As I briefly mentioned yesterday, we're in the middle of a pre-spring monsoon here in the 'Ville. In the past 36 hours, we've had over four inches of rain. And it's still raining as I type this. Roads are closed and the flood gates have been put in place along the Ohio River. We've been selling pumps like crazy for the past few days at work, and the worst news of all, the Glory Of Rome is closed until the flood waters go down.
Yes, faithful readers, early this morning Caesar's announced that they were closing the Glory Of Rome due to flooding on the Ohio River and along the low-lying road that goes to the Glory Of Rome. The last time they had to close the boat was back in January of 2005. The casino boat was closed for ten days due to flooding. Of course, the regulars said that it took months and months before the slot machines were loose again because they had to recoup all that the money they lost in the ten days the casino and hotel was closed. Based on what the 'Rents and I have not won in the last few times we've been to the Glory Of Rome, I'd say that they're still trying to recoup the lost revenue.
