 JG> 

The payouts vary on the floor you are on.  There is a higher paying floor but
it is not open all the time... only during prime time hours and when larger
tour groups are out.

They ejected Paula Deen when there was all the controversy (that she's been
cleared of) and re-did the buffet.  It's now called the spread... and they
mean it.  The lunch buffet isn't as big as the dinner one is, but it's BIG
trust me.  I try to eat my weight in the expen$ive stuff when I can.

 JG>    I usually try to get my money's worth at the buffet, considering my

 JG> then again, she's been known to win $600 a few times as well.  I figure
 JG> at $200 loss, then I gotta eat quite a lot to make it worth our time....
 JG> ;-)  But she considers it entertainment, and we don't go that often....

Sounds like my Aunt from Cedar Rapids... she came to visit rode the Greyhound
to Louisville and did not have a return ticket.  She did not know when she
was going back because she had to be present for the settlement of another
Aunt's estate.  She made one trip with another aunt to the Horseshoe... and
didn't have a DIME to her name after that.  It was just after her Social
Security and retirement hit the bank too.  

We found out later that the senior home she lived in took their $$$ for rent
-first- then deposited the rest because she has no control.  Unfortunately
she has to be court ordered not to gamble by proof of family she is mentally
incapable of stopping... or has to voluntarily ask to be on the no gambling
lists of the casinos and their facial recognition software will get you
bounced out fast if you are in their database.
