One Day Trip Report

Went to Soaring Eagle in N MI on Tue night
because my wife wanted a spa day. She had
a free night and a coupon and comps for a
free spa. Soaring Eagle is a huge resort
casino in Mt Pleasant.

I had the one hour massage while she got the
spa treatment. Left me limp as a wet noodle.
Spent an hour in the pool and 20min in the
120 degree whirlpool with a bunch of other
guests. Took a nap and went down to play
roulette. Took me an hour to hit my 10 unit
goal on the single zero wheel. I believe this
is the only single zero wheel in the US outside
Vegas and AC.

We ate at the buffet, the prime rib was super.
They have a lot of Chinese food too, so I took
three fat egg rolls and wrapped them in a
napkin for later. My wife was horrified at this
(she's easily horrified) and she didn't even see
me do it. I rolled them in a napkin, and walked
out with them in full view. So what, I ate them
on hotel property, what's the difference.

Changed back into swim trunks and went to
the outdoor hot tub. It was 10 below zero
on Tue night and there were just a few of us
out there. It was exhilarating and great fun.

Back to the room for vodka and a movie and
fat egg rolls. The best part was, I only had
to see my wife during dinner. Never saw her
the rest of the time. She got in at 2:30 am
and I was asleep. And yup, I don't have a players
card, and yup it was all on her card. This was
all comped. Does that make me a hypocrite?
I certainly don't care..

Soaring Eagle is as nice as any casino on the Strip.
And since it's a college town, and the gambling
age is 18, it's an old mans eye candy palace.

I still remember the days when you admired
young women in person and not all alone
with just a screen.

Like talking to people in person as well.

I guess, but too close ruins the screen illusion or internet disorder... the playboy thing of making a pursuit of finding the perfect women.

However, in practical terms, the song, "She just looks pretty."

I don't know if it makes you a hipocrite but I don't understand why not just get a players card and enjoy the free stuff while playing the same anyways. It's not like it costs you anything to do so.

Because I don't want them following my play
and I don't want their comps anyway.

I understand not wanting them tracking you, but you obviously want their comps since you used them. Either wsy, I understand your reasoning.

It was my wifes comps. And I went because
I had no choice, ever been married?

If you're playing roulette why are you afraid of them following your play? LOL

Lol yeah I am married. Game set match

When I first started going to casinos in any real frequency, I was also determined not to use a player's card. It seemed like a big privacy issue with people who were not tops on my list of presumed accountability. And I figured, correctly really, that for the most part I wasn't going to get much.

I still don't think anyone is "crazy" not to get a player's card. Crazy to gamble enough to ever get much back, maybe ... LOL

But I think it is overall worth it. A few reasons:

*without ever giving you any assurances, these outfits seem to be ready to keep your info private. A very big thing with me, no one ever calls on the phone hustling me , not from where I've played and not from anyone else [no one seems to sell the info]

*sometimes the comps surprise me. I have been over-comped in my day, where my theoretical was half of indisputable cash back value [not just meals or discounts at stores]

*since I live a good ways away from any casino, there's a chance they might take that into consideration when mailing you stuff.

*almost always there is something when you first sign up
