Winstar Casino

O .K.
We got to this passport America campground on Tuesday night. Met up with Jim and Bobbie. We are staying here because it is cheaper than the casino campground and is only about two miles from the casino.
Jim and I went over on Wednesday to check things out. Now this is one big, big casino...500,000 square feet. The largest one in Vegas is 125,000 sq. ft. We walked about 1/3 of it and both lost about $10. We did find out that they have a free senior breakfast on Wednesday and Thursday. $15.95 if you are under 55. So, we went on Thursday, somewhat skeptical about the quality, but were very pleasantly surprised. They served in the events area which is huge. Bobbie thought that there was seating for about 800. They have everything you would expect in a great breakfast buffet and it was all good. Regular plates and silverware and cloth napkins and waiter service included. They even had a live, very good, band playing 50's music.
After breakfast we wandered around the other 2/3 that Jim and I had not seen. This place just goes on and on. We had some luck on the slots. I think they have the slots set a little bit looser than most Indian casinos I have been too.
We have spent a lot of time visiting and eating with Jim and Bobbie, catching up and making plans. We will move from this campground to the casino campground on Tuesday morning and spend two or three nights there. If we stay three nights we can do the breakfast buffet twice!!!
From here on to a C.O.E, park about 60 miles NNE of San Antonio, until the 1st when we will head on down to Whitsett to start gate guarding
Have a great day today
Love to all of ya
GO BEARS
Jim and Linda
