An uncommon cruise

Neat story from the Chicago Tribune about a cruising riverboat:

For a few hours Wednesday morning, a riverboat casino that’s been moored on the banks of the Illinois River will head for open water.The Par-A-Dice Riverboat Casino hasn’t sailed in 11 years.

But casino owner Boyd Gaming Corp. plans a three-hour cruise to comply with new U.S. Coast Guard requirements.

Neat that after 11 years they can still fire up the engines and go cruising.

This is the perfect set-up for my idea of an entertaining TV series: Lost meets Casino.
