We're happy to start taking our gambling money elsewhere for weekend getaways.

Michele has always kept us coming back, but she is the only reason. We only had luck in the teeny ting smoking area that was once the non smoking area.

But, the changes in the casino have resulted in a bar area that is practically dead and the lack of a crowd has resulted in tighter machines. This allowed us to prolong our time in the casino if we were unlucky, but more often than not, we would have plenty of luck to keep us playing and to keep tipping Michele for her amazing service. We developed a wonderful friendship with Michele, who is the absolute BEST bartender, and we would enjoy talking with her while enjoying some music, drinks, and video poker. We spent MANY evenings people watching from the bar and dancing ourselves. Although the boat no longer sails, your ship might come in when you play at one of the 1,500 slot machines, 70+ table games and nearly 20 poker tables on the huge casino floor. This was by far the best part of the casino. Another popular casino near Bloomington is the Horseshoe Southern Indiana Casino, which is located about an hour and a half southeast of Bloomington. The large dance floor and stage (with DJ on the weekends) have been eliminated in favor of a sports book. Now the casino has morphed into something totally different than it was 6 years ago. We used to be able to comp an entire weekend at the hotel and over time our comps started to decrease (although our play and frequency of visits did not). We have been frequenting French Lick Casino multiple times a year since 2014.
