Dodge City Casino Opens
Casino opened at 1:00 p.m.
December 15, 2009
A new casino has opened in Dodge City, as Kansas bets on drawing additional tourists to a town best known as the setting of televisions "Gunsmoke."
The Boot Hill Casino and Resort let customers onto its gambling floor shortly after clearing its final regulatory hurdle Tuesday. Boot Hill is the first of four state-owned casinos authorized by a 2007 law. Olathe-based Butler National Corp. committed nearly $90 million to its construction.
The casino has more than 580 slot machines and 12 tables for games such as blackjack.
The casino's Western theme plays on Dodge City's history as a formerly raucous cowtown in the 1870s and 1880s. A ribbon-cutting ceremony -- and a visit from Gov. Mark Parkinson-- are set for Wednesday.
They're reporting operating hours of: 24/7, 365! Who needs Vegas?

I took a friend out for her birthday. We both had the prime rib. She had the small (which she couldn't finish) and I had the large. It came with mixed beans, potato, gravy, salad, soup and rolls. It was delicious. The meat was perfectly prepared. We topped it off with a bananas foster. The dessert wasn't quite as good as the main dish. The bananas were like leather. She had rice pilaf instead of potato. Her rice was bland-no taste at all.
One side note...We had to wait for 25 minutes for a seat. When we got seated, we noticed they were only about 20% full. I'm not sure why people are having to wait so long with all the available seating, perhaps the chef is not able to keep up??
Overall, I give them an A-. It's worth the money and I'm sure they will get better with time.

Anyone know what happened with this situation at tonight's (Monday) school board meeting?
You should do it! That would be sooo funny! Good job! :thumbs_up:
Missouri from his deck? Is that like Russia from my house? That would be Tina Fey, not Sarah Palin.
A common mistake by folks that get too much of their news from comedy shows.
