Here is the plan for Pat’’s and my Caesars "great race to rewards" trip.
Tues. 9/6/2011 Horseshoe Hammond, IN.
Wed. 9/7/2011 Horseshoe Elizabeth, IN.,
Thur. 9/8/2011 Harrah’’s Metropolis, IL,
Fri. 9/9/2011 Harrah’’s St Louis, Mo.
Sat. 9/10/2011 Harrah’’s Joliet, IL. ( Maybe not )
Tues. We went to Horseshoe Hammond. We Valet parked for free because of our Handicapped plates, other wise they want $10 WOW!!! The Horseshoe is large and I think it is a OK casino.
Pat loves it because when we were playing duces wild she said oh I got a royal without a duece. I have been kidding her about that because she sounded (to me) that she wanted a duece. I shut up after she cut me in, BIG TIME!!
As some of you know I have been having trouble walking and I have been using a scooter for the last few trips. Well I found a used scooter and bought it. The scooter breaks down and fits in the cars very nice. I use valet parking and the guys help load and unload it.
After the Horseshoe we went to Blue Chip I like the casino but we had the worst room that we have had in years. When we went to checkout I talked to a host and she comped he room and a breakfast buffet. After she comped us I then told her about the crappy room, she told me that I should call her and we will get a room in the new hotel. Maybe we will who knows.
Wed. Sept. 7, 2001
We went to Horseshoe Southern Indiana, Elizabeth. I hate this place. It started with both the valet and bell man refusing to help unload my scooter. It is not the guys fault but a new policy of this joint. Our reservation was messed up no two bed room but we got one after a while. The casino is about a half a mile from the hotel and that is a fact. I will not come back here unless we need a room for a trip some where.
I bought two MGD and came up to the room to type this report and will go to bed early because I am beat from last night and the trip down here. So far we have 6 casinos for the Great race and I think that is all you can get but we will swipe and put a point or two on all of the cards we have, my partners know what I mean. LOL. We did not like the Diamond Lounge at all they had some food but no servers or bus people. BTW can you tell that I am crabby? The room was ok. We lost just a little.
Thur. Sept. 8, 2011
We had breakfast and packed up the car and took off for Metropolis ,Il. To get to Metropolis you go through Kentucky. I have this to say about the drivers we meet in Kentucky, I wish that the whole USA drove as GREAT as they did!!!!!!!!!!!!! By this I mean when I put on my signal to change lanes, or to turn they let you in. WOW! Also when they passed they went back into the right lane imagine that!!!
We arrived at Metropolis had help unpacking the car and scooter also they helped packing up. The room was ready when we checked in and it was what we wanted. We scanned all of the cards and played on all of them. Pat didn’t like the boat because of all the floors, etc. The casino was ok with me because I sat at the bar and watched the Packers win. BTW all of the casinos on this trip did not comp alcohol drinks.
Friday Sept.9,2011
Had breakfast and checked out, On the way to St Louis we called Joliet and canceled our room. St Louis looks like a fine city from what we saw passing through. Our room was ready and was what we ordered. We liked the casino and the Diamond Lounge. We swiped the cards and got the points for The Great Race to Rewards etc.
Check out went fine and we were off to home. This was a 6 hr. trip with a lunch break and a few rest stops. The whole trip was 1367 miles, it went without a hitch and the traffic was ok almost all of the time.
I am glad we went but we prefer to stay more then one night at each place.
So we got our 60,000 reward credits coming. We had a cost/ loss of $965 plus gas and other credit card charges no more then $300. So not a bad trip all rooms were comped. All in all a nice trip.
I hope you were not bored with my report.
Good luck Always,
