Worth the trouble? Yes. Both Ameristar and Harrah's are very easy to get to. Just take the expressway south and get off at Armour Boulevard, and go East, following the signs. I personally prefer Harrah's over Ameristar. Harrah's management seems nicer, and there is no bad beat drop on the no-limit games at Harrah's, so I can save some on rake. Rake is 10% up to 4 dollars, plus a 1 dollar bad beat drop at Ameristar. Both casinos are nice. Avoid Isle of Capri. It's referred to as Isle of Debri or Isle of Crappy, locally.
