I think my prom these was a casino. It was either a casino or a castle; they changed it the day of. My girlfriend and I skipped the prom together and had a great time.
My prom theme was also a casino. I am about as far from a gambler as you can imagine, and I had no problem with it.
Like I said, I'm neutral on it. I don't see a problem with it, but I see why some people do see a problem with it.
JohnnyLongtorso asked what we do for fun. We either go down and watch the Texas Rangers, or we watch their AAA farm club Oklahoma Redhawks. Sometimes, we go to our Arena Football team, Oklahoma City Yard Dawgs. The Central Hockey League and the Oklahoma City Blazers are a big hit with a huge turnpike rivalry with the Tulsa Ice Oilers. We have a mid-size amusement park called Frontier City (who used to own Six Flags) and a mid-size water park, White Water Bay. Not to mention, we have two of the biggest college football rivalries in the country (Oklahoma Sooners vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys (BEDLAM)) and Oklahoma Sooners vs. Texas Shorthorns. Plus, we'll be getting an NBA team this fall so that will only add to the fun. There is also "Bricktown", which is a beautiful scenic section on the east side of Downtown OKC which has a lot of very fine, authentic restaurants and very good shopping. It does have a pretty good night scene and also hosts a huge New Year's Eve celebration called "Opening Night". There is a boat ride people can take down the Oklahoma river, sorta similar to San Antonio's Riverwalk.
For museum and natural history enthusiasts, just about 60 miles west of Oklahoma City in Blaine County near Watonga is Roman Nose State Park with one of the only red rock habitats in the entire world. In far northwest Oklahoma near Freedom, Oklahoma (west of Alva and NNE of Woodward), there is a huge bat cave "Alabaster Caverns". Also, in Waynoka (SW of Alva) there is Little Sahara State Park which has a lot of sand dunes where ATV's can go riding.
In Davis and nearby Sulphur (75 miles south of OKC) there is Arbuckle Wilderness which is a kid-friendly and kid-oriented animal exhibit in the oldest mountain range in the world (The Arbuckle Mountains). Sulphur has a very nice natural spring swimming and camping area. (Water is extremely cold).
There's a whole lot more to Oklahoma City and the State of Oklahoma than meets the eye and I've only scratched the surface of stuff to do in the Sooner State).
