TAJ TRIP

[BOOPSAHOY]

We decided to go down Friday night to hopefully miss the worst of the storm-the 150 combined bonus cash helped us with our decision. It poured all the way down but the wind wasnt too bad and there really wasnt any traffic-got there in the minimum time-2 hr 15 minutes.
 
Of course we said wed play just our cashback and bonus cash but we got carried away and used some of our bankroll. Played that Taj version of dollar White Hot Aces. Didnt get any 4trees at all-yuck.
 
Went up to the room, roomservice-shared ceasar salad and grilled salmon and fruit plate and watched the wrestler. Enjoyed it even though I was convinced I wouldnt! Mickey Rourke was quite good in it as was Marissa Tomei. 
 
Neither of us could sleep so we were up and out by 7AM.  Decided to hit those $1 WHA impersonator games in the Sultans Palace again. Horrid! We got 3 4trees (1 dealt to us) all the smaller ones-no 2s 3s 4s or aces. Not good. I will say they do give a lot of play but you still cant exist without the larger 4 trees! Bankroll is dwindling.
 
We go to the Chairmans club for breakfast-we are both trying to lose weight-hubby to control his waist size and his blood pressure and me to control my waist size and to lose what I gained quitting cigs (oh how I miss them but I havent slipped in 2 months)-so we had cereal with skim milk and fruit.-how boring when they had all those different fish-lox, whitefish, sable etc cream cheese bagels-SIGH
 
So now we try STP .50 2 lines deuces wild. Weve done pretty good on this in the past--nothing. Back to Sultans Palace-nothing. OK now its time for BBQ Bingo-7 bingogames $1000 prize for each with the 8th game fullcard $3000 and hamburgers and franks and potato salad and mac salad-oh yeh real good for the diets LOL We didnt win anything. Went back on the floor and played single line .25 AC JW. We did OK on this -hubby got quite a few 4trees and I got 2 straight flushes so when we stopped playing we had more money then we started with there.
 
Now its 6PM time for my pick 2 gifts give away-they had an expensive Knife Set (no thanks ) a room humidifier-sony headphones-a juicer and a cappucino-espresso-coffee maker which I took 2 of.
 
Now its 8PM and time for comped Donna Summer concert-comp included 4 free drinks! Seats were 1st row slightly to the side-FANTASTIC! Donna was awesome-I swear she sounds better now than she did in the 80s! Shes still a diva and changed outfits 4 times and sang EVERY SINGLE HIT! Even my hubby (ugh a concert ugh) LOVED it!
 
Of course now we are a little drunk so we proceed to lose more money that we shouldnt! But we were so revved up! Then we went to one of the quick food places and got a sandwich and a chef salad to bring to the room Watched A Night In the Museum 2-for around 1/2 hr and then we crashed. Watched the end in the AM while having rooms ervice and got the heck out of dodge BIG LOSERS. Had agreat time though and the taj really outdid itself wth all the givaways concert etc.
 
Were returning to the scene of the crime next weekend and if its not a winning trip October will be AC-less! SOB!
 
Im editing this to add we had 3 tries at 4 to a Royal (dollars) and 4 tries at 4 to a 5tree on ACJW (.25) and 4 tries at 3 Aces in WHA (dollars). None connected

  I want to see "The Wrestler" too Boops and I'm using your review as my guide. Its too bad you and your hubby didn't hit anything big but it sounds like your trip was loads of fun. I checked for rooms in AC today for next weekend, all booked up. I haven't been to AC in years and would have enjoyed meeting faygo and Tanqueray and once I saw you were going to be there again all we would have needed was Eduardo. He could have brought his sombrero out on to the boardwalk.
 
  Good luck next weekend, I might head down to Tunica. Ted.
