    Best casino in Philly?
    I’ll be in Philly this weekend. What is the best casino to go to? Harrah’s, Parx, or Sugarhouse?

    Mostly a table game player (craps).

    Also, where’s the best place to get an authentic Philly cheese steak?

    thought/suggestions?

    What kind of odds are offered on craps at these establishments? 3x4x5x, 5x, 10x?

      Joey depends where’ you’re staying. Parx hands down best casino but actually in bucks Co. sugar house closer to Center City. Harrahs in shit hole Chester

      With regard to cheese steak please stay away from pats / genos. Do yourself a favor cross the Ben Franklin bridge and go to Donkey’s place in Camden. Hands down best plus have a bar

        Staying up in Willow Grove so Parx is not too far away. Any idea on the craps odds offered?

        Yea, Pats not very good. Had it once at a Phillies game and I was not impressed. I’ll be in downtown a bit to check out some sites. I’ll have to go check out Donkeys.

        Thanks for for the advice!

            If you’re in Willow Grove go to Parx for sure. Harrah’s isn’t too but it’s a hike coming from where you are.

              sugar house if fun, has a new BAR on the end of it

              but best is the higher end restaurant and the Frog LEgs, dont miss it. sit at the bar and visit with the bartenders and have the Frog legs

              craps I thought was 3X 4X 5X set up

              I do recall 15 minimums at times, maybe it was $10

                Try actually the restaurant is called Hugo Frogs. It’s a Chicago steak house chain. A bit pricey but no riff raff there.

                Jakey not much of a pork sandwich guy so you’re on your own. For pretzels as I’m sure wizzle will concur it’s gotta be the old pennsauken Mart pretzel place that’s on rt 130 in cinnaminson. Top notch.

                        Never been there. Not too familiar with NJ food spots except for a few here or there.

                        For roast pork you can’t beat John’s Roast Pork in South Philly or Dinic’s in Reading Terminal Market on 12th St in Center City.

                                    Hugo's Frog Bar is under the same ownership umbrella as Gibsons in Chicago (probably the most famous steakhouse in Chicago), so you'll likely get Gibsons' steaks at Hugo's if you eat there.

                                            Sands is 1000% better than Parx

                                            There is no comparison

                                            I am a pro

                                              Are you a dealer or do you work in one of the restaurants?

                                                If you're at Sugarhouse, go south down Delaware Ave (the road that runs along the river under the bridges), past the Ben Franklin Bridge till you see an IKEA on the right. Turn right at the light before IKEA and go one block to a little shithole looking place on the left called John's Roast Pork. Undoubtedly the BEST cheesesteak and roast pork sandwiches in the city! That's all they sell, those two sandwiches. HUGE! Fresh rolls, made in front of you, they've been doing it for decades. All the locals go there. Doesn't look like much from the outside but the sandwiches are great. Cash only! I always grab one when I'm in that section of town. Trust me. It's the real deal.

I had to have a reason and told my buddy that u have over ten million post nation wide on sports forums. They said that if u come in they will just shoot you. I said guys ease up a little and they said if a guy has over ten million post on multiple sports sites he needs to go.
