We're below sea level. I have never been in a home with a basement in the 10 years I've lived here.

Here's the breakdown for casino poker in NO relevant to what you are looking for:
Harrah's: 3/6, 6/12, 1-4-8-8 half holdem-half omaha, & other higher limits; 10% rake 5$ max & 1$ jackpot rake Boomtown: 3/6, games vary; 10% rake 4$ max & 1$ jackpot Boomtown is about 15 min from downtown NO on the opposite bank of the river in the middle of an industrial area. There's only 6 tables, and usually only a couple of games going. If you get really bored and decide to check it out, make sure you call first. However, there's enough action at Harrah's that you won't need to drive out there. Also, I've lived in or around NO my whole life save 3 years, and I've never a true basement before. The Harrah's tunnel is the only structure I know of, and maybe a handful of subT parking lots. Oh, and stay away from Bourbon & St. Ann lol |

For those who have never seen a basement in New Orleans, give me a PM. I will take you on a whirlwind tour of Uptown where you will see all sorts of basements.
And speaking of poker at Harrah's, someone at my table won the BB Jackpot the other night. It was the biggest I've ever seen it at $43k. Good night that was. |

I grew up in Kenner, and spent a fair amount of time in the city, and have just been back for a year. I always thought I was sure there were no basements in NO. But now one hazy memory of someone's father's friend's pool room is coming back and confusing me--I'm contacting a friend who is a contractor and another who is an architect so I can get this straight.

okay, this is from a 4th generation uptown new orleanian who is in construction:
--------------------------------- not strickly. some houses have been raised and then the floor has been dug out slightly, but i am not aware of any basements lower than the street level itself. sometimes dirt has been piled around the house, making the yard of the house higher than the street and giving the appearance of a sunken basement. the storm drains are the lowest a residence can practically be, or else the toilets won't drain and the rain will seep in and fill the basement. if you find a true basement, we will break in one night and take a look. ---------------------------------------- we'd be happy to take up any invitation for a tour, for curiosity's sake. |
