Casino doesn't welcome families

   Last Saturday night, I had the pleasure of having my father and brother visit for the weekend. Since the opening of the casino, my dad has been anxious to visit and enjoy.
    To make a long story short, he took my family there, wishing to eat at the restaurant. But little did we know, there is no outside entrance to the eating establishment. So here is the setting. I get there with my wife and two of my children. We enter the outer doors and see the sign about the age limit. I have no problem with not letting underage kids into the casino. As we stand between the doorways, a security guard comes out and, in a rude manner, instructs me to remove my kids from inside the building. My dad was inside, asking about getting through to the restaurant. And I wasn’t “in” the building.  We were standing inside the outer doors, not even on the floor of the casino.
    Well, you lost any chance of me, my family, or any close relative of ever setting foot in there. I am surprised that there is no outer door to the restaurant.  This casino is not “family friendly.” And that is too bad. I was looking forward to visiting another eatery in the community.
    Other families beware. You are not welcome at this establishment. Your kids are not welcome. And watch out for the security guards. At least one of them has no class.
