Lake Tahoe Weekend

This past weekend I spent at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe for a free skiing weekend with my daughter and her college roomate. We arrived on Friday and did a snowmobiling tour through the state park. It was great because they had lots of fresh powder and we were able to play for a while. They said the tour was going to be 28 miles, but i don't think it was more than 15 miles or so. The snowmobiles were very basic, but perfect for first time riders like ourselves.

Friday night I wanted to play a little blackjack but most of the tables were full so I ended up in the high limit room playing the $100 minimum tables. I played for about 90 minutes and ended up $380 ahead for the session.

Saturday I took the kids up the mountain for skiing, dropped them off, and headed back down to the casino. At my age skiing is no longer a priority. I just don't heal as quick as I used to.

I goofed around both Harrah's and Harvey's casinos looking for new video slots that I hadn't played before. Everytime I ran into a new game I put $20 in and played until I lost the $20 or made it through a bonus round. At the end of the day I was down $180 on the video slots.

Sunday morning I was up at 4:30am and back in the casino while the girls slept. I managed to lose about $860 playing a bad DBL DBL video poker game and some Blackjack. I was back in the room by 7:30 waiting for the girls to wake up (It turns out teen girls don't wake up til 10:00am).

Weekend Result: -$660
Year to date: $45,020
