City buses? Forget it. Public transportation SUCKS in FL. [/ QUOTE ] I can't imagine trying to wait for a bus or whatever in Ft. Lauderdale or Tampa/St. Pete areas. NOT a good idea. Do they have pick-up/drop-off anywhere near some of these casinos? Somehow I doubt it. I haven't paid much attention to public-transportation around Florida but my guess is it's ineffective and sketchy enough to make it pretty unwise to count on it. If you don't have a car I might suggest you are probably going to need one.

[/ QUOTE ] FYP. Literally. [/ QUOTE ] And now to address the subject matter. Florida has massive urban sprawl. As a result, cities cannot afford effective mass transit like the T, the NYC MTA subway, the DC Metro, or BART. A lot of the reason high-speed rail was canceled in this state is that the mass transit in the cities to be served was insufficient. There are bus stops at the Hard Rock in Tampa, but many of the dog tracks and such are in very rural areas. I don't know about mass transit in Broward and Dade. If the buses work for you, good on ya! But in Tampa, it's a jopke.

Re: FLORIDA ALLOWING POKER GAME STAKES TO BE RAISED IN JULY!
going to the indian casinos might not be good right off the bat. they are not directly governed by florida law, so the indian gaming commision will have to approve any changes in stakes there.

Bob: I hope that you are more right about this than me. I always hedge my expectations -- it's instinct & and occupational hazard.

Re: FLORIDA ALLOWING POKER GAME STAKES TO BE RAISED IN JULY!
public transportation around the ft. lauderdale is aight. there is broward county transit with buses that serve all of broward every 25mins-1hour depending on the route, and there is also the tri-rail with trains that run from the gut of miami all the way north to west palm beach every, i think, 30 mins both ways most of the day.
miami transportation is only ok since they're so crowded down there but you can get around. they have a large bus system and two train systems.

Read the Indian Gaming Regulation Act, case law, the relevant media coverage, and threads like this, and educate yourself. 3. Post from a position of knowledge, not from out your ass.
