Maybe, I Questioned As I Ran The Water, The Delaware Property Was Trying To Relax Me, Thereby Easing The Discomfort Of Future Losses In The Casino.
If a casino’s goal is to keep the visitor gambling through hunger, thirst and exhaustion, then why did Dover Downs Hotel & Casino set me up in a room with a jacuzzi as tempting as a vat of champagne?
Maybe, I wondered as I ran the water, the Delaware property was trying to relax me, thereby easing the pain of future losses in the casino. Maybe, I assumed as I tossed in a touch of scented bath salts, the hotel was provoking me with the good life, so that I’d place high gambles in an effort to sustain this level of luxury. But what if, I mulled as I sank into the warm churning waters, they were just being seriously, very pleasant, booking me into this undeserved suite? Aah yes, I concluded with a soft splash, Dover Downs is nice .
I’m really not a rube when it comes to hotel-casinos. I’ve done my time in Atlantic Town, Las Vegas and Albuquerque. But Dover Downs is shockingly different. For one, it isn’t garish no flashing neon, bombastic sound system or hyper-patterned carpeting that may trigger an eye twitch. The lobby is, dare I say, stylish, with sky-bound white columns, marble floors and a luxuriant floral center piece. The hotel is connected to the casino by open passageways (can’t have players clowning with handles), but there is enough of a buffer to maintain a separation of slots and sleep.
In the Dover Downs timeline, the harness racing and NASCAR track came 1st (1967-69), followed by the slots (1995) and then ultimately the lodging (2002). Though the hotel was the last to join the party, it’s not straggling along behind the other operations. It has grown from 232 rooms to five hundred rooms, catching the title as the country’s largest hotel.
At the front desk, I kindly requested a room with a view of the track, which was suspended during my July stay but active with harness racing from late October to mid-April. With a go-
Ahead-and-accept-it grin, the worker handed me the key card to a Jacuzzi suite, one of fourteen on the tenth floor. Not desiring to destroy the illusion that I used to be a big player, I kept my history as a penny-slot shark to myself.
The elephantine suite living space with freestanding kitchenette, bedroom, 2 lavatories could have swallowed my Washington studio and half my neighbor’s place. The stylish decor (desert colours, framed images of flora, mirrors aplenty) deferred to the floor-to-ceiling windows, which let in the muted lights of the track and the dusky night sky.
While I was playing dolphin in my Jacuzzi, temptation called from other parts of the hotel-casino complex. I considered drying off to try one or all the above : the spa ; the gymnasium with punching bag, pool and hot tub ; the bars and lounges ; and / or the restaurants, including Michele’s, a fine-dining establishment on the second floor. As an alternative I threw in another little spoon of bath crystals. Finally, though, my resistance eroded. Or perhaps I was simply beginning to feel damp.
As part of my reservation, I’d received $25 in free slot play. En route to the Capital Club Members desk to gather my card, I detoured to the free soda machine (nice touch) and the winners’ board (nice display of false hope). Sure, I would really like to win $4.8 million like Bert D. Of Fairfax, but I’d also settle for a couple of bucks to buy a sticky bun at Sweet Perks.
I won $4.91 on She is a Rich Girl, enough for a treat and a coffee, and lost the rest on slots featuring lovable critters. (Never trust a mystifying wolf.) Returning to my suite, my pockets empty, I recognized the true windfall of the night : my Jacuzzi, which would never tell me “Game over”, writes tagza.com.
