Thanks to my friend Sue, hubby and I were treated to a weekend at Spirit Mountain Casino. She and her husband are TrailBlazer season ticket holders and apparently when it came time to renew their seats for this season, a coupon was enclosed with their tickets for a nights lodging at Spirit Mountain Hotel, a $100 meal voucher, plus $100 in casino cash. She brought it into school one day and said, "Do you think you would use this? We don't gamble and I remember you saying that you liked to" . . . hello? does it rain in Oregon? . . "YES, of course I would use it if you don't plan on it!!, Yay!!" So we stayed overnight at their hotel, VERY nice I might add. We attempted to spend all of the $100 meal voucher, but couldn't. That's a ton of food, the best we could do was $60, and that was NY steak, seafood fetticine, creme brulee and strawberry cheesecake (can you say, burp . . off the diet?). When we went into the casino we cashed the $100 voucher $50 went to hubby and I took the remaining $50, then off we go (we never gamble together, we always separate, then meet up later). I did play on a couple of new machines that were really fun . . besides the Village People one. There is one themed after the Wizard of OZ. . . "This is the great and powerful OZ!" comes booming from the machine. Lots of bonuses, bells and whistles.
Then there is another new machine called Star Trek Slots, where you sit in a chair that is a part of the slot game, it vibrates, shakes, has speakers behind your head, it's almost like a Disney ride! People were 3-4 deep behind the seats waiting for others to get up and leave them after playing. And of course that is the other music stuck in my head . . wuuuuuhoooooowuuuuuhooohoowuuuuuhooooohooohoooo. Sorry, not quite sure how to type it but you know that Star Trek trailer music!!
Happy to say, after staying there and playing lots of slots, I left with my $50 in my pocket, can't say the same for hubby. Maybe next time!!
