Tropicana Evansville observations

We hadn't been there in a year due to COVID, being busy, and whatnot. We arrived around noon yesterday (Saturday).

*They take your temp and check your ID at the entrance. Mask up!

*No eating, drinking, or smoking on the gaming floor. The dealers like the no smoking part.

*One craps table of three was open. No more than six people were playing. I don't know if there's a limit of players due to COVID and I didn't ask. Minimums of $15(!!!) on a quiet Saturday.

*The four Interblock games (big wheel, craps, BJ, roulette) are gone. One of the craps dealers said that the company that was leasing the games to the casino wasn't playing nice. I enjoy automated craps games because of low minimums and you can do all sorts of goofy crap that would normally peeve other players at a live craps game.

*Their rewards program has been converted to Total Rewards. My new card looks just like a regular gold TR card with a couple of differences. There's the "Local" designation and the location/date.



*If you have a TR account from CET or whatever they're called now, it's a different account. I went to the main TR website and you can transfer your points from one to the other. I don't know if any of your action carries over for the purposes of offers and didn't think to ask while I was there.

*We went back to the car and I noticed that the windows of the car next to ours were fogged up and it looked like someone scribbled stuff on the windows. It turns out that at least one kid was left in the car. He looked to be 6 or 7 years old. I couldn't tell if there was anyone else in the car. I summoned a security guard and hopefully he found the offender and beat him to within an inch of his life. That's bullshit.

*We didn't try any of the dining options. Cavanaugh's and Brew Brothers have always been fine, and The Kitchen Buffet was closed, so if we were hankering for some overpriced Golden Corral food (we weren't), too bad for us!

 

Your right about that parent! Nice trip report

 

thanks for reporting! Did they have any idea when they would allow drinks on the floor again?

 

I didn't ask. My guess is that whenever the city or state loosens things up, but that's just me guessing. The no eat/drink/smoke thing might just be them doing what they think is best for the casino without regard to whatever governmental restrictions are in place.
