Casino Camping

We left Alabama yesterday and drove about 180 miles to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi where we're camped at the RV park at the Hollywood Casino.  It's a pretty good deal, the campsite is about $35/night depending upon how much you gamble.  We may get it discounted or even free if we're really big losers.  The sites are nice; big, level concrete pads with wide roads so set-up was a record 30 minutes.  This is our first chance to casino camp, and apparently many casino camping sites are just a bare parking lot with hookups.  Here we have grass and trees.

Once the cats were settled in we jumped on the free shuttle and headed to the casino.

It's a very pleasant casino.  Not huge but big enough, relatively smoke-free and best of all, it has 5 cent video poker.  After playing for about 45 minutes I was down $3.65 and the Navigator, who had been playing quarter video poker, was down a bit more.  I'm not sure that will get our camping comped, but it was fun. Next stop was the buffet and since it was Wednesday we could eat for the senior (50 years plus) price of just $6.99 each.  Are we a couple of sports or what?

The buffet was good, and it was a nice way to get a decent, convenient dinner on a travel day.  We're probably done gambling for this stop.  Today we'll explore the towns of Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis and tomorrow off to Louisiana.

Beanie really enjoying the non-travel day on my lap.

Stay tuned!
