Hotel Happy Hour

May 22, 2010

We’re here!!! Hooray! :mrgreen:

Quick disclaimer: The nice folks at Mohegan Sun provided Mal and me with a free stay at their hotel and a dinner out at their new Bobby Flay restauraunt, Bar Americain. Even though we are being treated to a complimentary mini-vacation, all of my reviews will be completely honest and all my own.

Mal and I checked into our hotel room and immediately kicked-off our Mohegan experience with a fancy bottle of champagne. We received a case of this champagne as a gift for our wedding, so we only break it out on special occasions. Turning 28 is most definitely a special occasion! ;-)

Hi, Mal! :-D

He was checking out the price of massages at the hotel spa, but they are out of our price range. Bummer. :-?

Mal is now patiently waiting for me to “pretty” myself so we can hit the casino. He such a good husband like that. Thankfully, hockey is on TV! ;-)

Off to enjoy Mal’s birthday! See ya! 8-)

Looks like you guys are having a blast already! We live just a couple hours from CT, so we’ve been dying to come up to Mohegan for awhile now. Can’t wait to go! :) I’ll live vicariously through you guys for now, LOL.

super sweet hookup, sounds like you guys have a good night ahead of you. Mohegan is so good for table games, and if nothing else, for the people watching. Krispy Kreme is also a terribly delicious late night temptation. Enjoy!

I think it would be cool if there were disclaimers like this at the beginning of each post (like saying you work for Gordon’s,Sigg etc
I appreciate more transparency in blogs to help prevent them becoming too commercial like tv.Hope you will incorporate this even more.
Thanks for listening and your blog….and hey enjoy the perks girl!(I would too ;)

Hey I found your blog a while back at random and I enjoy stopping by time to time to check it out! I am also a body pump fan so I appreciate that! my gold’s now offers private small class called “Accelerator” that’s amazing! Do you guys have it too? It’s kettle bells and plyometrics! I think you’d enjoy it a lot!
