Security let me know to fix that, I might have stuck myself then. I've seen folks with them off and I prefer to have mine off while at machine. We are not high rollers but not small either, many visits and all through the snow storm I got us there in one piece Be sure to wear your mask. We have eaten at the Steak house twice now it was ok, but they need to get a real onion soup recipe. Being retired we like to just get out of the house and it is a fun place. Needless to say we gave it all back and more with in a few days. Right out the gate my beautiful wife hit a few small progressives. Anyway we were so excited about Oak Grove opening this up. So many miles logged on those roads to Metropolis and Evansville.

Starting when Merv Griffin opened up Players casino in Metropolis IL. However, just like Metropolis and Atlantic City, the mirage of gambling’s promise eventually wears off leaving too many community members broken and an economy unstable.The wife and I have been going to these casinos for years now. The winners will be the horse industry, 800 construction workers, the 400 full- and part-time workers who’ll run the show and Christian County and Oak Grove governments who’ll collect more tax receipts. Churchill plans to have 12 days of horse racing while the slots will likely operate 365 days a year making it clear it’s not really about horses and higher purses as much as it’s about enticing Fort Campbell soldiers and Nashvillians less than an hour’s drive away.

Last Friday, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission approved Churchill Downs’ and Keeneland’s partnership to build a Standardbred horse track, 125-room hotel, restaurants, huge amphitheater and stage, equestrian center, event center and casino which will house up to 1,500 instant racing machines. The hype of Big Gambling’s economic feast welcoming everyone to join will likely result in a few crumbs left under the table for those fooled by the ever-so-elusive riches gambling always promises. The people of West Kentucky have many reasons to be grateful Thanksgiving week, but news of the $150-million casino expansion project in Oak Grove is not one of them.
