Aweseome place, I would be a member if it were a little closer to me (it's about a 40 minute ride).

My understanding is as long as you spend $250 a month on merchandise, it's free.

I believe you are right, purchases count towards your membership fee.

If I lived closer. I could just buy 4 XiKar lighters a month and sell them on eBay to subsidize my membership.

I guess I used my "one time" free pass, or I'd join you.

I drove down from Northbrook, and it was worth it.

Thanks for posting the pics Brad! I will be driving through Chicago next month and was on the fence on whether to go there or not. It will be in my vacation plans now.

This place is great. We've done a bunch of videos of events here.

one of the best ones to get the feel of the place is this one we did with JD. He takes you on a tour.

Check it out if you have time and want to see more of casa
