CAESARS WINDSOR

Grand opening June 29, 2008. (Nine days as of the day I create this)
I'm getting VERY excited. This is the country's leading Casino/Resort, Las Vegas style. Windsor needs this more than ever, and people are getting really excited about it.
Here's some pics. (I've been to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and it was sweet. This is a little smaller of course)
Just some samples... mostly of inside the actual casino part, not the colosseum.

Awesome shots.
Freedom festival fireworks were sweet eh?

I guess everyone LOVES Ceasars! I'm happy it's here in my city. Las Vegas style.
Sure beats the crap out of any Canadian casino.

Suprizingly very fair. There's no casino within 1,000km that can compete.
American traffic has slowed still, but Canadians are going too... and everything has been great reviews.

lol none of those casinos are at par with a Las Vegas style resort casino.
Believe me, I've been to them all. Ceasars Windsor beats them by about 600%.

I've been to Vegas, and Ceasars Windsor is probably the best thing in North America outside Vegas.
MGM Grand Detroit? Might as well be in Gary Indiana.
Niagara Falls!?!?!?!? Might as well be in some three star hotel in Kenya. Compared to Windsor.

Well, I guess I can't judge with an iron fist without having played, stayed and eaten there.

Yes, Caesars Windsor may now "trump" the Fallsview Casino and Casino Niagara (I'll be the judge of that when I visit this summer) but remember, when you walk out those casino doors... it's still just Windsor!!

Atlantic City is about 1,000 km from Windsor, and the Borgata is a high-end casino that is regarded as a better casino than most in Vegas. Most people consider the Borgata to be the best casino outside Las Vegas. Obviously, Caesars Windsor can't be compared to the Borgata yet, since no one has probably been to both casinos, but the precedent has been set outside of Las Vegas.

I wasn't trying to include Atlantic City... isn't it outside the 1000km?
