I've been thinking about it more and more, and I might just pick a weekend and go to a riverboat casino around here because they have sports gambling now and I'd be in a casino the entire time in Vegas, so what's the difference between here and there?  (Stick around here instead of going out a second time because we already have flights and everything booked for the weekend of the Bengals game.)

Hollywood is 15 minutes away, Rising Star is 20 minutes away, and Belterra is 30 minutes, and those are all max times, so why not save a bunch of money by just staying in one of the hotels on one of those boats? 

I've heard New Orleans is pretty wild, even when it's not Mardi Gras.  

I might make a trip down there at some point but the only problem is most of my friends are married with full-time jobs, so they wouldn't be getting as crazy as I'd like.  

I'll definitely try to make the trip down there for that game if we play there in 2022.

New Orleans is really only "wild" on Bourbon Street.  Which unless you're looking to get hammered and wade through puke, piss and prostitutes in the street isn't much more than a tourist trap.  New Orleans outside of Bourbon Street has the whole rest of the French Quarter (equal parts sketchy, great food and amazing music), some beautiful architecture, interesting history and some of the friendliest people in America.  There's plenty to do to fill your days and nights.  It's history has not always been kind, and it can be a rough city, but it's full of resilience and character.
