Is it a tough drive from Dallas - I'm in town for the night and have nothing to do past 9pm and before 11am tomorrow.

[hime]

Nah, just an hour or so.

Take I-35E straight up north to exit #1 over the OK border.

Is there a constant police presence on I-35? I have a client dinner and am thinking of hitting the road afterwards. I definitely won't be drunk, but I'm always wary of driving any type of distance after 3-4 drinks.

Varies. I have noticed days where cops are every few miles then days where NONE in sight for weeks. Just don't drive during rush hour. Traffic out of Dallas will be painful.

Winstar is tight. It definitely has potential to attract WSOP or WPT circuit tournaments down the reoad. Only complaints are high rake and the tournament blind structures though. I live in Denton now so I'm only 30 minutes away, PM me if you ever wanna chill up there or plan a 2p2 party.

BTW Gainsville, the last town you pass through in Texas before you cross over into winstar country (oklahoma), is the beef cattle raising capital of america. You can get some amazon steak, barbecue or home style cooking. I also camp out there when I register for tournaments that fill up fast and don't want to blow money on the casino. There's even an all you can eat barbecue placce that can keep you happy all day. Some cool honkey tonaks an bars too. Gainsville is definitely the place to get a hotel if you're going for an overnight trip.

For a non-local visiting Fort Worth in July, when is the best time to head up I35 after work? I am staying in the University Drive & I30 area, so I'll be jumping on I30 for an exit or so to get to I35W North.
