New Casino in Cleveland
I haven't been yet, going to wait a few more weeks before even going to look around. It only holds 5,000 people and people are/have been standing in line just to get in place. Plus, they only have 2,100 slot machines, of which (according to the casino web site) only 200 are poker machines.
Do know a couple that went over the past weekend, the lady hit for $1,250 and can tell everyone, that they take State tax on the spot. Federal tax is up to you, if you want, they take it.
Another thing, the lady witnessed a guy hit a $1,600 jackpot, he gave his ID and SS# for the W2 paper work and he got $0 with the W2, seems he owed some child support, so it all went to the State. Not sure if they are doing that for ANY THING owed to the State (like back taxes), or only for child support.
Just a side note, as for the State tax, the lottery issues a W2 at $600, so I do not know at what level the W2 is issued at the casino. Also don't know if it is withheld for only State residents or if it is taken for ALL???

Yikes. Nice way to chase off a good chunk of your customer base.
Also, per Ohio law there is NO free booze.
Count me out.

I have been to the new Casino in Cleveland. They have a lot of VP on both floors. Also in the High roller are they have about 6 machines. I found an 8/6 JOB in the high roller room. There are many different kinds of VP games. You will get a W2 after $1200 in one hit.
If you want to go and not stand in a line to get in, go around 8am to 12pm during the week. After about 3pm there will be a line. I went after 5 pm on Sunday and only waited in line for about 1/2 hour.

The Horseshoe Garage will give you free parking if you play for 30 min. or get 15 tier credits. Otherwise plan to pay $15-$35 to park there on your way out. To get the free parking coupon you need to swipe your players card at a special keosk near the 2nd floor players club.

$15-$35 to park in the casinos parking garage??? Are they nuts??? Kind of understand, trying to keep it for casino customers only. But, $150 coin-in on 8/6 JOB or worse to get 15 tier credits for free parking. No way in H**L am I going to pay $35 for parking, so looks like I wont be going any time soon, if at all!!

I wouldn't bother going to any total rewards casino and get less than 15 points (or really 100 or more points). I do that before I take a bathroom or lunch break.

Also, diamond and seven stars are free. We already stayed at the Renaissance and the Ritz (which Caesars bought) for free and the first night we went we saw four royals (not on our machines of course) but we saw them just the same. I think casinos set their machines loose when they first open to get people coming. I hope I get one before it wears off.

So tell me. How do casinos make their machines loose when they first open? Are they not regulated?

I don't know if it's true or not but if it is all they have to do is put the chips in the machines as a slightly higher payback percentage as long as it's within the regulations. And then after six months or however long they choose, they put in the chips with a slightly lower payback percentage and then leave them that way because it's too burdensome to change them. Makes sense to me if I believe what others have said that they won when the casino was new and then later not as often.

Why go to "ANY" casino (or any business) where YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY and be told you have to SPEND a certain amount just to get FREE parking?
That would be like McD's, telling you, you have to buy $20 worth of stuff and if you don't, we are going to charge you $2 extra.
It's just the ideal of it. They want you to spend your money and if you don't spend what they think you should, they are going to charge you for not spending enough.

Same thing as spending thousands of dollars just to become 7 stars, and get that free trip to Biloxi, Yippeee!

Because the casino is in Downtown Cleveland next to a bunch of Hotels, the Cleveland Cav's sports arena, Progressive Field, and Browns Stadium. If they did not charge to park you would never have a place to park. There is a reserved 7-Stars area in the garage off of Ontario Street. 7-Stars get automatic free parking whether they play or not, just swipe your card and print a voucher.
Limit one parking pass per 24 hour time period, so print your voucher as soon as you qualify for it.
