A "Royal" Trip to Ca-na-da

Decided to make a weekend trip to Caesars Windsor. Sarah Silverman was playing the 5000 seat Coliseum, but the $ 35 CDN tickets were way in the back, and after all the taxes and whatever, were actually $ 50-something. And this was directly through the box-office, not Ticketmaster. So we'll have to watch Sarah's special on HBOnow.
The drive went smoothly. We stopped at another Casino on the way for Mrs. Q to pick up some freeplay (and were able to repeat that on the way home !).
The rooms at Caesars Windsor are large, comfortable, and quiet. Very Nice. Very nice parking garage.
Diamond Celebration dinner at Nero's was also nice. They didn't have any reservation openings, so a good TIP is if there is a big show , just get there a few minutes before they open and sit at the bar. Easy. What I didn't know and what seemed kind of odd was that the voucher didn't cover alcohol. Hmmmm. Well, now I know. I admit that I didn't read the terms and conditions on the little piece of paper.
So, Gambling. I did pretty well at blackjack, and played 8/5 Jacks or Better instead of the Pickem game they have there. Maybe next time. Regardless, I was happy with our results:
Me:
Dealt a pat flush but of course discarded that card to go for the RF:
Mrs. Q doesn't play a whole lot of VP anymore, but she did ok too. It didn't matter that she is a little out of practice on strategy:
We'll be telling that gambling story for a while !

There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

Ask around next time you might be able to obtain free show tickets
Against the law to comp alcohol in Ontario.
The hotel is much better now that they limit the coolers going into the rooms ( by the younger guests at least)

2 Royals, and bottom line for IBYA's tinfoil conspiracy =).
I've never seen a dealt royal, but it sure sounds pretty awesome! lol Congrats on the hits and what sounds like a fun/profitable trip.

Thanks, Romes.
IBYA ?
It would be nice if they had a better paytable for JoB, but that's the best I saw. In fact, it looked to me like the 1 $ JoB was set to 7/5. Only in Canada, eh ? Rooms are nice there. A good weekend getaway and a chance to use up the Diamond Celebration voucher.
Cheap Trick will be there March 24th, but I have a previous commitment in VEGAS that day !
