Ka-Ching

The Borgata...... it is a beautiful hotel, but the shining gold building is a bit removed from the rest of the properties in AC. With reason. It is definitely a major step up from them. It is very elegant with beautiful touches throughout. I was a little reticent about spending $20 for lunch - (afterall it takes away from my slot fund), but after walking into the restaurant..... the doubt disappeared. What a fantastic display of gourmet delights. Of course, I was immediately drawn to the dessert section. The treats were magnificent in presentation and taste.

By the end of the day, like a lot of people we were tired and our wallets were somewhat lighter than when we arrived. After a very long day, I wanted to make a quick stop into Showboat - I used to like their casino. We scoped the room for a while looking for a specific type of machine.. we found them, but ran into too many rude crazy ladies and left - so instead of just leaving to go home, we went next door to the Taj for a final fling. We found the machine we were looking for - and two together! We sat down, put in our bills and played for a few minutes - winning a losing little bits at a time. And then...... ka-ching. I looked up and thought I had won 60 quarters ($15) which would have been nice.... I seemed to have missed the extra zero. I won 600 quarters :-) ($150). NICE! All in all between the gas, tolls, snacks and lunch - I came out about $80 ahead..... Not a bad day out! I made some money and spent a lovely day with a wonderful friend.
