SUNDAY/MONDAY

SUNDAY AND MONDAY ARE OUR USUAL DAYS OFF, AND YOU CAN’T GO TO VEGAS EVERY WEEK-END.  LAST WEEK-END WITH HANS AND RENEE WAS SURE A BLAST ON FREMONT STREET DOWNTOWN.

ONE E-MAIL WE RECEIVED COMMENTED ON HOW THERE ARE NOTHING BUT BIG SMILES ON THOSE BLOG ENTRIES.  WE GOT A CALL FROM TODD AND DI, WHO MISSED THEIR ANNUAL TRIP TO LAUGHLIN LAST YEAR, SAYING THAT IT WAS CHEAPER TO FLY TO VEGAS AND STAY DOWNTOWN THAN IT WAS TO FLY TO LAUGHLIN.

LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER TRIP DOWNTOWN VEGAS IS IN OUR FUTURE AFTER THE HOLIDAYS !!!  CAN’T WAIT !!!

AT WORK, MARY AND I WERE SELECTED TO DEAL THE “SURRENDER YOUR BOOTY” BLACKJACK TOURNAMENT .  A SPECIAL TOURNAMENT FOR OUR REGULAR PLAYERS AND HIGH ROLLERS.  THEY PLAYED SLOTS, VIDEO POKER, AND THEN BLACKJACK.  THEIR TOTAL POINTS WERE ADDED UP AND PAYOUTS WERE MADE TO THE TOP TEN PLAYERS.

THE DEALERS FOR THE TOURNY WERE ALL DRESSED IN BLACK T-SHIRTS WITH A PIRATE THEME.  THE TOURNAMENT RAN FROM 1 PM TO 7 PM AND THEN, A BY THE POOL PARTY AFTER.  IT WAS GREAT FUN AND MANY OF THE PLAYERS WERE SLOT PLAYERS AND HAD NEVER PLAYED BLACKJACK BEFORE.

BESIDES ALL THE FUN, DECORATIONS, FOOD, AND COSTUMES WE WERE DONE WORK AT 8:00 PM ON A SATURDAY NIGHT.

NO PACKER GAME BUT BRETT FAVRE AND THE VIKINGS WERE PLAYING SUNDAY MORNING AT 10 AM (NV TIME) AND THIS WEEK WE WERE OFF TO THE RIVERSIDE CASINO TO WATCH THE GAME.

THE RIVERSIDE SETS UP 10 TV’S IN THEIR COCKTAIL LOUNGE FOR VIEWING THE SUNDAY FOOTBALL GAMES.

THE FAVRE MAGIC IS STILL THERE AND SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS A VIKING FAN.  MANY IN THE ROOM HAD ON THE PURPLE #4 JERSEY WHICH LOOKS REALLY UGLY TO ME, BUT …..

“LOSERS’ LOUNGE” IS THE NAME OF THIS COCKTAIL LOUNGE, AND THAT NAME, IN A CASINO, JUST CRACKS ME UP.

 

STILL CAMPING AND COOKING

MARY AND I TAKE THE CAMPING LIFE FOR GRANTED, AND SOMETIMES A DAY “OFF” IN CAMP JUST COMES AND GOES LIKE ANY OTHER DAY.  WE BOTH STILL ENJOY THE LIFE STYLE AND SUNDAY INCLUDED A COOK-OUT AFTER THE FOOTBALL GAMES.

HERE I’M FIRING UP THE VOLCANO AND DUTCH OVEN TO MAKE MARY’S AWARD WINNING SOUR CREAM APPLE PIE.

WE LOVE IT WHEN SAFEWAY OR SMITH’S OR HAS THE 8 OZ LOBSTER TAILS ON SALE, REGULAR PRICE $13 ON SALE FOR $6 OR $7, AND PICK UP A PACKAGE OF THOSE LITTLE BACON WRAPPED FILLETS AT WALMART.  FOR LESS THAN $20 WE BOTH ENJOY STEAK AND LOBSTER.

FOOTBALL – CAMPING – COOK-OUT, WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THAT FOR A DAY “OFF”?

YUP, YOU GUESSED IT …..
