Let's Make Vegas Fanatics Great Again. (L'Auberge Lake Charles March 19-21)

By doing what defined this board in it's prime. A Good, old fashioned, Trip Report.

As I've stated on prior threads Mrs. P and I have been home bound since just about 2 weeks prior to Christmas whilst she rehabbed a Grade 3 High Ankle Sprain. The cause was our new puppy zigging in the back yard while Mrs. P's ankle zagged. She stepped in a depression in the back yard, felt a Pop! and has been down ever since.

Needless to say it's been three months and she's starting to get a severe case of cabin fever. I've been told to get her out of the house, and get her out of the house NOW! Being a dutiful hubby with a strong vein of self-preservation running through my Soul I have agreed.

But, what to do?

Well, flying right now is out. Houston is taking a shellacking from TSA being unfunded, and the idea of flying with her ankle scooter doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Hey, why not drive out to Lake Charles? So, I scheduled a day of PTO (Friday is a day off anyway) and went out to the L'Auberge Lake Charles website and booked us a room. Arriving Thursday the 19th and leaving back home Saturday the 21st.

Basketball and Video Poker, what more could a guy ask for right? (Getting out of the house and having some drinks, what more could an injured girl ask for?)

Lately, L'Auberge has not been the greatest for me. I'm having trouble with missed draws and hitting 4Oaks etc, but things can change, things WILL change, either way we're going to have fun. Unfortunately the Spa is closed for renovations, so my dream of getting a Friday AM massage has withered on the vine. But my dream of Royals and premium 4Oaks, and good slot wins, is still alive and kicking, even if Mrs. P is not right now. (She is undergoing physical therapy, and is improving, so we're hoping by May she'll be back to [almost] full strength.)

So, come along kids and follow us as we continue the never ending quest for more Royals, more money and more good food and drink.


Warning: Actual RESULTS on this TR may vary.

 

These pups are at puppy camp. And, a small bankroll for a quick trip booked and ready to go.

Packing now, hope to get on the road by Noon, and to the casino by 3:00 - 3:30

 

5 hours later, should have been 3 but there was a hazmat wreck that closed the Freeway, we are finally here. I need a drink.

 

Pretty fun night last night. Got rinsed on the gambol tho ugh.

 

Not much happened the rest of the trip. I was going to hit up the Spa on Friday, but it was closed for renovations. So we gambled, and then turned in early to get a full night's sleep before driving home Saturday. Here are some VP wins from Friday..
