Last week the postman delivered a couple of pieces of mail to me and my wife. They were coupons to the casino in Black River Falls for some kind of a grand opening gimic celebrating their new hotel addition and remodeling project. I suppose we got on the mailing list because of a visit last year during a bike ride where we had joined the players club and got maybe ten or twenty dollars free play each. This time around it was $150 each and a free nights stay. I guess that's the magic number that will draw people in because the place was packed.
The room was really nice. Very modern, plenty big and almost completely clean. We elected to do the buffet right in the casino only because they didn't offer anything fancier than that. The food turned out to be ok and I suppose it ranked as being deserving of another visit. Afterwards we headed to the gaming floor where managed to make a little of our own money by using theirs.
I'm writing this Saturday night in that hotel room during a break from the slot machines. I brought my own beer and we ran back here for a refill. Ya I know that sounds cheap but because the casino was putting us up we decided to see how much fun we could have without making any major contributions to the funding of their remodeling project. Besides, I already had enough green beer for the night and it was time to get back to my usual swill and at their pricing I could buy a six pack for every two cans purchased at the bar.
We later returned to the gaming floor where we enjoyed some live music and were able to play on their dime for the rest of the night.
I'd say we had a pretty good time considering we didn't have any other plans for the night although it's unlikely we'd do it again if we were funding the adventure.
Later.
