We're back and it was more than what we had imagined. Again, this is a trip of a lifetime and once you're there you don't want to come back. When I get time I'll right up the SWAG that filled those two giant rolling duffle bags to overflowing. Hint. Bring an empty backpack carry on. If you don't and you're 5 pounds over, Delta will charge you a hundred bucks. It's full RFB, with NO TIPPING!!! I'd give it 5 Stars for the Food, Activities, and Staff which is 2 to 1 guest. Poker and Blackjack tournaments every evening with professional dealers. Believe it or not, both Champions, were first time players. Pennsylvania residents were over represented in the makeup of the group, so if you're from PA get signed up. It could be your lucky day. All the activities have a training and safety class beforehand and you will be well equipped to handle anything they throw your way. In closing I'll share something about the food and beverages. All the baked goods are prepared in house, and made fresh everyday. The prime rib is in fact Black Angus PRIME RIB. The brisket is cooked low and slow for about 18 hours and will melt in your mouth. The Baby Back Ribs are slow smoked and will fall off the bone with a little tug. The do offer some vegetarian dishes as well. Everything is served buffet style and it's all you can eat. If you go, you need to try the homemade pickles. Unbelievable. As for the booze, it's ALL TOP SHELF, and you can drink all you want, one beer or mixed drink at a time. NO SHOTS. If you get too obnoxious you will be cut off. The security department is formidable, and after a stern talking to, was able to convince the giant of our group to tone it down. BTW, he's a great guy, and reminded me of Mongo from Blazing Saddles, only bigger, badder, and stronger.
I'm done for now, have to go rest up. We got our money's worth. If you have any questions ask away.

I hope everyone here who enters wins this trip.

"Don't know why I was talked to by the security staff; Mongo only pawn in game of life." RIP Alex Karas.
Like Bill, I'm glad you had a great trip CK.
