| Post subject: | Fiesta Casino Alejuela |
Well....visited the Fiesta Casino week before last on a Saturday (July 16th), as my Tica-wife & I often do before heading to the Gulch for the evening. Arrived about 4PM or so & entered & visited the tables. Both were full (Rummy). I asked if they had an open table for Blackjack. They pointed me in the opposite direction. Thinking they might have additional tables I looked & finally asked "¿Dónde?". He said "Máquinas". I've never played the Blackjack machines & didn't want to start. I said so & asked if they'd open a table for me. I also said if it wasn't possible we'd just go to another casino. In a minute he came back & said no problem, for $100 a hand. Thinking I misunderstood, I asked "¿100 dólares para un zapato?" and he replied "No, por mano". I asked if the manager was available & he was pointed out to me. I asked again (nicely) & the manager (along with another manager - both in suits) repeated the $100 a hand deal. I said I didn't realize the had changed the rules (the rummy players were betting 2,000C). He said they hadn't and the previous times I had used the machines. Sorry, but that was just a lie. I said no, I had never used the machines & I pulled a $500 and a $100 chip out of my pocket. Well, he went on about how I had used the machines the other time and it was always $100 a hand for Blackjack at the tables. After listening to him a few minutes (I never did raise my voice), I simply said, "Con respeto, usted habla mucha mierda.". Damn, did it go downhill from there. He started screaming, security came running & he went on and on about how this was HIS country and if I didn't like it, there was the door. In my defense, I prefaced my [honest] comment with "with respect,". Anyway, after a few minutes of taking his spittle, I finally said "No es posible hablar con mentiroso." which made his volume level get even louder. Bottom line - they saw a fat, rich gringo with loads of money & a puta (only accurate assessment is the fat part....) so I cashed in the $600 and we left. Unfortunate because we'd been there 50 times or more in the last two years. Anyway, we stopped off at the Cantina (BW Irazu) upon the recommendation of Diego @ the Horsehoe & they said they will offer Blackjack in about two weeks. Returning on Monday so we'll see if two weeks is two weeks or tico-time. This post if for information only; we'll certainly not return the the Fiesta. I also suspect that is they try to screw one gringo, they'll likely try with others. It's just too far out to drive there & be treated like that, IMHO. /dddick |

Last time I spent time in the Fiesta, it was bad as well. Chicken sandwich (chicken strips on bread) took about 30 minutes to have and was cold when delivered. Not to mention WAY overpriced... Tried to gamble a bit but the two card shoes they tried didn't work so lost any faith and left. In general, finding any time Ticos have problems with a gringo, they immediatly resort back to the 'it's my country' line and go on about the 'faults' of gringos. Become very common here it seems

Wow! Rude I understand, a little tico shit head with a little authority and importance in his world envious of a gringo with money and a cute girl who doesn't kiss his ass like alot of us do so as to not make waves or whatever. But how can any pit boss be that stupid? |

I used to play a blackjack tournement on Tuesday evenings at the Fiesta. They cancelled it about a year ago,and friends and I haven't been back since. We also played decent blackjack in the VIP room at a $25 minimum. Since they stopped the touneys (which had great food at no cost) They fired Nick Costas,who was the marketing guy for the VIP room. They then closed down the VIP room and put in more machines. So the Fiesta Casino is now a grind joint,and for me there is no reason to ever go there. |

The shows, live bands and dance floor used to be pretty good. But, it's been a couple of years since I have been. |
