Here is some interesting new from the Charlestown Casino and Racetrack in Charles Town West Virginia.
In a nutshell, they will be 33% larger and are spending 25 million on expanding.
An interesting note, 95% of the people who gambe at Charlestown are from out of state.
It seems like they are trying to beat Maryland and Pennsylvania in the slot machine race.
I had no idea how much money they were making, but I did notice the parking lot iss usually full.
A good idea if you ar going there on the weekends is to stay home and play online. They admit in their article that there are not enough machines.

VIP Casino has a great promotion this month

The VIP Casino has a great promotion this month, giving away 100$ free just for making a deposit.

Check out the link the below to see what I am talking about.
To be totally honest with you, just play with their free money, if you don't like it, or if you lose, leave, otherwise, enjoy what you win.
This is a reputable company, I have played with their casino software and have not had any trouble getting paid.

Del Mar Racetrack in San Diego, California


Since our new headquarters are only a few miles away from the Del Mar Racetrack, in San Diego, I thought I would pop by and check it out.
There is some good news and some bad news:


The good news is, the track is awesome, they say it is "Where the Turf Meets the Surf". It is almost on the beach, which is pretty cool.


The bad news is, there are still 20 weeks until the season starts.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all that time. I suppose I could gamble on-line some more.


Vegas is nice and close.

More from Charlestown, West Virginia


A member of the casinoinsight.com staff went to Charles Town, in Charlestown West Virginia yesterday. Normally not a big slots player, and a statistician by trade, he was playing the ponies and puppies.


Apparently he did pretty well.
He won most of his money playing the dogs, though. He isn't much of a handicapper, but is a believer in random events, etc.
His tip: pick the 2 dog to win.


Good job, homey. We need to go roll some dice again.

Google Bombing
I just read about how people make George Bush's name come up as the top search result for "miserable failure". Very clever! It is kind of old news, but I just stumbled across the article.

Another flutter.
Here is another bet.
What do you think is going to happen to the fed rate tomorrow in the United States?
Or better yet, what do you think is going to happen to the stock market?
Closest guess to the closing price of the Nasdaq or the Dow gets to be famous on my site.

Laurel Park Maryland Races and Charlestown Races, Charles Town West Virginia

I am trying to decide which parks to go to this weekend.
There are some big races in Laurel Park Races, in Maryland but I usually win at Charelstown, in Charles Town West Virginia.

The nice thing about Charlestown, is that there are also slots.
I'm looking for a way to finance my next trip to Vegas which is coming up.
Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Viva La Vegas!

I am planning a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada right now. Partly it is because of the Wold Poker Championships that I saw on teeeveee, and partly because I am crossing the states from coast to coast and think it is a good excuse to go.

Right now I am looking for hotels. So suggestions are always welcome. I normally stay at the Rio, but I want something new.
Maybe Paris or the Bellagio. yuk yuk
Truth is though, aside from a preternatural aversion to spending a lot of money on hotels (I mean you sleep there, right? I also like the feeling of old school Vegas more. Places like the Gold Coast and their ilk are more fun to me than some faux-posh casino.

Here are my thoughts on some of the hotels:
Aladdin - A bit goofy.
Bellagio - Like cocaine, I think it is for people who don't know how to spend their money.
Luxor - Great marketing department, the name was obviously picked by the same people that think up names for drugs like Viagra. The most intersting thing about this hotel is the number of despondent people that kill themselves by jumping inside the hotel.
MGM Grand - This is a great place to go if you are a rap star or a boxer. That seems to be who I see there mostly. The type of place where people play roulette.
Camelot - Great one if you like medieval re-enactment dinner.
Circus Circus - One word sums up this hotel. Pink. It is like a young flamingo went to school one day with a machine gun.
Frontier - Funny, I don't remember a thing about this one.
Palace Station Old school. But it smells a bit funky.
Stratosphere - Does this one even exist anymore?
The Rio - This is where I usually stay. Ignore the crappy Brazil theme. It is as similar to Brazil as Bethesda, Maryland. However, the cocktail waitresses don't wear hardly anything. I've found good craps tables and sometimes the disco goes off.
Fitzgeralds Another one that didn't make any impression at all.
Four Queens - You can actually feel the broken dreams when you walk in.
Golden Nugget - I think this one actually has a gold nugget in it somewhere. Or maybe it was a miillion dollars in cash, so you can look at and drool. If that is your thing. This place is an antique.
Mandalay Bay This one seems really gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Caesar's Palace - Not a big fan. This one that people go to if they can't afford the Belaggio (oops, Bellagio) but they still want to feel like a player (high-roller).
The Gold Coast - This place is the greatest. Everyone is old and angry and smells bad. But it is accross the street from the Rio, so if you get tired of watching old people pump their pensions into slot machines, and are sick of the cheap craps tables, you can duck across the street to hang out in swankness. It is cheap, and that sticks with my philosophy of not spending too much money to sleep. There is no entertainment, but there is plenty of bingo.
The Mirage - Home of Siegfried & Roy. You shouldn't play with wild animals.
New York, New York - "Shaddap!" "F*&% you!" It is eerily similar to being in New York.

Did I forget any?

Oh yeah The Hard Rock Casino - I normally avoid Hard Rock establishements like the plague. I thinkn they all suck. But this place is cool. It is crawling with good looking people and I usually win there. It is worth checking out.
