Harrah's Joliet is definitely crowded and the selection of machines is not to my liking. We live right between Joliet and Hammond but it takes us 20 min. to get to Joliet and 40 to get to Hammond. That said with the change that Joliet made to their slot floor last year while we used to prefer going there as we are non smokers we now prefer to go to Hammond.
I'll check it out this Monday. I really love Harrah's in North Kansas City, but it is so far to drive.Originally Posted by Curlyd
I will be comparing the two Harrah's for sure. I will find out if the slots at Hammond are as loose as KC's and will find out if their staff is as friendly also.
Also want to compare the Diamond lounges and Buffets.
As far as comparing CW service, unless we decide to spend the night, I won't be drinking.
I'd love to meet you and Sharon out there one day, GG!
Wow - I guess that I never really thought about the distance to specific CET properties for most of the gaming public. I am spoiled because I can get in my car and be at any of 4 CET properties (AC or PHL) in less than 1 hour.
Gene - shame that CET sold St. Louis to Hollywood a few years back as that was a very player friendly property like North KC - it did change when hollywood took over. I don't go there any more . Has anyone on board ever hit the CET "Metropolis" location - don't see any posts about this one.
Yeah- the host there at Horseshoe had offered me an off-site hotel but never took them up on it. I know for the higher level players they offer limo service to and from some of the higher end hotels in downtown Chicago. My parents live not too far south of the casino, so never took a hotel offer myself.
I went there a couple years ago when they had the visit casino's promo. Hit Joilet then Metropolis then Tunica(main destination) and St Louis on the way back. Metropolis was ok, was still mostly a boat(2 stories) with a add on in front and what looked like a decent size Hotel. I believe they are redoing it as Land based.
Gene,
once you get on the Radar you should start getting the junket offers, I think they do Peoria and Rockford...Free Flights to Tunica, AC & Laughlin, they are well run and use nice planes....
Actually I am already getting North Nevada's Air junket offers.
Right now all the offers are to fly out from Rockford or Chicago.
Destinations are to Laughlin, Tunica, AC, Reno, and Tahoe...but no offers for Vegas.
@goldengreeke Hubby and I have for many years gotten offers for junkets to all of those listed above but never for Vegas. We live in the Chicago area.
We have stayed in Reno (on a junket) and in Tahoe, Southern Ind, and KC and Council Bluffs all of these while on road trips.
I am curious how many people actually get junket offers to Vegas.
I was on a Junket last year with a couple that said they had gotten free Vegas trips thru http://www.grueningertravel.net/ They are a Junket Marketer in the Chicago Market. You could try calling them and see what they have to say, you are a bigger player than me. I do not understand how the system works but when I go on a Harrahs Junket I book thru Harrahs...Most others on the Plane book thru a junket operator, they seem to offer trips that Harrahs does not.
