In late September, I ventured on a road trip down to Windsor to see Tears for Fears at the Coliseum at Caesars Windsor.
Tears for Fears had two shows in Ontario. The first was at Casino Rama the night before the duo played in Windsor. Technically, it would have been closer for me to go to Rama, but the seat selection was much better at the Coliseum. I got floor seats -- eight rows from the stage!
My drive over to Windsor took a bit of time, especially through a ton of rain. Luckily, I managed to stop in Waterloo for lunch, and London to check in at my hotel and chill. I then headed over to Caesars Windsor.
I knew that there was a parking lot where you could park and walk over to the casino. It was raining so hard that I decided to line up behind a ton of cars. It was for valet parking.
Normally, I shy away from valet parking because there tends to be a charge associated with it. I looked up the details on my phone as I sat there in the car lineup. Free valet parking as a courtesy is what I had read. Wow! I was impressed.
The woman who handled checking my car in was helpful and friendly. She directed me to where I should go after the show to fetch my car and to the doors that I needed to hit the Coliseum.
I went inside the Coliseum. It's nice. Gorgeous! Naturally, you could buy drinks and hang out.
The show was amazing. I loved being so close up. Everyone around me was into the music. It was an entertaining, memorable time. It was my first time seeing Tears for Fears. I am hoping that it isn't my last!
After the show, I went to the area where you scan your valet ticket, which causes someone to magically fetch your car. Pretty cool!
While waiting for my car, I took the elevator to the top floor of the Coliseum, just to browse. Thanks to my curiosity, I figured out where the merchandise table was! I got a t-shirt and headed back downstairs.
I waited for my car. Naturally, there were a ton of concert folks also waiting for their cars. I would say that nearly half an hour later, my car came from the underground ramp. I could see it from the mirror. It then drove up next to me. I must admit that my car is breathtaking. Even the group standing next to me turned their heads at my car. Yep, it's my electric blue Scion iM and it's a good-looking car!
I thanked the valet driver and tipped her. She wished me a pleasant evening. I did the same.
I had a wonderful experience at Caesars Windsor. The next time I am in Windsor, I will consider staying at the hotel here.
