Currently, I am given a top floor suite and beleive it or not, it is as nice or nicer than any suite I ever stayed(lived) in Vegas.(Venetian and Mandalay which gave me,single guy, one of the honeymoon suites-WTF)..............I avoid the casino on Friday and Saturday nights during peak hours due to the demograhics of the patrons (to be politically correct).

I haven't been back to Biloxi since Katrina, but as we're comped (nothing like suites and free charter flights LOL) in Tunica, we keep going back. I hate the drive -- 6 hours, half of that on 2 lanes thru small towns. Someday I'll go to Vegas, but for our regular quarterly gambling trips, I'll stick w/Tunica. I hate Harrah's as we could never generate enough playthrough at our level to make it worth our while. MGM screwed us over when they took over our 'home' casino, the GoldStrike, and we have moved our primary play over to Sam's Town and their 9/6 Jacks. Play that earned us 1 or 2 free weeknights each at the GS under MGM, now brings us 3 nights each (mine are 'any' nights) at Sam's -- we try to stick with weeknights, too. (Positively HATE Fri/Sat in T-town.)
We try to skip trips during the worst of the mosquito season, and I wear long sleeves and pants while there anyway as I freeze inside the casinos.
I so wish there were B&M casinos nearer, though. I love the sights and sounds and smells of the 'real' casino experience (especially since I don't play online now
).

I visit this thread so rarely.... Makes me remember way back when.... I'm enjoying the screenies folks.
Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people.
The Cat: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
