\"Belterra<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Belterra Casino Resort appeals to all ages<\/b><\/h2>\n

Technically, the casino is actually a riverboat, but it\u2019s moored permanently at 777 Belterra Drive, in Florence, Indiana. Attached to the resort, you never need to go outside; but you will want to.\u00a0 The resort is surrounded by a lovely golf course.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Belterra<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For gaming<\/b>, the casino is open 24\/7 with progressive payouts, a high-limits room, a non-smoking room, and the chance to accumulate points with their \u201cmychoice\u201d players card.\u00a0 You\u2019ll definitely want to get a card, as the points accumulate quickly and they offer some dynamite rewards. If it\u2019s table games you crave, you\u2019ll find Craps, Blackjack and Roulette among others.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For eating<\/b>, there\u2019s no reason to leave.\u00a0 The resort offers a wide range of choices for both palette and budget.\u00a0 From 19 Steak and Seafood\u2019s<\/b> ultimate steak menu to Nosh<\/b>, the delicious, made-fresh-daily bakery bar and coffee shop, you\u2019ve just scratched the surface. The huge Stadium<\/b> sports bar features local memorabilia along with enough HDTV\u2019s to cover every game and 50 top beers to enjoy. But then, if you have trouble choosing, you could always try the Buffet<\/b>.\u00a0 Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner selections, you\u2019ll find a great array of hot entrees, healthy salads, brick oven pizzas and on Friday and Saturday nights, all-you-can-eat crab legs. Hint: they do an awesome job with omelets for breakfast. \u00a0You\u2019ll also find snack bars in the casino\u2019s lower level and next to the pro shop on the golf course.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For sleeping<\/b>, well it\u2019s not what you come to a resort for, but everybody\u2019s got to sleep sometime.\u00a0 The hotel offers double queens, kings and suites.\u00a0 Each room is spacious and generously appointed.\u00a0 The bed is like sleeping on the perfect cloud.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"img_2600\" \"img_2569\" \"img_2548\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For golf<\/b>, it\u2019s hard to beat a Tom Fazio designed golf course, and Belterra\u2019s course was named one of the top 21 casino golf courses in the nation.\u00a0 With exciting holes up to 543 yards in length, this par 71 course will captivate golfers of any ability.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For entertainment<\/b>, check the events calendar<\/a> for the latest acts booked in the 1,500-seat Center Stage Showroom. This large space offers close-up seating so every seat is a great seat for music or comedy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For pure relaxation<\/b>, wander up to the Beleza Spa and Salon on the second floor. Try one of their eight massage therapies, six body treatments or nine facials. As a guy, I\u2019ve got to admit, their 50-minute Luxe Gentlemen\u2019s Facial and 50-minute Luxe European Massage were something like I\u2019ve never experienced before. If there is such a thing as perfect relaxation, this was as close as I\u2019ve ever come. My wife tried the Hot Stone Massage and a facial, enjoying it just as much as I.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For more information<\/b>, check their website:\u00a0 http:\/\/belterracasino.com<\/a>. Stay tuned<\/a> for our visit to the racetrack in Cincinnati.\u00a0 Spoiler alert \u2013 the dinner overlooking the track was fabulous.<\/p>\n
