Coconut Creek and The Isle: Which do you prefer?
I wrote in today's metro section about the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek offering a space flight as its summer promotion.
GM Steve Bonner was very honest about facing competiton from The Isle in Pompano Beach, which has been open for about 13 months. The two casinos are the northernmost in Broward County, so if you live in Boca, Delray or north Broward, they're your closest choices.
Bonner's thoughts:
"We’re in the midst of an ongoing battle, in a good way, it’s a good thing and keeps us all on our toes. We're going after the same base.Having competition does step up the scale of what we want to do for the guest, and frankly it grows the market for everyone."
The Isle declined to comment on another casino's promotion (I don't blame them), but it makes me curious.
To Isle players: Would having a chance at a space flight entice you to Coconut Creek?
To Coconut Creek players: Would the Isle's promotions draw you away and over to them?
Or is there one facet or another about your casino, aside from promotions, that keeps you there? Food? Service? Smoking/non-smoking? Clientele? The compact? Card room? Parking?
It's a long weekend, so fire away.

Comments
I prefer to choose to Coconut Creek players. Well they were offering a space flight as summer promotion. If both them offer the best quality that satisfy players so why not? As what they say; "We’re in the midst of an ongoing battle, in a good way, it’s a good thing and keeps us all on our toes. We're going after the same base. Having competition does step up the scale of what we want to do for the guest, and frankly it grows the market for everyone." That’s what good competitors do.

I don't go to the Isle because their machines don't payoff as well as all of the Seminole's do...They'll be my choice if I'm gonna throw money away..
