Completely Comped

Over the weekend, Beezy and I stayed at the Thunder Valley Hotel and Casino.

We've both been there before to hang out and gamble but we've always went home at the end of the night. When he got a letter in the mail telling him that he had a completely free stay thanks to him MGM points we jumped on the opportunity. The parking. The King Suite. 50% off the buffet and 35.00 dollars in slot play. All included. Who wouldn't take them up on that offer?

When we got to the room we were pleasantly surprised to see how much space we had. The room had a large, marble bathroom. A huge glass stand in shower with a rainfall head, a huge soaking tub and great freebies!

Beezys favorite part about the room...

He wants a Keurig pretty bad! Maybe Santa will bring him one this Christmas season? We shall see! I think if he would have taken the time to put one on he would have liked the terry cloth rob they had for us.

Sadly, the pool was closed the night we were there. The hotel had a private event taking place and it was closed off. Granted, the hotel did make us aware of that fact before we booked our night. The pool looked really nice though so maybe there will be another time we can swim in it.

We had planned on getting up in the morning and going to the pool but it was a little overcast and chilly with the wind. Before we left we even won a little money! If you're in Lincoln, California visit the casino and hotel. It's got everything from table games to penny slots. They have room service, they have theme night buffets, the pool and did I mention cave man keno?! Go! Have fun!

Weekend Review

I had another four day weekend and I couldn't have been happier about having that extra day off work. I originally had plans to head over San Francisco and spend the day bumming around town. When those plans fell through, I thought about going to Napa or South Lake Tahoe but I couldn't make up my mind and just ended up staying in Sac. I spent my days off relaxing and trying to stay cool in the heat. I also did a little shopping.

I saw this dress and couldn't pass it up. It reminded me of the newspaper dress that Carrie wore in Sex and the City. I have no idea when I'll wear it but guess what... it's in my closet waiting for the perfect moment.

I also hit up the Thunder Valley Casino for the first time. It's literally 15 minutes from my house but I had never taken the time to go over to it. It was fun! If you're ever in Lincoln then it's worth the stop. They also have a lot of outdoor concerts so check their schedule! You may find something that you want to see. They had Smash Mouth and Fastball there the night I went. Chris Issak is playing in August and Kathy Griffin is in September.

I'm not sold on their table games but it was definitely a fun place for slot machines. Now only if I would have won a huge amount of money so I wouldn't have to go to work. While I was there gambling and having fun my BFF Erica who lives in South Carolina was out having a little fun of her own. As you can see in this text, she may have had a little too much fun! Haha! 

That's what best friends are for! They put a smile on your face. The next day I headed to the California State Fair! I mean who doesn't love fairs and the food that comes along with it?!

Now the real question is... what did you do this weekend?
