Okay, the Casino

The day we after we arrived I found had a message on my cell phone from Mom; she wanted to give me directions to the Jeopardy slots machines (they’re near the bus entrance, in case you want to try them out).

That is not me, and I did not blow on any dice

Yes, I found them, and yes, I played. And yes, I won! I totally get the draw of gambling; I won $134.25 from 20 bucks, although Mom and I split the winnings. That whole something for nothing, it is very appealing, no?

I like to call this "The Aliens Lounge"

The dings and dongs went off as soon as I hit the big square button that provided me with my hard, unearned cash. I was a little alarmed with all the noise, because I am a dope when it comes to standard gambling notifications, so I turned to my boyfriend and asked him what I should do. “Cash out,” was his immediate reply. And so, I took my little slip of paper, went to the cash window, and exchanged it for actual money (and a bright “Congratulations!” from the cashier). I wandered around in a glow all that day, knowing that could I buy anything I wanted, as long as it was sixty dollars or less. NOW I know why they have 30 stores, and 15 restaurants: you want to spend it as soon as you win it!

What Else?

Mohegan Sun seems to offer something for everyone, and seems to make all of its customers, both hotel and casino, feel at home. For instance, you can rent a scooter while there; I saw an elderly man with an oxygen tank zipping around in one, and his wife in a matching one zipping after him. I think Mohegan Sun has engineered the toilet seats to accommodate the bigger buttocks that a lot of Americans are hauling around these days. I practically fell in! With the seat down!

There are a lot of staff on hand, and a “Lost Customer” booth or two. The casinos themselves are round(ish), so you never really end up at the end, you know?

Final Answer

I am going to get another lucky twenty dollar bill from my mother and come back!
