FREE! One of my favorite words!

Last Friday we took a spontaneous vacation. Primm resorts are offering a free two day stay for Nevada residents till July 9th. I talked with Jerry about it a little while he was at work, but we didn't make any definite plans. When he got home we decided to do it so we called, booked the hotel, and were gone in about 40 minutes. Sadly, I'm not nearly as spontaneous as I used to be before I had kids. I'm so glad we did it. It was a wonderful weekend. The resort offered a free two night stay, two for one breakfast, lunch, AND dinner buffet, $50 free slot play, 2 free all day ride passes, and 2 for 1 golf (we didn't get to do that because we had the kids)


Friday night we got checked in and just hung out at the hotel. Saturday the kids went on the rides all day. They were only tall enough for the frog hopper, but they were fine with that. They just went over and over again. It was great. We also went swimming at the pool and watched a movie on our laptop in the room.

So here's the big question??? Is it bad to gamble with the free slot play money they gave us?? Well, we decided it's not. So during the movie Jerry went downstairs and played the slot machine and made almost $20. Great. We actually made money on this deal. I know they want you to stay for two days thinking that you'll end up gambling and giving them a lot of your money anyway. They are forgetting about us! Jerry is admittedly one of the cheapest people ever! He cashed out when he won $0.24, and anything won was pocketed for our dinner. So that night we went to the dinner buffet (2 for 1) and then did rides a little more. The kids were wiped out after a very fun day, so we went back to the room and hit the hay. It was a wonderful stay. The kids had so much fun and still talk about it.

Nevada residents if you want to do this go to primmvalleyresorts.com and click on promotions, then "freecation" The calendar says they are sold out on Saturday nights, but if you call and tell them you want to do it they'll let you stay at Whiskey Pete's, for free and just take the monorail over to Buffalo Bill's for all the activities. Just make sure you stay both nights or they will charge you! Weird huh. They assume if you stay long enough you'll gamble.
