(via uweekly) Local Spring Break: Wheeling, West Virginia

For those who don’t have the money to visit Las Vegas over break, try Wheeling Island Hotel and Casino. You don’t have to sit at the high-roller tables to have fun, as penny and nickel slot machines are available. Not a card shark and don’t find the slot machines amusing? Find your way to the greyhound track and place a bet on your favorite four-legged speed demons. As long as you don’t bet money you can’t afford to lose, Wheeling is sure to be a day of inexpensive entertainment that you won’t be able to find in Ohio.

This made me smile. I love greyhounds. Especially when it involves a 4-dog superfecta.

Dear Columbus,

don’t move the casino site from Arena District. The thought of riding my bike during the summer a mile through Short North, watching baseball, then shooting some craps just sounds like a dream. The westside is too lame to ride to. I know, I know, poverty, crime, blah-blah, look at the Harrah’s in New Orleans, that place is baller.
