Thanks for your recommendations.

I like some of the slot games, but I would also like to play 
blackjack if
possible.  Any recommendations for this?

Sure we could stay away from it, but we don’t get many chances to 
go to the
casino.  :) Wouldn’t want to miss out on it if there’s a way we 
can do it.

 What you can do instead of getting someone to walk you around, 
when you
 check in is just show you the layout of the hotel, then they can 
give you
 a
 physical layout where things are, that is the best way to get 
around any
 new
 place.  Always prepare before you go.  If a security guard is 
walking
 around
 with you who is protecting the hotel.  Ask someone in the 
Concierge
 department to help you.

 It depends in you are playing the card games or the slots, now I 
play
 black
 jack but my husband is sighted so he helps me with cards, slot 
machines
 some
 of them have an ear piece to put your headphones in so some are 
becoming
 more and more audible.  So you are limited to what you can play 
if the
 casino doesn't have accessible machines, again call and ask to 
speak to
 the
 casino manager they would know which machines are which.

 You never want to play the table games with people you never 
played with
 before, not safe.

 Try using the pool or other areas of the hotel instead.

 Hello,

 So I have a question that I thought I might be able to find an 
answer to
 here.

 My wife and I are going away for a couple of nights this week 
for our
 three-year anniversary.  We're going to a hotel/casino.

 I called them to see how they could help us, since we've never 
been there
 before.  They said they could have someone from security help us 
from
 place-to-place as we need it, so that is useful.

 One thing I'm wondering about though.  We'd like to go to the 
casino, which
 is right inside the hotel.  I'm not sure how we can do this 
accessibly.
 They
 said they can't have someone do anything more than just show us 
to our
 destination.  I'm wondering what options we might be able to 
pursue so we
 can
 do this and enjoy our anniversary.

 Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

 Peace,
 Brandon
