Magic 8 Ball says, “Yeah, no, sorry.”
]]>Is it too much to hope they will get rid of the Bazaar Shops?
]]>Wow you are getting a different vibe from Horseshoe Baltimore than I got when I used to go there. I will admit when it opened it was a very nice casino, now that place is a dump and that was even pre-Covid which has just made it worse. The Vegas vibe to me is gambling, drinking, and having a good time. In Horseshoe Baltimore I get the vibe most of the clientele aren’t going to be able to pay their rent that month because they gambled it away, and very few people there look like they are having fun. Giada was the most underwhelming place I have ever eaten, I don’t usually like to pay $30 for a microwave frozen dinner of lasagna. I’m not against bringing the Horseshoe name back to Vegas but hopefully it is nothing like the one in Baltimore.
]]>I realize owning the libs is the Holy Grail, the Big Kahuna, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but this naming of the airport “issue” makes small potato’s blush… Harry Reid in 2009/2010 literally saved MGM Mirage from the graveyard of bankruptcy and hedge fund vultures, I don’t care much for City Center as it stands, but imagine City Center as a hulk of steel like Fountainblue or The Drew. Imagine tens of thousands of less jobs in the Las Vegas Valley. Harry Reid annoyed libs, he annoyed cons, he annoyed people who get clocked in the eye by exercise equipment. But he did step up huge for Las Vegas, he threw his 145 pounds of weight at banks and emirs and pulled the city I love up from the depths. I do not care about the naming of the airport, but at least lets give Harry Reid some credit, when Reid was going out on a limb to save jobs in the area he represents, many were denouncing his efforts and apparently rooting for a fire sale on assets…
]]>I remember the original Horseshoe basement steak special. It was great, and the price was right. They said the beef came from Benny Binion’s ranch in Montana.
If they revived it these days at a new Horseshoe, you’d probably pay to park, hike half a mile in from the deck past time-share hawkers and 6-5 Blackjack tables, and then get a 4.5% “convenience-ambiance-franchise recovery fee” added to your check. Bon Appetit….
All that’s a long-winded, off-track way of saying: yeah, bring the Horseshoe name back to Vegas!
