For those of you gamblers, let me just say: Chicagoland's Premiere Gaming Destination is about to get even premierier! That's right, August 8th 2008 (080808 - maybe you've seen the billboards), we will be opening our brand new, gigantic Mother Of All Boats (M.O.A.B.).
At least, we hope to. This morning we had a minor setback when our main entrance kind of ... collapsed. Here's an article from the NWI Times.
In actuality, I'm sure our grand opening on the 8th won't be delayed, but our soft opening on Saturday might get pushed back a wee bit.
I'm pretty excited, really - I haven't been on board the new boat yet and I'm looking forward to it. From what I've heard, it's bordering on Vegas-style opulence. No Chihuly ceilings or roller coasters on the roof, but opulent nonetheless. Plus we'll finally have an entertainment venue (creatively dubbed The Venue) and will soon be featuring such still-relevant performers as Bette Midler, Jay Leno, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Stone Temple Pilots, and Liza Minelli.
But enough about that. The important thing is that the boat broke and I got to come home at noon. Woo hoo!
