Maybe, I Wondered As I Ran The Water, The Delaware Property Was Making An Attempt To Relax Me, So Easing The Pain Of Future Losses In The Casino.
If a casino’s goal is to keep the visitor gambling thru hunger, thirst and exhaustion, then why did Dover Downs Hotel & Casino set me up in a room with a jacuzzi as enticing as a vat of bubbly?
Maybe, I wondered as I ran the water, the Delaware property was making an attempt to relax me, so easing the discomfort of future losses in the casino. Maybe, I assumed as I tossed in a pinch of scented bath salts, the hotel was teasing me with the good life, so that I’d place high gambles in an attempt to sustain this level of luxury. But what if, I mulled as I sank into the warm churning waters, they were just being really, really good, booking me into this undeserved suite? Aah yes, I concluded with a soft splash, Dover Downs is nice .
I’m not a rube when it comes to hotel-casinos. I’ve done my time in Atlantic City, Las Vegas and Albuquerque. But Dover Downs is surprisingly 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, tasteful, with sky-bound white columns, marble floors and a luxuriant floral centerpiece. The hotel is attached to the casino by open passage ways (can’t have players fumbling with door knobs), 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 finally the lodging (2002). Though the hotel was the last to join the party, it is not falling behind the other operations. It has grown from 232 rooms to 5 hundred rooms, nabbing the title as the country’s biggest hotel.
At the reception desk, I respectfully 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 smile, the worker passed me the key card to a Jacuzzi suite, one of fourteen on the tenth floor. Not desiring to ruin the illusion that I was a high roller, I kept my history as a penny-slot shark to myself.
The elephantine suite living space with freestanding kitchenette, bedroom, two bathrooms could have swallowed my Washington studio plus half my neighbor’s place. The stylish decor (desert hues, framed pictures 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 bits of the hotel-casino complex. I considered drying off to try one or all the above : the spa ; the gym with punch bag, pool and spa ; the bars and lounges ; and / or the cafes, including Michele’s, a fine-dining establishment on the second floor. Instead , I threw in another little spoon of bath crystals. Ultimately, though, my resistance eroded. Or perhaps I was simply starting to feel damp.
As a part of my reservation, I’d received $25 in free slot play. In transit 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 fake hope). Sure, I’d love to win $4.8 million like Bert D. Of Fairfax, but I’d also accept a few bucks to purchase a sticky bun at Sweet Advantages.
I won $4.91 on She is a Rich Girl, enough for a treat and a coffee, and lost the rest on slot machines featuring lovable beasts. (Never trust a mysterious wolf.) Returning to my suite, my pockets empty, I recognised the true windfall of the night : my Jacuzzi, which would never let me know “Game over”, writes tagza.com.
