Free Night at the Casino Hotel

Every once in a while the casino offers me a free night stay and tonight's the night. The rooms at the casino are gorgeous and the views from the windows are spectacular. My preference is to leave the drapes open all night so I can occasionally glimpse the falls but my friend, Mary, likes them closed. She wins because I don't really care that much.

Mary and I plan to drive to the hotel this morning, do a bit of shopping in the hotel mall (there's a store where everything is $15), have a leisurely lunch/dinner and then hit the slots until we run out of money. Whoops! I shouldn't have said that because I'm supposed to go with the attitude that I'll win! Mary is very lucky so it's easy for her to have that attitude.

This will be like a mini vacation and I always have a great time when Mary and I are together. We laugh a lot and pretty much enjoy the same things. Tomorrow our plan is to have a leisurely breakfast (again, the stress is on "leisurely") and then hop over to the States and do some more shopping. We're both looking for bargains on Clinique products especially.

I'm looking forward to this little trip. Wish us luck at the slots!
