Route 66 Ribbon Road
A stretch of original Route 66 in use from 1921-1937 south of Miami is paved only nine feet wide. This segment predates US 66 itself (1926) as it was earlier part of an existing state highway.
18 hole, par 72, slope 127, rating 74.1.
Gaming, dining and sports bar.
Popular Route 66 retro burger joint, the last location of what was a once-popular 200-store Midwest fast food chain in the 1960s. Food is made-to-order (owner Eugene Waylan usually mans the grill personally) and takes a bit longer to prepare than standard fast-food fare. Ask to hold the ice for fountain drinks, as there is a tendency to put too much ice in and a charge (about $0.27) for refills.
Includes Internet, coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave, breakfast. Business facilities and ten-seat executive boardroom, exercise room, indoor pool. Adjacent to namesake casino and restaurants (Joe's Outback Casino, Coleman House Restaurant, Joe's Grill).
Such a nice indoor pool area, with hot tub. Little waffle maker in the breakfast room.
Indoor pool and hot tub here as well.
By car, Miami may be reached by old US 66, US Route 69 or Interstate 44.
