Grab your lady luck because you are headed to the boat for some good ‘ol fashioned gambling! Men this is where you can put all those “boy poker nights” to good use. I want to preface that this date is all about timing. You are on a bit of a schedule and the last thing you want is to be left behind. So pay attention!
So first things first, grab a couple beers, mini champagne bottles, or whatever you may fancy, beforehand. You will be bringing these with. Stay tuned for further instruction.
To start the night off, kick some back with your guest at the newly remodeled bar and restaurant, Tavern on Rush in Viagra Triangle. For a surprise element keep your date in the dark about what the evening entails. One or two cocktails is plenty, so keep it short.
tip: close your tab as soon as you order for an easy get away
Every other hour or so, a complimentary, luxury shuttle parks right outside Tavern to escort Chicagoans to The Horseshoe Casino. You can’t miss it. While engaging in conversation, be on the look out. Once it pulls up, this is your que to wrap things up quickly. You will be happy to know this is absolutely 100% FREE. Few people are in the know, so most likely it will be just the two of you. And you know those two beverages I had you pick up? This is where they come in handy. You and your better half can drink all the way there! Click here for the time schedule.
Right about the same time you guys are finishing your road sodas (they don’t call it 20 minutes to Vegas for nothing!), you will arrive at the lovely Horseshoe. The singing and humming of the slot machines are so exciting! Head straight to the circle bar located in the middle of the casino to grab a drink and discuss your game plan.
From this point on, the night is up to the two of you. Slots, cards, roulette, you name it. Teach each other some new tricks and see how much you guys can win. Just don’t miss the shuttle on the way back! Know the times of your ride back to Chicago ahead of time. It will drop you off right where it picked you up. Feel free to continue with your evening on the restaurant and bar clustered Rush Street or call it night.
I wish you beginners luck not only in your Black Jack game but with your date as well. Have fun!
