Just a short report. Full pay BP @ the bar, 2100 hands on a dollar machine +60 bucks. The full pay bonus poker progressive machines are the second best in the house.
They have JOB on the second floor but they were running a fun little game on the first floor. Every so often a little slot machine comes up on the small screen, the top ten scores of the day win between 5 grand and 100 bucks. I won 100 and didn't know until it showed up on my card. Adds a bit of fun during the grind.
We went to the Pat Benatar concert. First rate show. No fancy stuff, no marketing non-sense, just four very talented folks cranking out no BS Rock-n-Roll. Among the best shows I've seen. This was opening night of a tour that goes on most of the summer. Put it on your calendar. Pat is as good and maybe even better than ever. Neil Giraldo rocks.
If you're in Biloxi, try the Half Shell Oyster House. They're a bit too proud of it but they have the best grilled oysters anywhere.

Saw Benatar/Giraldo years ago and you're right, he rocks!
Were they alone or did the Doobie Brothers perform?

They were alone. Several tour dates are with Rick Springfield and several others include Cher.

Ah, they are really dredging up some old ones! If I have this correctly they will appear at TR with the Doobies.

I am so jealous.
Any details? I assume she sang "Heartbreaker" and the other well-known hits (Hell is for Children, Shadows of the Night, We Belong), but what else?

They finished with Heartbreaker. It was mostly greatest hits, about an hour fourty five worth. Highly recommended.

Yeah, this should have been in the Biloxi Casino section.
Anyway - Half Shell Oyster house still does a good job. They opened one up here in Mobile and have the best bartenders in town.

That section didn't exist a year ago, but I've moved it now for reference. Thanks for the update!
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.
