After being out to the Lake only two or three times this year, I've finally come to the realization that the casino will likely never reopen. Wah!
And the shuttering of many of the stores and/or restaurants can attest to that. Even many of the popular ones have called it quits, except for Sonrisa Grill, Auld Dubliner, Sunset & Vines, Rocky Mountain Choc. Factory, Luna Rossa and a few new restaurants such as Lobstermans. The hotels (Westin, Hilton and that other one) are still hanging in there, which is kind of surprising to me.
I still recommend coming out here to partake in some lake related activities or walk, bike, rollerblade and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Hopefully there will still be some restaurants open to enjoy afterwards!
