Went to the Isle in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. It's run by Ceasars Harrah's. This is our probably 3rd time to visit. It's actually located on a race track property. There is no hotel. We stayed at the Marriott Ft. Lauderdale North, about 3 miles from the casino. Kind of pricey at $157/night, but that includes a full buffet breakfast. We thought it was pretty good food...scrambled eggs, sausage links, bacon, waffles, hash browns, fruits, pastries.
One reason we went was for the 5X Tier point event. Unfortunately we didn't read the small print that the 5X points were not available on VP! Why I don't know.
Any way, good news is both of us hit Royals on .50 TDBP. Wife hit on hers on her first $20. I hit about an hour later. So that was a nice 4K. We both received jackpot entries for a nice drawing event in Sept.
Next we tried .25 3 Handed X times pay TDBP. After $200, hit one hand with dueces/kicker. Cashed out and move on. Played a little slots but I don't really care for them..as I watched a guy hit for $7K on a slot that played Polka music and had steins of beer as wild..I think! Lol....
Anyway our stay was for one day only so we skedaddled with about $2K profit. Yea, should have quit earlier. But you know how that goes. I guess we'll go back in Sept, for the drawing.
Oh, I also reached Diamond for the first time! Big deal, eh? I didn't know they have 3 Diamond levels...the bastards.....
