You may want to think about one of these choices that are popular with our guests: Boomtown Casino & Hotel New Orleans - 0.2 mi (0.4 km) away. It was a spooky and isolated incident for our stage and audience. Weve got 30 hotels to choose from within 5 miles of Boomtown Casino. We thought it might have been an electrical issue, but without getting into details, the light was on a connected switch with another room’s, and nothing ‘dark’ happened in that other room. But the fact that this happened at the perfect time in front of all those witnesses was epic. We had heard different ghost stories about that building (things moving, seen floating, voices, footsteps, etc.). Everyone was in awe over what had just happened. My fellow comic yelled out from the crowd, “ I think God just gave you ‘The Light’!” (a sign in stand-up that tells the person on stage that their time is up). They were out for about 15 seconds and then came back on.
The bit dealt with religion and Star Wars, and right when I got to the punch line… LIGHTS IN THE ENTIRE ROOM WENT OUT! I was on stage telling jokes, and I was doing one of my bits that I had done many times before. It was at the Laugh Lounge Comedy Club on North 1st Street inside the Yakima Valley Hotel (back in 2014), and I was on stage. One of the funnier and creepier ghost stories I have experienced happened in a room with over 20 others.
