A shortlist is a curated set of venues for one visitor situation — famous floors, poker rooms, free parking, downtown walks. Each shortlist is its own page with an explicit ranking rule, not a dump of every licence row.

Start with a shortlist that matches the night — first-timer, poker, downtown, free parking — then open two or three profiles for hours, parking and floor size. Use filters on a shortlist page to narrow further.

We refresh registry-backed inventory when new official reports land, and re-check operator facts on a desk schedule. Each profile shows when a field was last verified.

Free parking means our visit block records free self-park as published. Fees and validation rules can change — confirm on site or on the operator’s page before you drive in.
