Day 7

I had to set the alarm so that we wouldn't sleep all day, and we slept till it went off (11am lol). We had a big day planned Thursday and needed that rest. 

Neither of us were hungry when we woke up so we just decided to have supper a bit earlier than normal for us. That was alright, save a couple $$. Husband went to grab another 6 pack and i got ready to go to the pool. He didn't want to go but there was no way i was going to waste the gorgeous day sitting in the room so down i went. 

After a while he came out to join me, i had called him out on fb (not in a mean way) about wasting the day in the room, not sure if that is what brought him out or not lol. I was reading but i still like knowing he is near by. My plan was to soak up the sun for a while, take a dip, hit the muscles in the hot tub and repeat. He doesn't read but he decided to do the other activities with me. He only came in once though and i did 2 rounds of the above. When i was soaking up the sun for the 3rd time he decided to go back to the room. Told him i would finish drying up and reading that chapter than i would be in. 

It was +30C that day so i needed to take advantage of it. It also was awesome being at a pool where there were no children. There were all sorts of different people there, young ins (20s) drinking beer, older grandmas in hot pink bikinis not afraid to show the world they had wrinkles and i loved it. I loved it that people felt comfortable to be themselves and not afraid to wear what ever swimsuit they wanted. In a world where you should only be at the pool if you are young & skinny, this was nice. I felt completely at peace out there. It was quiet & comfortable. This world has become so focused on looks it was nice to have that change. 

We then got ready for the buffet. At home i do not wear much make up. My husband prefers the natural look even though i hate it. I just can't be bothered but in Vegas i had to do my make up every day. The only day i was not done up was the day we went to grand canyon. I just had this thing that i wanted to look my best. 

Off we went to the buffet. $10 for supper is pretty awesome in my books. We got a great server that i was very pleased with. I am not a beef person by any means. All my roasts and steaks are pork at home but i need meat and potatoes so i got a piece. I don't know much about buffets at all. I like my meat medium well done but if the person before me hadn't asked the chef to put his slab on the grill i would have never known i could do the same. It was a good piece of meat. It went well with the baked potato i had. 

My husband didn't know that (again, not familiar with buffets) and he was like "how come your's is cooked more" lol. I was quite satisfied with this buffet. I am sure not the best but you can't get much better for the $$. I did notice though that barely anyone tipped and that really bothered me. If you have an attentive server that should be appreciated, especially if the meal is cheaper. I have a hard time believing those people couldn't leave a couple$. I tried REALLY hard not to be judgmental in Vegas and i did pretty good at having an open mind but i just don't get that. We left a 20% tip each and you could just tell the server appreciated it! I liked the fact he didn't even open the pile to see how much it was, just put it in his pocket and thanked us. I don't believe in tipping at a buffet where it is fully self-serve (you get your own drinks etc) but if the wait staff have to come to your table a couples then most definitely!

I had allotted 75$ for this day as i wanted to play electronic bingo. My husband played 1 session with me but chose to play slots when i played the evening session. I played at 1 & 9. Both of them were double/triple payouts. I was the 1 away queen. The second session i was one away at least 9 times. 1 of those times 2 numbers later and my # was called. That sucked, payout was $300 and that would have been nice at the end of our trip. Ah well, wasn't meant to be. 

We had a great relaxing day, even so it was still least midnight before we got to bed lol. 

There is only 2 more posts left before this is finished. Last full day, then partial day and notes. 

I know i can get wordy and this is all by memory but i hope you guys are enjoying my details
