More ways for the casinos to eliminate jobs and to tighten expenses - thank the beancounters

The thing is it seemed like everyone was happy. The casinos were making money and people would fly from all over the world, even a low roller like me, to have a vacation in Las Vegas. We would come home and tell people yes we lost money but we never paid for a drink and I stayed at Caesars Palace for $49.00 a night with a free buffet everyday.

I have to tell you living in Florida cruising looks better and better.

Thta's really interesting, I know several people who are "cruisers" and you are the first I've evr heard who is an avid gambler while cruising. I really enjoy your gambling/cruising posts.

I just got back from a free five night cruise on Carnival. We were given a free inside and upgraded to a grand suite for an additional $700.00. They gave us free drinks in the casino and a steakhouse dinner for free.

They gambling God's were not nice this time. At least I only used 80% of my gambling budget.

Jatki Florida has its drawbacks but being close to a cruise port is not one of them.

Carnival sent me a notice for one of their Premier cruises. I will be going on this one in January. This is a special cruise reserved for people that like to gamble. I reserved a balcony for a 7 night cruise. With taxes, tips, insurance etc it cost $1500.00 for the two of us but they will give us $1500.00 cash (Ben Franklins) once we go to the casino.
