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

$250 per month, Michael.

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.

never_enough · 04-16-2012, 05:51 PM

Wow that place looks amazing. I could hang out there every day.

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.

A buddy of mine was cruising through on business and stopped in. Said it was awesome, and after seeing the pics, I couldn't agree more!

danreeve · 04-16-2012, 08:10 PM

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
