back before 9:00 for additional drinks and take them out as well.

DaveOKC-Yes it would be nice to meet on the 17th in Tunica maybe at the DL. We can share travel stories

Art-Thanks! Hope to meet up with you again one of these days. We were almost contemplating Cherokee. Too bad its only 1 point.
Judy: yes it would be some what out of your way. But if you ever get down this way it is worth the visit even if you don't play there. It's a beautiful facility with all the recent updates.
Teach8-Thank you for the tips about Metro. I have seen the video of the DL which looks pretty nice. I agree with the paper cups. I get bummed when I can't get a wine glass. Funny that many of us are going to the same places. Too bad we didn't match up somewhere to have a group toast. We'll have to have one onling when we get our rewards!
Good luck on your trip. FYI--Horseshoe SI is running a promo for a free buffet this month (gamble for 30 minutes and get 25 points ? and get a free buffet). good once a day. Hope your trip goes better than ours--we went south and greeted Isaac. The race is a great excuse to go site seeing LOL.
There's always next year! I was limited to dates this year since I am still teaching.
