Unemployment, Day 66

I ran some errands today and got ready to leave town for a few days. I reserved a suite at Spirit Mountain Casino for Travis and I. He doesn't have any classes on Tuesdays, so I figured we should spend a day and have some fun, while I don't have the complication of having a job.

As soon as he got home from school, we hit the road.

We made it to the Casino around 2:45 PM on Monday afternoon. We checked in to the membership club, and then wandered over to the lodge and got all checked in.

Nice suite. Two televisions, and two bathrooms. I think the suite was larger than one of the houses I lived in when I first moved to Portland.

We spent some time gambling, only at the video slot machines though. Travis was interested in the roulette table, but we stuck with the video machines.

I have a specific system, since I only gamble for entertainment. I managed to play a decent video game, and when it was all said and done I wound up having $104 that I cashed out with. Not a bad haul for having spent 20 hours at the casino.

Mind you, we didn't spend all that time gambling. It was nice to have a room where we could wander off to and have some down / quiet time.

The buffet has been much changed and improved from last time. Travis and I ate too much, of course, and I went back for a second set of desserts.
