Showboat's Turn

I%26#39;ve been alternating play between Showboat and the Borgata this year, and this past weekend was Showboat%26#39;s turn. We started out at the Borgata to see Mary J. Blige on Friday night and partake of their always enjoyable buffet. We then checked in at Showboat and I began my Quest for the Royal Flush. As is my custom, I began play at midnight. First I hit for 4 deuces ($1000), parlayed that into $2000 with 4 Aces and the kicker, and then parlayed even further with 5OAK for $4 K. I took the checks back to the room and put them on the bathroom vanity so Jim would be sure to see them when he got up (he did :)

We enjoyed breakfast in the room and I slept the entire day while Jim did his usual 1,000 mile run. We redeemed our ';green rewards'; for an apparently high quality 100 foot garden hose (it was Jim%26#39;s turn to pick the gift - can you tell?), then I picked up my iPod Touch and we were off to a great show by Chrisette Michelle at HOB. After a late dinner at HOB,I went back ';to work.'; I started out on slots, which I play when I am tired or as a break from VP. I dabbled here and there with Cleo and Quick Hits for a couple of hours with my stake intact. Then it was on to VP. I was dealt a straight flush on Joker Poker for $1500. On my way back to the room I put a twenty into the triple play progressive and hit 5OAK for another grand just as the guys were coming around to change out the coin boxes at 6 am.

Sunday we had another room service breakfast and then checked out at 2. Of course, I got my lucky bamboo plant! It%26#39;s quite nice - but needless to say, many were complaining that there was no bag to carry it in. blah blah blah. Nobody said you had to take it, right? Anyway, it was funny to see the entire casino decorated with bamboo plants on every slot machine chair - brought back memories of the Hilton%26#39;s frozen turkey giveaway :)

Next stop is Harrahs New Orleans for my 7 Stars trip. You all will have to keep AC company for me until I get back!

Have a lucky week - even if you didn%26#39;t get the bagless bamboo plant!

Showboat's Turn

Thanks for the fun report as usual. We enjoy Showboat, and the Borg is still trying to assimilate us too. I think we will be going to the Boat and Borg soon to put back some of what you’ve won so they don’t go bankrupt. Good luck in NOLA! Check out the Preservation Hall if you have not been there yet. It’s not a long walk in the French Quarter from Harrah’s
