Default I want to go to Canterbury

But I live kinda far away, Springfield, IL. It's an 8 hour drive. If I fly, is there an easy way to get to the casino and a place to stay?

I'm from the milwaukee area and went there over 4th of july. It's a nice room (definetely way better than anything around here). I got a hat for making a straight flush to boot!

If you fly there, it is about a half hour from the airport. I hear there are hotels about 5 minutes away, but i dont know the area very well.

I drove from Urbana. It's substantially easier than driving to Vegas [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

yah, you're probably stuck with taxi - it's a bit of a ride - I'd guess 30 bucks or so (it's 30 from Canterbury to uptown - almost the same distance) -

hotels are right next door to Canterbury - once there, a 10 min. walk around to the front will get you in.

The airport is about 20-25 minutes from the casino. Perhaps one of the nearby hotels (there are two within a mile of Canterbury) has a shuttle that runs back and forth? Your best bet would be the Canterbury Inn (not part of the casino itself, it's down the road).

Also, I know you're a very high-stakes player. Does this mean that you don't have much live experience?

I'm not very high-stakes anymore but, yes, I have very little live experience. I've played in some home games and some private underground NL games, never in a casino.
