If you go this route one of the better neighborhood blues bars is over in Newport: Mansion Hill Tavern. As far as I know they still book live bands Friday and Saturday and they used to have an open jam on Sundays.
I just ran into someone from back home the other day and he told me Walt's Hitching Post is under new management and really has a good kitchen again. Dee Felice in Covington - if it is still there - is another nice place for a dinner and some nights they have a jazz band... The food isn't the greatest at Rookwood Pottery but it is decent and it is kind of a fun place to eat if you have never been - it used to be a pottery and you can tell when you are inside as you can see kilns where they used to fire stuff. Plus there are nice views of the city from up there and you can bar hop after dinner. Parking sucks in Mt Adams though making it a great place to limo or cab to.
What about the casinos? As a rule they have good food and in addition to gambling some have entertainment and the hotel thing you talked about is an option at most if not all of them.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
