We had a good time, but a few hours into the night we wanted a drink. And guess what? It's a dry casino! Yea. I had no idea a casino could exist without alcohol. Another casino we've gone to in Minnesota has a bar but you can't drink at the slot machines. Weird right? This place doesn't even have a bar. When we asked someone, 'where can we get a drink?' The response was, 'The Indians don't believe in alcohol.' Really? They don't believe in alcohol, but apparently supporting people's gambing habits is fine. It's an odd concept, but I have to say, the place was packed. Towards the end of the night Jason and I had trouble finding two slot machines next to each other. Apparently alcohol is not needed to fill up a casino.
Just left Mystic Lake early after finding out it's dry. I recently moved from MI and don't understand the complex that this state has with drinking. It's like they're stuck in the 19th century. Just ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteDear idiots, the concept behind a dry casino has nothing to do with "Indians not believing in alcohol." And, it isn't a complex this state has. It has to do with the large amount of conflict and tragedy that has been associated with the Native American nations and alcohol on the property -- so it is a way to protect EVERYONE who visits the casino, the roads, the community. Grow up.
