This is getting long, so this is last chapter for tonight I think....
Anyhow, got to Gold Strike along with HappyPeekers and Deeprub about the same time. This was actually first time I had managed to cross paths with them face to face.
Nice to meet yall!!!
If you haven't had the pleasure, they're two of the nicest folks you'll ever meet in the business.
I got checked in, the puppy suite was on the top floor with a view of the river:
The rest of the crew showed up later, we spent most of the remainder of the afternoon and evening drinking, eating, drinking, gambling, drinking, etc. Here's a view of the Gold Strike from outside....pardon the blur, but I'd been drinking, taking pics, drinking....
