Another Caesars Indiana question
 

I will be heading to Caesars the 1st week of March.

What is there to do around the area besides the casino?

Can any locals recommend something?

I will be with my girlfriend (We are both 21), we usually play 8 to 14 hours of poker in a day when we go to casinos and we get bored easily by pit games.

We dont want to play poker all day, every day so I am looking for other suggestions.

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

there is nothing very close to the boat. It is about 8 miles away from anything, and even that is not much. Probably the best thing to do is head to Louisville, about 20-30 min away.

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

plan to play more poker... or head over to Louisville and go to PT's

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

Avoid the West End of Louisville.

New Albany IN is the closest town, they have a relatively new 16 screen movie theater.

Clarksville, IN has tons of restaurants, a Bass Pro Shop, Super Walmart, Big target store, lots of shopping etc.

Southern Indiana has no Nightlife to speak of.

Louisville, KY has a lot of restaurants, nightclubs, shopping, etc. It just depends on what you like and how much you want to spend.

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

Where the nearest cheap place to stay? The rates at Caesars itself is ridiculous. I'm moving to Charleston, WV and that is my closest casino, any info would be appreciated.

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

I think the closest hotels are in New Albany which is about 8-10 miles away. I know ive seen some but never paid attention to the names (holiday inn, super 8, whatever) and there are several places across the river in louisville, just depends on how close you want to be.

I am the most paranoid person ever!

So, how safe is Clarksville and New Albany?

Also, any strip clubs there or would I have to go to Louisville? (I probably wont go to Louisville)

Yeah Steam is right on here, I mean if you go to S. Indiana to gamble, you should be doing just that, gambling. There isn't a whole lot else to do.

There are as you asked about, several strip clubs in Louisville.

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

New Albany IN and Clarksville IN are basically farm towns with populations of about 20,000. Southern Indiana small town midwest surburban ville.

Louisville KY is a City with 500,000+ population. It isn't exactly a cultural mecca. It was the home town of Muhammad Ali. The first thing Ali did when he hit it big, was to leave Louisville.

What more do you need to know?

Very nice.

FWIW, the Holiday Inn in New Albany isn't too bad for the price. I stayed there in December and it beats paying double or more for Caesars. If you want anything other than what Caesars has to offer (gambling, more gambling, occasional concert), head to Louisville - it's about a 20 min drive. They have bar scenes like any other decent sized city. It gets especially wild Kentucky Derby weekend (May 5 this year).

Other than that, I hear there's plenty of good golfing in southern Indiana as well. But it's still winter, and you wouldn't want to try that until at least April.

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

There are excellent restaurants in Louisville, and the Kentucky Derby Museum is worth a trip if that's you're thing.

Phoenix Hill Tavern is worth looking into to see if any good bands are going to be playing there. Down the street is a good bar scene led by Molly Malone's.

Feel free to PM me when you are close to your arrival date. I work at Caesars and would be glad to help as a "tour guide"

PT's is downtown and used to be the stone cold nuts. I haven't been to a strip club in a very long time.

New Albany and Clarksville are as safe as the couch in your mother's living room, probably safer if she lives in the west end of Louisville.

Im assuming you mean downtown Louisville, if thats the case, Im a wuss, so no [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Questions for anyone:

Will they open an Omaha table if requested, or play H.O. (Preferbly a drunken 3am $2/$4 Limit game)?

How deep does the $2/$5 NL game generally play? The website shows that being the highest game, but I will take a shot at $5/$10 NL if they spread it.

I'll be back with more questions when I remember them [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Edit: I'll be arriving on March 6th and be staying for the weekend, anyone else gonna be around that time and wanna play a drunken $2/$4 Omaha game with us? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

Last time I played the 2-5 NL was uncapped and played extremely deep with several players buying in for 2-3k. I havent been back in a while and heard they put a cap on the buy in.
If you want to take a shot I would suggest the 10-25 PLO if you have any experiance in that game, it also plays deep but their is usually at least 2-3 huge fish in the game. Some of the sickest spewage I have ever seen was in that game.

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

you can get a 1/2/5 plo game going, just start the list - if they can fill a table they will deal the game

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

$2-5 is usually capped at $1000 but not always. It was uncapped for a long time but pretty much died. It is coming back pretty strong since the cap.

Don't be afraid of downtown Louisville in the immediate area of PT's but don't wander around alone either.

The $1-2 blind PLO game doesn't go very often on the nights I play but does go from time to time. They almost never play O/8.

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

Is this casino a boat?

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

We got a 1/2 HOE game going once, it was fun. They will spread anything you can get a game for. Hard to get 10 ppl though on stuff besides holdem.

It is a boat. But I somehow get the impression it would flip over, or at the very least sink, if it left shore.

Technically, it is two huge barges lashed together which the entire casino is built upon. They are not going to go anywhere, mud has built up around them so they are grounded.

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

Actually it IS a boat. It is not grounded.

It is stable in up to 70 MPH winds. I am confident it is not grounded, CG regulations require it to go to the middle of the river during very severe weather. They start the engines during storms and at other times. Until dockside gambling was approved it made two hour cruises up and down the river.

Re: Another Caesars Indiana question
 

Look at a map of the U.S., then look at where you are going. What do you expect to be there? If you want to experience something weird, there is a town nearby, named Lexington Kentucky. If you want to know what U.S. towns looked like back in 1899 or so, drive down some side streets in that town. Welcome to the twilight zone!
