BINION'S

I'VE BLOGGED ABOUT BINION'S CASINO BEFORE. IT'S AN INTERESTING AND HISTORICAL LAS VEGAS CASINO.

WHEN WE WERE AT "VEGAS 80" WE LEARNED THAT WHEN YOU FIRST SIGN UP FOR A PLAYER'S CARD, BINION'S GIVES YOU $10 IN FREE SLOT PLAY. IN OUR GROUP MARY AND AUNT KATHY STOOD IN LINE AND SIGNED UP. WE ALL GATHERED TO WATCH MARY BLOW HER $10 IN JUST A FEW SHORT SPINS, OH WELL IT WAS FREE. AUNT KATHY ON THE OTHER HAND ENJOYED A HALF AN HOUR OF FREE PLAY ON A PENNY SLOT MACHINE.

WHILE WE WERE IN VEGAS, ENJOYING MARY'S BIRTHDAY, I SIGNED UP FOR A BINION'S PLAYER'S CLUB CARD AND PLAYED MY FREE $10 ON A VIDEO TYPE, PENNY SLOT MACHINE. I WAS BETTING $1.80 PER SPIN. AFTER A FEW SPINS THE SCREEN CHANGED TO SIX FREE BONUS SPINS. THE VIDEO DISPLAY SHOWED MINI-EXPLOSIONS, LIGHTENING BOLTS AND ASSORTED OTHER ENTERTAINING GRAPHICS.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE SLOT MACHINE PRINTED ME A WINNING VOUCHER FOR $101.00 !!!! WAY COOL, NOW WHERE IS THE NEAREST CRAPS TABLE?

BOTTOM BOTTOM LINE? BETWEEN THE MAGIC PENNY SLOT MACHINE AND A GOOD ROLL ON THE CRAPS TABLE, WE COVERED ALL OUR ENTERTAINMENT EXPENSES.

WISH I COULD SAY THE SAME ABOUT ALL OF MARY'S SHOPPING EXPENSE.
