Ceasar's Charter/Junket to Biloxi
Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2022 1:02 pm
So, got back yesterday from a 3 day charter to the Biloxi Mississippi Harrah's Gulf Coast Casino and Hotel.
First, the hotel. When we made the reservations, we specifically requested a handicap accessible room with a king sized bed. What we got was a handicap room, but with two queens. We needed the king sized because me and the wife both use CPAP machines and we each need a night stand for our machines. The double queens only have the one night stand between them, which is not big enough to hold a phone, lamp and both of our machines. Unfortunately they did not have any king bed handicap rooms so we had to improvise with using a folding chair beside one of the beds.
There was no daily room service. If you needed towels or a change of bedding, you have to request it.
The over all look of the room is dated. Hallway carpets were pretty dirty. The bathroom floor is very dangerous if you step out of the shower with wet feet. The tile is slick and you can easily slip and fall. Use the floor towel they supply before you get into the walk in shower or the bathtub/shower.
Overall, I give the room a "D".
The casino is....well...a casino. There obviously are way more slots the VP machines. But, we like the 6 bar-top VP machines in front of the large TV viewing gallery. I never knew there was Triple Triple Bonus games! We were pretty lucky, I should say the wife was pretty lucky as she hit 3 Royal's on the second machine from the viewing gallery entrance. I did OK but nothing to brag about.
My only gripe is the way they treat the 7Stars versus the Gold/Platinum players like us. Like the middle class paying most of the federal taxes, the Gold/Platinum players are where the casino gets it's profits from. Correct me if I'm wrong.
We also like the Palace, the only non-smoking casino. They give you a T-shirt for every $1,000 jackpot. I got 3 of them.
On the last day (Sunday) we had a couple hours before we caught the bus to the airport so to get back even we hit the same machines at Harrah's before we left. The wife hit 3's w/kicker on .50 Triple Triple BP for $2K to put us a little ahead.
I should mention the flight (Swift Air) was only 1 1/2 hrs, but very uncomfortable. The seating was 3 and 3, but most middle seats were empty. Probably a Covid thing. The seats were the closest to each other then I have ever seen. My knees were smack against the seat in front of me. Even the aisle seemed narrower.
But overall we had a decent time for the $70.00 it cost.
