I have heard it is not wise to visit this casino without carrying a gun

Is it as bad as I have heard?

It's not in the nicest part of town, but if you get valet you have nothing to worry about. There were actually two robberies at The Bicycle when I lived there, I think one of the guys is "Men the Master's" crew was involved.

Involved on which end, robbed or being robbed?

Maybe both, from what I've heard about those guys. But I think he was on the being robbed end. It was a little while ago, not clear on the facts. Although it was a day after I played there.

Hollywood Park is generally OK. I've never heard of any problems for players carrying normal amounts of cash and don't feel at all concerned when I go there. Just take Century Blvd directly to and from the 405 - it's well lit. There are stories of players leaving with very large rolls and getting followed, robbed & killed. So, if you do end up a big winner, be smart about how you handle it - this goes for any cardroom.
