 | minkey (36) 06/09/2004 |  Casino de Montreal is beautiful. The bottom floor is blue glass and underneath it is water; really cool. True story (but I'm warning you now it drags on and is somewhat irrelevant): Back in 1999 at the Comfort Inn on Crescent St in Montreal I got drunk and fell on a sink, shattering the face on my brand-new watch. I was pissed. About a month later I visited the city again and I wore my broken watch. For some reason, and I really don't know why, I made the following statement to my best Italian friend Joe: I broke this watch in Montreal, and Montreal's gonna fix it for me. My buddy asked how exactly I thought that was going to happen, and I didn't know. Well at the Casino de Montreal I was playing roulette and the ball flew off the table and hit me, right in the watch. You could definetely hear it and right away I started yelling at the dealer for breaking my watch. I showed him the cracked crystal and he insisted that the ball couldn't possibly do that but I started going off incoherently about physics and the revolutions per second times the speed of the ball and I continued to yell obsenities at him until he called security. Security then brought me down to customer service who were amazed that a ball could do that to my watch but cut me a check for $200 nonetheless. In my life I have probably seen 1,000 spins and in that time I've only seen 2 balls fly off the table. The chances of the ball hitting me, on my broken watch mind you, in the exact city where I broke my watch and claimed to get it fixed, completely boggles my mind to this day. This is one of many, many reasons why I believe that some controller of the universe really gets a kick out of messing with me.

 | Janus (0) 07/17/2001 | Montreal's casino, rated in the top 10 category of the largest casinos in North America, triggers some nostalgic emotions in native Montrealers. This is because the casino is housed in the renovated American and French pavillions that marked Montreal's hosting of the 1967 Expo world fair. Complete with several floors of gambling space, beautiful views, glass elevators and floors, restaurants and shows, this casino is a sure way to have a great time!
