looking for a quick Chicago/Gary update
Two years ago, I was in Chicago for work the week before Columbus Day, and I spent the weekend in Gary getting creamed at the Trump 5/10 half-kill game.
I'm headed back this year, and am hoping to do something similar, although perhaps with better results at the tables. Are Trump and Harrah's still the two casinos I should consider? What games do they offer? Do they still have hotels associated with them? Do they offer transportation to and from Chicago (I don't drive)? Thanks very much in advance. -McGee

Any poker at Blue Chip? [/ QUOTE ] Not yet. Rumor says they're building one, and will open it in a couple months.

Both poker rooms are more or less the same as you remember them.

Re: looking for a quick Chicago/Gary update
Mon-Thurs Room Rate at Resorts is $45 and the rooms are very nice. I'd reccomend trying to leave the boat for food. The Hot Dog cart & pizza place are edible. The rest of the food is pretty bad.
5/10, 10/20, 20/40, 5-10 $500 Max NL, 1-5 & 2-10 Stud are usually running.
