Overnight at the Casino

Mary got another one of her free rooms at the casino hotel so she, Faye and I took advantage of it. People like us who love going to the casino anyway consider ourselves lucky when we get these freebies. The room was lovely...2 huge bedrooms/1 bathroom with free indoor parking. The casino hotel was full so we were put up in the Hilton which was right across the road from the casino.

We decided to try the old casino first because none of us had been there since it was remodelled a few years ago. We spent a couple of hours there before going to our hotel and getting rid of our luggage. Then it was on to Fallsview Casino where I was destined to lose most of my money. But I had a great time doing it.

We went our separate ways in the casino as usual and met up again at 6 P.M. for our freebie dinner. We really lucked out this time because I had coupons for dinner for 2, one for September and one for October, so we'd also be able to use them for breakfast the next morning. I have to say that the buffet meals in the casino diningroom are excellent so we were not only looking forward to playing the slots but also to filling our faces.

We met up again at 9:30, ostensibly to have a glass of wine but didn't feel like it so had a bottle of water instead. Faye had already gone to bed but Mary and I are veteran gamblers so we just went back to the slots. I finally had had enough at 11:30 so went back to the room still holding a bit of my gambling money. Mary came in shortly after with all of her gambling money. She's so lucky.

We all sat up half the night drinking wine or brandy and yakking. Mary and I finally went to bed at 3:30 and we all slept in till 9:30...enough sleep but we were all still tired for the rest of the day.

After another huge meal, breakfast at the casino, we drove across the border and hit a few stores for a few hours. Then back across the border and headed towards home. We stopped at a Tim's for lunch/supper (we do tend to eat a lot, don't we?) and then finally went home.

I love these mini vacations. This one encompassed some things I enjoy the most...the company of good friends, gambling, and cross border shopping. It was great!

By the way, I went to bed at 6:30 P.M. and crawled back out this morning at 6:30 A.M. Having fun can be hard work.

Betting casino online via the Internet is different in many ways from betting to a game table in a Best Betting Casino. Most games offered in a real casino can be played online at any time of day or night. Two things you are wanting to crowd around a hot table, and drinks available. There is no constant background noise of the bells
of slot machines or the excited cries of a winner at the craps table.
