Big News in Biloxi – Golden Nugget Buys Isle

Big news in Biloxi!

Right as I was making reservations to return back to Isle of Capri in Biloxi, (we will be there March 14th) the Golden Nugget was announcing its plans to purchase this property.

 

Our Favorite Video Slots

When you walk into a casino, what is the first thing you do? If you are like me, you check to see if any of your favorite games are there or maybe look for some new game that you have wanted to try. I thought for this post, I’d review some of our favorite video slots.

First of all, let me say my wife and I like the bonus games, especially those that let you play together. There are a lot of great games out there but since we like to do our gaming side by side, our favorites below kind of lean that way.

 

Isle of Capri – Its Time To Eat

If you frequent casinos chances are you have eaten at a buffet or two. Did you know it is a law that you can’t open a casino unless you have a buffet?  (OK, I’m still fact checking that).

Picking the best buffet is actually pretty hard.  Buffets quality varies even at the same place and I’ve had good food at even run down casinos. Mrs. Gambler and I hardly even focus on the buffets anymore but rather certain dishes they serve. For example, the banana pudding at Isle of Capri in Lula is very good, and anything that says “Paula Deen signature dish” at Harrah’s Tunica is a good bet.

 

Isle of Capri in Biloxi – It Is Cool Like Betty White

I had so much to say about The Isle of Capri in Biloxi in my last post, I never even got to the checkin part. I’ll try not to make this an 18 part series on my vacation to Biloxi 🙂

One think I did want to do is comment on the rooms. I was reading some reviews of the hotel and someone mentioned it looked like it was decorated by the “Golden Girls”. This was funny as it was kind of true but it had me thinking “out of date”.  It wasn’t and I personally think Betty White is pretty cool (I still love this commercial) . The reviews were also all over the place with “fabulous place” and “Had a Great stay!” right next to “Sad and rundown” . I love reviews from other customers but this time we had no idea what to expect when we got to the room.
