Thursday 10-12 Where are we?

Where are we?

We started the day in Nebraska, then we crossed the Missouri River and we were in Iowa. We traveled south through Iowa to Omaha, but we didn't get back into Nebraska until we were well south of  Omaha. We then entered back into Nebraska and from there we went Kansas.

Larry drove 230 miles today for about four and a half hours. We stopped at the Golden Eagle Casino near Holton, Kansas. When we entered the casino the security guard opened the door for us and asked if we had been there before, we told him no. He told us if we went to the players club area we could sign up for a card and the casino would give us $25.00 on the card to gamble with. After signing up Larry left me in the casino so I could gamble for a couple of hours. The casino was small but it was very clean and well kept. There wasn't a non-smoking section so I had to put up with the smoke. When I finished gambling and giving them their $25.00 back I went back to the Minnie. 

We decided to check out another casino that we had seen on the way to Golden Eagle Casino. It was a few miles back on the highway. It was called Sac & Fox Casino. Before going there we called and asked about overnight RV parking. They said yes, it came with power and cost $10.00 a night. The Sac & Fox Casino was a little bigger. We stopped at the desk to get a RV spot for the night. The gentleman said no problem he could take care of us. Then we asked about the players club card, he said he could help us with that. He signed me up for the card and once again they put $25.00 on the card. After paying for the RV spot they paged a gentleman so he could unlock the power box. Once we were hooked up to the power we had chicken wraps for dinner.

After dinner Larry walked me over to the casino so I could gamble. When Larry was leaving the casino he stopped by the snack bar and got a piece of apple pie for our dessert. I gambled for a couple of hours and then went back to the RV.  We shared the piece of apple pie then I went back to the casino and gambled another couple of hours. I gambling off the $25.00 card and came back with $10.00 in cash. While I was gambling I went to the snack bar and bought a cinnamon roll for our breakfast in the morning. 

I had fun gambling at both casinos and it didn't cost me anything, I actually ended up $10 ahead which paid for our camp spot, not bad.
