Monday through Thursday

We stayed pretty much at The Borgata most of this trip. We had good seats for their July 4th fireworks right at our room's window. It was awesome being level with the fireworks and a pleasure to have the glass muffling some of the sound.

Everytime we visited a CET property, we found more reasons to return to The Borgata ASAP and just stay there. We attempted Ballys Beat the Heat but didn't even hang around to see if either of us won the pathetic $5 download now that it has to be higher than 87 to get a dollar a degree more. Total Rewards buses were impossible to use with huge families filling them up and our last breakfast this morning at Harrahs had 2 women with a table full of kids going wild from before we sat down till after we left. Luckily, we had a table as far from them as possible but the glass shattering shrieking from them was non-stop. Yes, I used to take my kids to AC and restaurants but they behaved or we immediately left.

CET is losing their core gamblers. The CET casinos were emptier than they were in June when the kids were still in school while The Borgata was as busy as ever. Doubt these gamblers will return in the Fall when CET may start sending room comps and other promotions again because they have already found other playgrounds like The Borgata and Vegas and racinos in PA and DE.

Anywho the machines were loose at The Borgata and I had plenty of action and earned comp as fast as we ate it in the buffet and Amphora lounge so a perfect trip on The Borgata side of the marina.

ETA: huge disappointment tonight. I was really looking forward to trying the live feeds for Big Brother now that I had a new puter and FIOS but after seeing their twists of returning house mates, I lost interest quickly. Can barely listen to Rachel the three hours a week on the show till she is gone, the sooner the better.
