There is talk that the Beau Rivage may soon offer overnight fishing trips to the barge. Out at noon, perhaps, fish until dark, sleep or fish the night away, fish again in the morning, then return to the hotel. That would be seem even better value for visiting anglers, particularly during seasons when first and last light are the most active for the fish. Hamilton said that work is under way also, possibly as soon as next fall, to run duck hunts from the barge. The facility is more than adequate to handle extended trips, either for fishing or hunting.
Business is business, however, and no final decision on either idea has been made.
As an added bonus for fishermen who fare better than I during their stays, several of the restaurants at Beau Rivage will cook the day's catch to order. Recipes and ambience vary from one dining room to the next. The bigger the fish, I guess, the more you might want to dress up for the feast. My luck on the water last week ran about the same as it did at the casino, but I'd roll the fishing dice again with those same guys any time. They're dealing the only game in town where the odds always favor the player.
