Leaving Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort in Mt. Pleasant

When my parents come to town, I pretty much expect going to a casino.  I don’t expect it when J’s parents come, but we were in Midland and needed something else to do up that way, so I suggested Soaring Eagle.  I had been there once before with my parents, aunt, brother, and sister-in-law.  My parents loved it calling it one of the nicest casino’s they’ve ever been to.  My brother hated it.  He tried turning $20 into $80 so he could pay for a hotel room back in Lansing.  Instead, he lost $80 in about fifteen minutes and pouted the rest of the night.

Soaring Eagle Casino is on the edge of Mt. Pleasant off of Leaton Road.  The whole property is beautiful.  In Illinois, all the casino’s are built around old riverboat casinos, so they don’t look anything like the Indian casino’s in Michigan.  There’s an abundance of parking.  We found a spot in a lot that was a little bit of a walk from the entrance.  After a big BBQ lunch, I needed it.

The inside is just gorgeous.  When you walk in, you almost come in right on the gaming floor.  The thing that has surprised me both times is that there’s not really a single entrance to the gaming floor that is watched by a security guard checking ID’s.  Again, at the casino’s in Illinois, if you’re under 40, they’ll take your id, put it on a scanner then make you look in to a camera so they have it on file.  There’s only one way in and one way out.  I’ve been surprised both times that we walked onto the gaming floor without talking to or being stopped by anyone.  Hell, we even got stopped twice in Windsor.

My parents only play slots so that’s all I really know and J’s parents aren’t really gamblers so we went all the way to the back of the floor…which seems like a mile long….to find the penny and nickle slots.  Those machines confuse the hell out of me.  I never know if I win until the screen lights up.  I think it takes some of the fun out of it.  I’d rather play the machines that only have one or three payout lines and they’re straight across.  J put five bucks in a penny slot and at one point was up to almost $35, but cashing out and going home isn’t much fun.  She played for a good half hour on that initial five bucks she put in. 

I, on the other hand, put my five bucks in a quarter machine and I was done in five minutes.  I was one symbol away from a $500 payday…my heart skipped a beat for a second until that third symbol didn’t come up.

I noticed some cool things on this trip that I didn’t notice on our first trip.  The first was computerized black jack and poker tables.  You still sat and played against other players, but there was no dealer.  It was a video machine. It was neat, but also kind of weird. Why would you want to play there and not with a dealer.  Another cool idea was having self serve fountain pops in the middle of the gaming floor.  Like most other casinos, non-alcoholic drinks were free, so instead of waiting for a server, you could go get your own. 

The main drawback was the obvious.  It was hard to breathe.  I’m not going to rant about smoking because I knew when I walked in that it was going to be smokey.  It doesn’t bother me too much, but J and her mom really noticed it.  Like I said before, if I was going to gamble just because I like to gamble, I’d be driving to Canada, but I do really like Soaring Eagle (and yes, I know Soaring Eagle would not be part of a statewide smoking ban).

In summation, Soaring Eagle is really a great casino.  They’ve got games for everyone.  My family tends to stick to the smaller slot machines.  For them, it’s about playing, not so much winning.  Winning is nice, but most profits get sunk back into the machines, so having and abundance of penny and nickle slots is nice.  If table games are more your thing, there’s plenty of them too.  Soaring Eagle is the only casino I’ve been to in Michigan, so I can’t compare to them, but compared to the casinos I’ve been in Illinois, Soaring Eagle is amazing.

Visited Soaring Eagle approx 3 years ago, I am not a big gambler, in fact, it was my first and only Cansino I ever been too! But I was impressed but I didn’t win, but I enjoyed the experience. I visit my favorite two places to eat in Mount Pleasant., on this trip, Embers and the Sweet Onion, both were great as always. I did hear a rumor that both are not closed, if that it is true, that is a big shame!

In first post, I meant to say “I did hear a rumor that both are now closed, if that it is true, that is a big shame!”

Soaring Eagle is Terrilbe. The bathrooms are dirty most of the time, the servers are pratically invisible,the rooms are worse than most hotels,security is a joke and the SLOTS are TIGHT! The casino is NOT paying OFF.Do not go and waste money you don’t have to waste.Use it on Christmas. Trust me,your kids and grandkids will have more fun with the presents you buy them with that money.There are so many people I run into up there that complain about putting 50,100 or so into a 9 line NICKLE machine and it’s gone that fast. Others put in 100,200etc. in a quarter machine and it’s gone that fast.I myself have walked in with 200-300 and played quarter machines and walked out,not kidding,20 minutes later BROKE! Stay away and maybe they will loosen their slots up!

I like the Detroit casinos, especially the MGM Grand. Someday I’ll try the Wolfgang Puck restaurant in there.

Again, taking careful note and drinking in moderation is the key – Moderation AGAIN: Yep, I think we need to beat this
drum a little more, to understand that white wine can stall weight loss if not consumed
moderately. If you prefer just to have an online support
line you can. To achieve this you should avoid
eating out too much.

I am extremely inspired with your writing
talents and also with the format in your blog.

Either way stay up the excellent quality writing, it’s rare to peer a nice blog like this one today..

Do you have a spam issue on this site; I also am a blogger, and
I was curious about your situation; we have created some nice methods and
we are looking to swap methods with other folks, why not shoot me an e-mail if interested.

It is easiest and most effective to make moving
your body a habit. The conclusions were reached
after a thirty two (32) week long study and would be published in the journal Steroids.
Luckily, we live in an era of many technological advances such as smartphones, and tablets that have a myriad of
useful apps; so why not use this technology to help you lose weight.

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up.

The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
The layout look greeat though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon.
Many thanks

Hey there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was
wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve
had problems with hackers and I’m looking at
options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you
could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Amazing blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?

A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make
my blog shine. Please let me know where yyou got your
theme. Thanks a lot

Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.

When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but
when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.

I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, amazing blog!

wonderful issues altogether, you simply received a new reader.
What could you suggest in regards to your publish that you
simply made some days ago? Any sure?

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I
would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.

I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the
hang of it!

Definitely imagine that that you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to be
at the net the simplest factor to take note of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed even as
folks consider concerns that they plainly don’t recognise about.
You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and
defined out the entire thing with no need side
effect , other folks could take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thank you

Весной меня братан попросил подсобить со строительством дачи. Я, по жизни, опытней, да и хозяином знающим считают, только вот в строительстве не особо. Опозориться не мог, а мне посоветовали отличный ресурс с разными обучающими видео уроками.

Посмотрел и очень немало для себя взял: и как монтаж электропроводки быстро сделать, и как обшивать сайдингом, и как работать с гипсокартонном. А больше всего понравилось видео штукатурка стен и видео строительство домов. Брат и сам не думал, что я так много смогу помочь!
