[Blindtlk] Going To A Hotel

[Judy Jones]

I've only been to a cassino once, and it was with my daughter.  WE had fun 
taking 3 hours to blow $20.  She basically acted as the screen reader for 
me, but found most of the machines had similar button layouts.

This was several years ago, and I don't know if the machines are all touch 
screen now or how they work.  From my limited exposure, though, I would say 
you would need someone to read the displays on the machines.  Whenever we 
would win money, for example, the machines would produce a slip of thin 
paper, like a redemption ticket you turn in for cash.

Whenever at a strange hotel, and I've been to many, I always ask the general 
layout when I arrive.  Once doing this walk-through, I've had very little 
trouble finding where I want to go on my own.

Best.

Judy

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
