MLC, there's plenty to do in S. Florida besides kicking Pillow Pants's balls.

Yes, but I'm sure that would make me a heroine on this board.

if i was in the area MLC, i'd go. i mean, can you really have a bad time at the track?? it's not what it once was, a lot less emphasis i understand on live racing, and a lot more on the casino aspect. and i believe they did lower some of the pricing. go to their website and check them out...

I did check out the site, but didn't spend too much time on it to get a real picture of what's there. When you say not too much emphasis on live racing, what does that mean? Is it indoors?

from what i understand, there isn't a whole lot of space dedicated to watching the racing from outside...not much of an apron anymore. i'm sure someone who's been there could help you out more than me, i just know from different things i've read that there was a lot of criticism for how they re-did the place...

but like i said, i'd still go-whether i'd return after that visit i don't know! but i would definitely go.
