Back to more Casinos!

Hello again,
It has been a good while since I have added any new casinos.  We have visited a few lately but not many new ones, but I will add a couple.

WIND RIVER CASINO
Riverton ID

Wind River is a new small casino, with a restaurant and 700 slot machines, gaming tables and keno.  Keith actually found this casino while looking at an area we wished to tour.
I really enjoyed this one, people were friendly and slots loose.  We stopped by there twice and both times we won a few bucks.   You saw a lot of people winning.  The employees smiled and made a point of stopping and saying hello and asking if there was anything you needed.  The players club was new and gave  free slot play as an incentive.  The restaurant was nothing to speak of  but not bad either.  Keith had a steak and I had prime rib and they were both delicious.  (Oh, by the way they give you a coupon worth 5.00 off your meal.) but the ambiance was not good, sorta like eating in a school cafeteria.  That really struck me as strange since the casino itself was nicely decorated. 
Definitely would go back and visit again.

RIVERS CASINO
Pittsburgh PA

When I went home to visit my mother, who is doing well by the way, I had the pleasure of going with my friend Sue and her delightful mother to Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh.  We traveled  by bus with 80 or so other players for the 2.5 hour trip.  It was a very comfortable and pleasant time, they even showed us movies.  The bus company charges 25.00 but gives you back 20.00 in slot play and 5.00 off your meal.  Good deal, huh!
This is a gorgeous casino, overlooking the river with a fabulous buffet.  It is worth going just for the food.  The dessert bar is incredible.  We played and ate the afternoon away.  They offer 3000 slot machines, gaming tables and keno. 
I really like this casino.  I usually come home with a couple of buck so I am happy.  Can't wait to go again with Sue and her mom when I am home next spring.

  1. Believe it or not - I'm just now reading your blog about our trip to Rivers - my name in print - how cool is that?! We recently visited my aunt & she asked if we ever get to a casino, let her know & she might tag along... so there could be 4 of us next time! Catch you later!
