The Local’s Suck!

Sean and I went up to Midway last night. We’ve been itching to get to a casino ever since we left Atlantic City back in April. We probably should have just taken the free rooms available up in Harrah’s and completely avoided this place. I don’t know what it is about local casinos but they all seem to really suck. I know that Alantic City has a decent pay out considering how much money I’ve made there. I refuse to go to ones on Indian reservations because you never win anything there, I don’t care who you are – the pay out in a place like Mohegan Sun up in Connecticut is not going to be anywhere near what a typical payout is in Atlantic City. On average you hear machines going off with $3,000+ coming your way, this is the place to be.

With how messed up our schedule is at the moment, we didn’t leave the house until about 2am but note that we’d been up for about 8 hours at that point. After a 45 minute drive we arrived to find a really empty parking lot and what looked to be a little shack in the middle of no where. It’s only really lit up on the one side so you don’t see much going on behind it. It was no where near as large as the casinos I’m used to going to. The commercials tell me that you win more frequently and to a point this is true, I managed to make $20 last for a very long time. I just don’t consider breaking even to be a reasonable pay out – you know?

I’ve been rummaging around the house trying to locate my total rewards card so I can log into my Harrah’s account and find out what I have available. I think we’re going to take a trip up there after his birthday and sometime before mine so that we can have some kind of a vacation. I know he has four days free, I’m sure I have the same. A week with a free room? I’ll take it.
