Is it worth it? Maybe it is. That way I can escape the uppity and often times make believe world and posts of another Las Vegas centric board I probably need to stop frequenting again.

I don't really frequent any per se. The one that comes to mind since it it fairly convenient for me is Riverside Casino. On occasion they will get Japanese, Australian and domesticated Wagyu. When they fly in flash frozen snapper it is often times fresher than I can get when I'm in Florida. That group owns several casinos, one relatively close (3 hours) to Chicago.

Isle in Waterloo had very good baccarat (midi, touch the card, higher limits), unfortunately like a lot of CZR Midwest casinos after the covid situation the dining has deteriorated. Not much left in Waterloo to my knowledge.
Quad Cities? I'd go the the one my friends own.
I have some experience and history in legal (most recently) gambling in Iowa. I quietly actually helped legalize sportsbook in Iowa, and gave some advice to some folks in Illinois I know. It goes back further than legal sportsbook, but I'll leave that part alone and unposted.
Omaha area I would go if it worked out on a football road trip to Lincoln. I mostly drive in and out the same day if I do that football road trip, and if I stayed it would be Thanksgiving night, so I've never been. Black Friday game is locked into future schedule also.
Kansas City and St. Louis I frequent, but I don't spend much time in casinos there.
What I would like to see is a non stop flight somewhere within reasonable distance to me that went to ACY. I'm not sure that I don't like ACY more than LAS these days. ACY doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't, I am very comfortable around NYC personalities, and I have others things I can do when I want to escape the casino. What I don't have is a easy way to get to ACY.
