I have been to Hollywood Casino on two separate occasions to watch a comedy act. The venue is large enough to be fun, yet small enough to be much more intimate than most larger venues. True to form, you have to walk the gauntlet of slot machines and gaming tables in order to get to the venue. But, that's okay, it just adds to the excitement. I've never had trouble finding a parking spot, but their lot is quite large and has multiple levels. Don't forget to remind yourself where you parked!
