Horseshoe Bossier City, LA

Ok, we did the Horseshoe.  Per Chris' code...we both about broke even.

I found Woody sitting at a slot machine not losing at that time.  He said check out the lady sitting at a machine in the next row (while he kept playing).  He said I think it is Brenda.

I went and scouted it out.  Like Woody I wasn't sure so I said Brenda??? and yes it was her.  She said she was already on her second $100.  Brian was somewhere else losing his multiple hundreds.  We chatted for a while...just like neighbors at home.

Here are my thoughts on the Horseshoe casino.

1.  It is still a smoking casino.  That was a disappointment for sure.  I put on my mask and didn't stay too long.

2.  It only has a very expensive steak place, a burger bar and some Japanese fast food.  We are now sitting at Outback.

3.  It has been SEVERAL years since we visited.  At that time I think it was a celebration of some sort so Woody surprised me with my very first spa treatment.  Now, I guess because of Covid the spa is closed. Bummer.

4.  The place needs a face-lift.  Seems kind of shabby now. But still better than sitting in my recliner at 209RR.

5.  The bathtub in our room is ginormous. Could fit a family in this tub.  That is a bonus.

6.  Our room is huge,  ice cold and the bed and pillows are soft.  Just like I like it.  I asked for two extra blankets so Woody wouldn't freeze or complain.


One more thing...
Since we have not road trip traveled in such a long time I guess I forgot how we do it.  We each overpack a huge bag and then bring a small bag to take in the hotel.  The big bag stays in the car and we just repack the little one each hotel stop.

Woody remembered his little bag but I did not.  We stopped at Shreveport Walmart to get a bag for me and a few other things.

I was looking at the roller bags when an older guy stopped to ask me if I was buying a bag.  I said yes..he asked if I was flying to Vegas.  I said no, NC.

That was odd that I looked like a person buying a Walmart bag about to fly to Vegas.  Wonder what tipped him off???

One more last thing...
We were behind this truck right before our turn to Walmart.  Looks like there had been a mass murder by and around it.  Very odd.

With that...JEW out.  About to go enjoy my cozy room while Woody about breaks even again:)
