5 years down...forever to go!

Wendover, NV

Let me explain...
3 years ago, (before we had children), Robert and I went to Wendover, NV with some friends who took care of our hotel and food. (free vacation!!!) i will admit...we gambled a teeny tiny bit playing blackjack.
for our anniversary this year we had NO plans. we wanted to do something, but didn't want to spend money or travel far. a week before our anniversary (March 25th) we got a letter in the mail from Wendover's casino's. They wanted us back, so they gave us 2 free complimentary nights at one of their hotels PLUS $150 in "free play". So, we decided to take their generous offer.
We could use the $150 "free play" money in slot machines and only keep the WINNINGS off of it. We played the system and cashed out everytime we made money. We played the slot machines (or acted like we knew what we were doing like the rest of the 65 year olds there) and we made $90 dollars!
So, we went to Wendover, NV because of the 2 free nights and made $90 without gambling a dime of our own money!
Not bad!

While we were there, we also enjoyed the pool and hot tubs and of course...the buffet!
