Just checking around the TR website for a CET casino that allows smoking that is closer to our town than the 7 hour drive to Kansas City or Council Bluffs.
Found out that this one is only a little over 2 hours away, which is only an hour longer drive than to my local Isle of Capri.
I don't think we have any Jokers who live in Indiana, but has anyone here ever played there?
I've never been there! I'm assuming you're referring to Horseshoe in Hammond and not the Horseshoe in Southern Indiana.

Yes, it's in Hammond, near Chicago.Originally Posted by dwwright12
Did not even know that there were two Horseshoes in Indiana.
@goldengreeke, I've been to Horseshoe a bunch of times. They have a decent game selection and a pretty big slot floor. Their buffet is very good too.
Except... No way it's only 2 hours for you. It takes me at least an hour and a half to get there, and I'm in the suburbs! And whatever you do, don't go on a day when there's a White Sox game going on.... you'll be stuck in hell!
What about Harrah's Joliet for you guys? If you take 80 towards Chicago it's right there. That would be much shorter of a drive for you than Horseshoe! I will say though that I like the machine selection much better at Horseshoe, but I go to Joliet because it's closer to me.
Never mind, I see you're looking for one that allows smoking! Joliet has those little smoking areas outside since it's banned in Illinois.
Ill. casino's are non smoking and @goldengreeke don't play that. hhh
From their web site "When you step into Horseshoe Casino, you’ll have your pick of the MOST slot machines in Chicagoland, over 3,000 machines, including 1,500 penny slots!"

Well I guess maybe since you live south of me, you might be able to bypass most of the traffic and get there in a little over two hours. I have to pretty much go right through the city (290 to 94) in order to get there and it's always a nightmare.
You'd definitely like the casino, Gene!
I have been there a bunch of times. When I go back to visit my family in Illinois it's actually the closest casino to where I grew up.
It is the one casino that seems to feel the most like Vegas near Chicago. Everyone smokes there since all the Illinois people who want to smoke go- so you'll be good. Great selection of games- seem to have everything.
Just might want to avoid the weekends, I was there once on a Saturday night and it was way too crowded to be comfortable there. Great diamond lounge there- way better than the other CET Properties- they basically have a buffet with enough where you can have a full meal there.
Thanks guys!
I was reading some reviews on TA and the only bad reviews came from the non smokers. They said the casino was full of a bunch of senior citizens sitting at the machines with cigarettes hanging out of their mouths.
Hell, that would make me feel right at home! Can't wait to go there now!!
