So, me and a few friends decided to make the trip again. A couple of single guys and 3 married couples. 7 of us played golf, (6 guys and me, [emoji23] love it!)

It's not easy getting to Biloxi from Houston...and not cheap! If we drive, it's about seven hours so we opted to fly...

Since I only lost 1/5th of my budget in Vegas, I decided to come to Foxwoods tonight.

Meeting up with my hairdresser (it's her birthday) and giving her comp tickets to Nick Cannon/Howie Mandel.

Slept 2 winks last night and at the airport waiting for an 8:35AM flight to Nassau, Bahamas.

I booked two rooms at the Royal Tower (one fully comped with $500 FB) and the second at a casino rate, no FB - hopefully I get some of that comped at the back end, but must make sure that I'm rated properly.

Nothing firm planned...

Some quick notes. MLIFE is really nickel and Dimeing its players.

I have to give Kudo's to the Beau Rivage hotel and casino staff.

The room was just average but the hotel and casino staff was spot on. I had Late check in and out with no problem. I have Platinum (Noir) too gated easy access parking.

I was not disturbed in the morning by housekeeping and late checkout was not an issue. I was fully comped for everything with...

I'll start with a few see/do items:

Nevada Museum of Art -- for a town this size, this museum rocks.
Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center -- not the Lowell or OMSI, but a good diversion, particularly for kids.
Reno Aces -- AAA ball in a great stadium right downtown....
