My son is in the military and will be leaving to go to Germany, tomorrow. We decided to go and have a good time at the Horseshoe to celebrate. While there my son left his cell phone at a slot machine. He returned to the machine about 10 minutes later and the phone was gone. We went to security and explained the urgency of finding the phone. Security found the person with the cell phone within the hour and returned it to my son. What a great security team. I want to thank Joan and Thomas and those who assisted for a job well done.
This is our favorite mid-west casino. We don't usually win, however, we do get some entertainment value for our money. One bad thing is Indiana taxes jackpots for non-residents. We have a few favorite machines and would like to see some more quarter poker machines added. The Range Steakhouse is always good and the buffet is above average. The Horseshoe has no hotel facility so they force us to stay at another casino that offers rooms and spend some of our gambling budget there.
I visited the Horseshoe Hammond on a trip north from Georgia to Wisconsin in September. I had sent an email in advance asking if motorhome parking was provided. The answer sent back was there was a lot across the railroad tracks in the AMTRAK parking lot. Using my GPS, I was able to find it without too much trouble. However, I had to walk across active railroad tracks and through the Valet area to get into the casino. Of course, there is also a big sign that says no pedestrians allowed. What I found as I entered was a large parking area on the first floor of the parking garage with a 20' high ceiling and a few staff cars parked. It would have more than held 15 to 20 RV's. I played for a while without too much success and then ate supper at the buffet. The view was nice looking out over the lake but the food was less than good quality. I sampled a number of dishes and really never found anything I would classify as good. After a while of additional futile playing slots, I gave up and left for the drive through Chicago. However, I plan to visit again next year as I make the trip. One visit does not make a good sampling at any casino!
Beautiful location on Lake Michigan. Buffet has good food and nice view of the harbor and Chicago in the distance. Deli was good too. Diamond Club is better than most. Table games and slots seem average. Sports bar is nice. Casino is large with a variety of tables and many slots. Cell phones work fine in the building - had been a problem in the past. Clean restrooms. Employees in general are very nice. Only down side is smoking is allowed everywhere. Stinky messy people have free reign. If the casino is crowded, you won't be breathing clean air. Wish they would ban smoking like Illinois did.
