few pics and then Caesars updates
finally made it to the new Treasure Chest casino, didnt take any pics inside. was plenty busy for 4pm. im not a smoker, walking around the place, I could smell a tiny bit, not enough to bother me, passing some people playing and it was very noticable. needs more Video Poker with only 15 machines. overall its very nice and a huge upgrade from the boat, down side you dont have the lake views. I made some money and only left as drink service was non-existent
headed to Caesars
Xavier
some dirt higher than the jail wall, first signs of progress
Caesars
a bit better pic of the Convention Center/Poydras entrance from the last one I posted
inside right next to High limit, where the Signature bar use to be
Caesars Updates, answers plenty questions
first off, its been asked several times and Samir, back from vacation gave his answers
the Roof, the green patina copper roof, will remain. no painting or anything. I believe he did say they would be taking the globe things off of the bell towers
when Nobu restaurant opens, it will be 2:1 points for people who gamble, you are paying twice as much with points, the food hall and emerils petite treats thing will drop down from 2:1 to 1:1 while Emerils restaurant will stay 2:1, The steakhouse is and has always been 1:1
Nobu restaurant is expected to open around august 5th, not as its delayed with construction, apparently there is a que when opening Nobu and Toronto is in position to open before NOLA so it just has to wait
Octavia center bar is supposed to open August 15th or around that time
trying to have the Poydras/CC entrance open next week for Essence
No rooftop pool as originally planned or a spa at the new hotel, simply money ran out, with inflation it was already $100mil over
as I mentioned, the first bookings for the Hotel is Nov. 1st, I expect it open sooner and Samir flat out said as mentioned previously, they want it open in October for Taylor Swifts 3 sold out shows at the SuperDome
No bar in the high limit room but where the Signature bar was, there will be another bar, twice the size
If you are a higher tier gambler, Diamond or 7stars, you got a benefit since they closed the vip lounges, you could get drinks without gambling, simply show your card and ID and you were allotted a certain number of drinks per day, August 1st that benefit ends.
they are working with someone now for facial recognition to deal with the Casino entry as they know there will be huge lines with large events swiping every single person
Octavia center bar will have some video poker also
I was drunk, thats all I can remember lol
