Wisconsin’s Ho-Chunk Hotel and Casino: Rich in Glamour, Poor in Convenience

|

Since it was my and my wife’s fifth wedding anniversary, I wanted to do something special with my wife. When she suggested spending the night at Ho-Chunk Hotel and Casino in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, I figured it was a good idea.

I do want to be honest and will say we definitely managed to have fun. However, I do think the hotel could have done a bit more to make our stay much more enjoyable.

I spent a great deal of time trying to think of the best way to describe Ho-Chunk’s hotel and casino. I wouldn’t give it a really low score, but I wouldn’t rank it among my top weekend destinations either.

The best way I can explain it is the hotel is big on glitz and glamour; almost in an effort to convince people to go there rather than Las Vegas. And, from the moment you see the waterfall in the main lobby; you’ll find plenty of breathtaking sights.

However, in doing this, the hotel/casino seems to forget to make sure its customers are taken care of.

Like I mentioned before, we managed to have fun on our over-night stay there. However, there were times during our stay we regretted our choice.

First, when we got there, we had to stand in line for about 20 minutes before we could get to the front counter to check in. And, this was 90 minutes before their advertised check in time. Later on, we went to the casino guest services counter to get a rewards card (which gave us $10 of free game play and a 10% discount on the hotel) and, once again had to wait in line for about a half hour. As my wife described it, it was a bit like standing in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Around 6 p.m., we were getting hungry and decided to try one of their restaurants. Again, we found a line outside the Stand Rock Buffet and Wa-Zha-Wa Sports Bar  amp; Grill; the only two restaurants within our budget that were open at that time. And, because we didn’t want to stand in line again (this time it would have been about an hour); we wound up returning to our room instead; opting to try room service. Even this turned out to be a pain. We called the number and it just kept ringing. I finally had to call the front desk and they took the order then ran it upstairs.

This wasn’t just confined to the hotel outside our room either. Since it was a special occasion, I spent the extra money and reserved the hotel’s honeymoon suite. Much like the hotel itself, the suite was beautiful to look at, but turned out not to be overly impressive either.

First, it came with an electric fireplace that kicked out some heat but didn’t seem to warm the room all that much. We had to sit down within a couple feet of it to feel anything.

The room also had a kitchenette in it that looked nice but really didn’t come with anything. You had a couple dozen empty cupboards and drawers, a few dishes and a set of silverware that didn’t include knives or forks. Oh, and a microwave. Probably the best part of that section of the room was the full-sized refrigerator and freezer.

We enjoyed the hot tub. However the shower in the bathroom was really confusing and, because they had left the drain closed with no real instructions on how to reopen it, it ended up overflowing a bit when my wife used it. I also found it funny that they would include facial soap and lotion in the bathroom but no hand soap.

Oh, and I should mention the toilet was one of the loudest I’ve ever heard. When you flushed it, you could hear it down the hall.

The hotel’s web site is also a bit misleading when it describes the amenities that are supposed to be available to you. First, the cable television in the rooms was supposed to have premium movie channels. We had 10 channels total, and none were movie channels.

Their Web site also mentions a fitness and aquatic center. What it doesn’t tell you is the aquatic center isn’t attached to the hotel; you have to take a shuttle bus to get there.

Good thing there’s 99poker.id where I can play poker games online. This site allows me to have fun playing poker without leaving the comfort of the place where I was staying. It is also a good platform to practice poker playing.

I don’t want to give you the impression that everything at the hotel was bad because there were some pleasant things too.

I mentioned before that we ordered room service. Once I was able to order it, it was actually delivered promptly, there was a large quantity of food, it was of decent quality and it didn’t cost us a fortune (it was about $25 with tip).

Sunday morning, we ate breakfast at the Sunrise Cliff’s Caf√© and again found great food at an affordable price (which was discounted by an additional 10 percent because of our rewards card).

When we first started playing in the casino, we didn’t think we were going to enjoy it too much because the slot machines were a bit complicated. But, once we figured them out, we had to drag ourselves away. I also liked the fact you could spend as little as you wanted; the slot machines ranged from 1 cent to 1 dollar and, even when we found ourselves on a losing streak, we could still play for some time before we ran out of money (we actually ended up coming out about $83 ahead). The $10,000 drawing just fore being in the casino at 10 p.m. was also nice touch.

The gift shop was very affordable and we had the opportunity to buy Native American crafts in the lobby area (I bought my wife a bracelet for $6). We also found the staff to be extremely friendly and willing to do what it took to make you happy; I think the biggest problem is they just didn’t have enough staff members to take care of all their customers.

Would I recommend the Ho-Chunk Casino and Hotel to someone? I think the answer to that question is yes, but with conditions. First, if I were to do this again, it wouldn’t be on the weekend. The crowd on Saturday is just too big for you to get the treatment you’ll be expecting and creates headaches with standing in line.

I also probably wouldn’t bother with the honeymoon suite again; it’s just too expensive for what you’re getting. The only thing we really enjoyed in it was the hot tub and they have a couple other suites that have that and are less expensive.

I figure, if we could still manage to have fun despite the headaches and disappointments; there’s plenty of potential at the hotel/casino. Imagine how much fun we could have if we planned things differently next time.

Correct Usage of Las Vegas Terms:

|

As a regular writer of Las Vegas and casino articles, I have always noticed the silent debate behind calling those huge gambling complexes in Las Vegas hotels, hotel/casinos, casinos, or resorts. As someone who travels to Las Vegas on a regular basis, I hope that I can settle this debate once and for all.

Correct Usage for, “Las Vegas Hotel”

When talking about the complex as a whole, the proper way to refer to them is a Las Vegas hotel. Granted, a Las Vegas hotel is normally going to make the most money off of the casino, but for tax purposes, and business license purposes, these complexes are listed as Las Vegas hotels. They just happen to have casinos, restaurants, and other attractions on the property.

Correct Usage for, “Las Vegas Hotel/Casino”

If you are planning a trip to Las Vegas through a website like Travelocity, you will see that the complexes are listed as a hotel/casino. You will also note that if you go to the website of most of the Las Vegas hotels, you will notice that they are listed as a Las Vegas hotel/casino. This is a point that came up back in the mid-1990s and stuck for some reason.

The goal of the casinos that label themselves as a hotel/casino is to point out that they have two main concerns. They are equally concerned with the hotel as they are the casino. This was to reflect the image that some of the Las Vegas hotels were spending more time improving the hotels, and neglecting the casinos. Other Las Vegas hotels were spending more time on their casinos, and less on the hotels.

Some of the companies that use the moniker of Las Vegas hotel/casino have added this to their legal names. When referring to these properties in a corporate sense (such as in a business article), it is proper to discuss them as their legal name states.

Correct Usage for, “Las Vegas Casino”

When discussing a casino directly, it is correct to refer to it as a Las Vegas casino. In the same way, you would call one of the eateries inside of a Las Vegas hotel, a Las Vegas restaurant. Remember that the casino is only one part of the entire complex. Granted, you can have a Las Vegas hotel without a casino and you can have a Las Vegas casino that is not attached to a hotel. In the case where both are present, only call it a Las Vegas casino if you are referring to the one part of the whole.

Correct Usage for, “Las Vegas Resort”

Granted, almost all of the Las Vegas hotels could be listed as a resort. There are separate actual resorts, though, around Las Vegas. There are only two times in which the usage of the phrase, “Las Vegas resort,” is actually proper. If there is an actual resort that is being spoken of off of the Las Vegas Strip, or if a Las Vegas hotel has the word, “Resort,” in it’s legal name (there is rumors that this might happen in the near future to a few particular Las Vegas hotels).

The next time that you find yourself reading an article, writing an article, or looking for a room, keep the proper usages in mind for the complexes in Las Vegas. I have actually seen times in the past where Las Vegas hotel workers have corrected patrons for using the wrong term at the wrong time. In some instances, workers can actually become offended if referred to in an incorrect manner.

Now people of Las Vegas are quite kind and generous to their patrons so you need not worry about the casinos that are brimming with poker, blackjack and JasaQQ as you would need all the help you need if you are new to the place and even if you feel awkward through incidents, just recall the famous saying ‘what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas’.

Tips For Online Poker

|

It is a great time to have some fun with online casinos, isn’t it? After all, it is not like you have anything to do now that it is the quarantine. But unless you know how to actually play poker, then it isn’t going to do anything for you but be a source of money waste. So, in this article, we are going to teach you a few tricks about playing online poker in places like www ufabet com. 

Get A Space Most Suited For Online Poker

Poker sounds like the kind of game anyone would know how to play. But you might be surprised to know that it is a lot harder than it seems. It requires a lot of strategic thinking. With that, it is important to play in a room or space where you won’t be distracted. Of course, once you get to used to this kind of game, perhaps, having some company won’t be a distraction anymore. But since you are just learning the art, it would be best to stay in your room. Make sure that the room is cool so that you will be in the mood to think of a good game strategy. 

Start With A Single Table

The great thing about online poker is that you get to play as many tables as you want all in one time. This lets you multiply the prizes that you will be getting at the end of the game. But as a novice, it would be best if you just settle for a single table. This will enable you to really master the game while you are still not the best player around. Once you have done that then you could start playing two tables and then just multiply the tables as you go on. 

How to Cope with Your Spouse’s Gambling Addiction

|

Gambling is a serious problem, it’s an addiction. Coping with a spouse who has a gambling problem, even if your spouse is willing to admit they have a problem, can be extremely difficult, and heartbreaking. It takes a lot of love, support, and courage to help your spouse with a gambling problem. And while you’re trying to help support and encourage your spouse who has the problem, you have to be able to cope with their problem yourself. A gambling addiction can, and often does, affect every member of the household, and also will affect every aspect of your relationship with your spouse. If you aren’t aware of your spouse’s gambling problem, then finding out suddenly can feel like a horrible betrayal by your spouse of your trust and love.

Remembering that gambling is an addiction, and that an addiction is a sickness, can go a long way towards helping to heal the pain and stress of your spouse’s gambling problem. If you are able to help your spouse see that they have a problem, and that they need to seek help, then it makes dealing with your spouse’s gambling problem a lot easier. There are plenty of Twelve-Step programs, outpatient therapy and counseling programs out there for those who are trying to recover from a gambling addiction, and for spouses who are trying to cope with their partner’s gambling addiction. Remember though, even if your spouse agrees to seek help, that, with any addiction, relapse is a possibility. Love, patience and kindness will help you and your spouse to deal with a relapse if it occurs. If your spouse is unwilling to admit a problem or unwilling to seek help, that can cause a major problem with your marriage, and can stretch your already frazzled nerves to the limit! Even the most patient spouse can be pushed to the limit if their spouse is unwilling to seek help or admit a problem. It may be necessary to separate finances to protect yourself and/or your children from the effects of your spouse’s gambling problem. In cases such as this, I strongly encourage the spouse who’s trying to cope with their partner’s addiction to seek professional counseling and possibly even legal assistance, to protect themselves and/or their children’s well-being.

Dealing with a spouse with any kind of addiction can be difficult, takes a lot of patience and requires a lot of understanding and love. It takes a strong person to deal with another’s demons. Try to stay strong and supportive of your spouse and their addiction, seek professional help for yourself, and try to encourage your spouse to seek help for their addiction. The road to recovery from any addiction is never easy, and it’s harder when you’re watching your spouse deal with their addiction. Having faith, staying strong, and doing what needs to be done, will go a long way towards helping yourself cope with your spouse’s gambling problem. And, hopefully, your spouse will also help themselves and get on the road to recover as well.


But there is no other choice and if one were to really rid this addiction of your spouse then you need to take drastic measures otherwise life becomes a huge mess and I am a living example of how gambling has had an adverse impact on my life where a harmless poker online gave way to bigger stakes in blackjack.

Las Vegas Review – the Palace Station Hotel and Casino

|

There are many reasons why going to the Palace Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV is an excellent way to spend your time while vacationing in Las Vegas. We found it to be an ideal retreat while spending some of our vacation time in the city. Located just off the strip this hotel allows you to be near the action, but just enough out of the way to enjoy some peaceful moments.

The Palace Hotel and Casino was recently renovated and the results are tremendous. They increased the number of rooms to over 1,000 and added more gaming, dining and entertainment options as well. We stayed in one of the tower rooms which had a nice view of the strip.

Checking in was a breeze for us. The employees were all very courteous and helpful in answering our questions and really went out of the way to make sure we were taken care of. I certainly appreciated that.

The glass elevator took us up to our 15th floor room that was a site in itself. The room was nicely decorated and included amenities such as high speed internet service, cable TV, data port phone service and an in-room safe. It was the kind of room that gave you a comfortable, relaxed feeling when entering it.

That evening we decided to try the Palace Station’s Feast Buffet for dinner. This newly opened buffet style restaurant serves up American, Mexican, Asian, Italian and other types of food that certainly did not have us leaving hungry. They also have other dining options as well including a Subway, Starbucks and even a Burger King if fast food is to your liking. Of course you can always choose room service and have a meal brought straight up to you.

Being in Las Vegas, slot machines and table games are always there for your enjoyment. The Palace Station includes every game you can think of. From slots to bingo, craps, poker and sports betting, you can find it all. Personally, my wife and I enjoy sitting down and playing the slot machines. They must have more than 1,500 different slot machines and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I won’t mention how much more I won than my wife though.

The only drawback I could see here at Palace Station is with children is that 사설토토사이트 do not have any games for them and its quite fair because most of the games are of gambling based which is not suitable for the kids. Yes, kids are more than welcome, but there is just not a whole lot for them to do here at the hotel. You may want to consider other hotels such as Circus Circus if you are coming with children.

With that said though, the Palace Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV is a great place to stay while vacationing in this part of the U.S. You will not be disappointed in the cleanliness and service you will receive, not to mention the fun you’ll have.

How to Play Doom on Your IPod! Read to know

|

Few games are a famous as Doom. Simply speak the name and nearly everyone will at least have heard of it, if not played it. The inspiration for many future FPS’s, Doom has won the hearts of many with it’s plot and bloody, shooting goodness.

On the quest to find out exactly what an iPod can do, many are surprised to discover that most iPods can, indeed, play Doom, though the controls are a bit funky at first. You can download the free version of Doom, called FreeDoom, or you can purchase the game in WAD form from ID.

If you want to play Doom on your iPod, follow the next simple steps to get started.

Items Needed:

Rockbox Supported iPod

iPodPatcher

iPod Data Cable

Computer with Internet access

Step 1:

You will need to install Rockbox, an awesome open source firmware for certain mp3 players. The method listed here will dual boot it with your original firmware – you can still use the normal iPod firmware and all of your files will stay put (though I recommend backing them up in case you mess something up).

To do this you will need a iPod version that is supported by Rockbox. You can view the supported models at the Rockbox website by clicking CURRENT BUILDS in the left hand menu.

Step 2:

Download the ZIP file of the build for your iPod. Make sure you choose the one for your version of the iPod – using a different version will result in an error. Save the ZIP file to your hard drive, preferably the Desktop.

Now, switch your iPod to Disk Mode and connect it to your computer with it’s data cable. Right click on the ZIP file you saved to your hard drive and extract it to your iPod. You should now see a file on your iPod called .rockbox.

Now, download a small program called iPodPatcher (.exe for Windows, .dmg for Mac). You can find a link to this program under INSTALLATION in the iPod Manual on Rockbox.org.

Open the program by double clicking it and start the practice session in agen casino online terpercaya without registering any account or submitting the deposit. Make sure your iPod is connected to your computer and that you extracted the .rockbox file to your iPod. Type ‘ I ‘ in the iPodPatcher and press ENTER. It will install in about five seconds. Close iPodPatcher when finished.

Now, open the .rockbox file that is installed on you iPod. Create a file called ‘doom’, exactly like I typed it. Copy in the DOOM.wad file you downloaded from the Internet. You will need to search and find these on your own.

Finally, unplug your player and wait for it to reboot. Navigate to Plugins, Games, Doom, and then select the WAD you added. Doom should now start up.

How to Make a Video Game

|

Making a video game takes a lot of hard work and determination. If you have played a game on QQ, you would know that there are a lot of elements involved in the game that merits recognition. It requires a lot of knowledge and usually a team of people, though there have been some very successful games made by as little as just one guy working on it alone! I myself am a hobbyist programmer and have made many different games. I have made many mistakes and many profits in the avenue but there is always more for people to learn. There are several steps you need to take in order to get yourself started in the world of game making.

First off, determine your game audience and platform. Is your game a console game or is it a computer game? If you’re brand new to making a game your choices will be important because they will determine where you start in the learning process.

Another thing to think about is what your game is about and what happens in it. Some game languages are better than others for certain types if games. Is it fast paced or a slower casual game?

Yet another subject in the planning phase is the type of game. Are you interested in creating an online game that many people play together? Or will you make a simple one-time-play flash game?

Lastly, one needs to think about the requirements for building your game. The actual software needed the time, equipment and the skills. These all affect the cost which may hinder the early developer but it is possible to make a really good game for absolutely no extra cost.

After you have planned out the game the next thing you need is the knowledge. There are many different ways of making games each with its own unique capabilities. Using a game maker is usually really easy and requires little prior knowledge but often the rights are limited making it impossible to sell or distribute your game. These game makers though, are often a great way to start off or make casual games for yourself or friends.

Other games are made using programming languages. There are many different types of languages each with Their own perks and drawbacks. Sometimes more than one language is used to make a game. But it is best to learn one at the start than expand to others. Some good languages to start off with are Java, Python, C#(C-sharp), C, or C+(C-Plus). These languages are very common and relatively easy to learn. They also relate to one another so after you master one the others come easy.

Ways to learn these languages are just as many as the languages themselves. Colleges or schools offer classes, there are online classes available, books are a great way to learn, friends can teach you, and it is even possible to teach yourself with a little online reading. There are many sites that teach programming skills so following them will get you on the right track in no time!

After you have learned a language you can finally start to make your game! Here is where all your hard work has paid off. There will be lots more hard work to go but with lots of dedication your game will start to shape up for you and others to enjoy!
