Last day of greyhound racing today. They want to put a hotel where the racetrack is.

I went to the buffet before going upstairs to the Dog races and it was pretty awful. The buffet was dead with no more then 10 or 15 people in it which should of been a warning to us. The food on the buffet was cold and had been sitting out for hours. This buffet is in trouble and loosing money big time. I think times are slow for this whole casino in general. I'm not saying they are not making money on weekends but I think the casino is lucky to break even during the week.

--"club house" should be one word.
--"no more then" should be "no more than".
--"should of" should be "should have".
--"loosing" should be "losing".
No one can take the criticisms of an uneducated charlatan seriously.
--The fact that you are reviewing a buffet in Council Bluffs is idiotic. I'm sorry that the buffet didn't measure up to the Bellagio in Las Vegas, but what did you expect? It's Council Bluffs after all.
But what did you expect? It's Omaha people eating here after all.omahacacher wrote:--Why capitalize the word "Dog"?GRANDPASMUCKER wrote:I went to the Dog races Friday night and the club house was packed.

Did you cater this buffet yourself or something? It seems like your taking a casual commentary on a mediocre buffet awfully personally.omahacacher wrote:--Why capitalize the word "Dog"?GRANDPASMUCKER wrote:I went to the Dog races Friday night and the club house was packed.

I was at the Horseshoe yesterday and a couple of guys were installing about 6 65inch LG big screen TVs on the wall right next to the current horse and dog racing betting area. I also glanced at the Whiskey Roadhouse and it was untouched. I wonder if the Horseshoe is not sure if sports betting will catch on and they are going to just open a small operation to start and if it goes well then they will expand into the Whiskey Roadhouse. Amerisports bar at Ameristar is going to be a great place for their sportsbook.Uffda wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 8:59 amJust read that the Amerisports Bar/Ameristar and the Whiskey Roadhouse/Horseshoe will be the areas turned into the Sports Books.GrandpaaSmucker wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 2:17 pm Horseshoe Casino and Harrahs in Council Bluffs both had plans approved yesterday by the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission to build Sports Books.

With betting illegal in Omaha I think it would be stupid to bet with a bookie when you could go to Iowa and be within the law and protected by the law. I can't stand most bookies and most of them are shifty and shady. I love that mafioso stuff on the Sorpranos and in the movies but in real life those type of guys get sickening real quick......not to mention I could get arrested for betting with them. I think I am normal on those points.Trips wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 10:51 am The Whiskey Roadhouse will be shut down starting Sunday for two weeks. The current simulcast betting area is currently not big enough for the guys betting the horses. The Whiskey area will have both horses and sports betting in it.
I'm guessing that this is one part of the casino that will not get a lot of money from Nebraska. I see very little reason that someone from here would place a bet unless they are offer free drinks or some players club. It is much easier to play on credit from home or to hit up your neighborhood establishment that will take the action.
There ain't no such thing as a good bookie. Lets get that fact out of the way first I never been cut off by any bookie in my entire life. Those kind of guys are not exactly social workers. The only way a bookie cuts you off is if you owe him money from last week.blueblood wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2019 10:48 am A good Omaha bookie will give u some credit, allows you to bet anyplace internet is available, and will meet anyplace u want to exchange cash. When was the last time you remember a guy betting $20-500 on sports busted in Omaha? The new places will be fun for special events but way too inconvenient for the normal weekend gambler. What would scare me is being able to bet sports on a credit card. A bookie will give you a set limit and cut you off, a credit card won't do that. If they let people bet w their credit cards or get cash via credit cards in Iowa that is a problem.
