*sigh* -,-

It's been a little while since I've posted anything.

Monday afternoon, Matt & I decided to take up an offer from Ameristar Casino for their hotel. $79 for a deluxe suite with king size bed (which ended up over-looking the Missouri River).


Since I forgot to bring my camera, I got these off of the site, so excuse the star icons over some of the items.

The room was... amazing. This picture does NOT do it justice, I swear. When first walking in, I think both of our mouths were pretty much open in awe. I was not expecting something so nice. But considering the regular rates for the River View King room are about $180 a night... I would HOPE it's effing nice. :P

And the bathroom... That was another WOW.

This bathroom was incredible. When you open the beautiful wooden French-style doors, it reveals a toilet to the left (the picture should have been flipped) that has its own door so that if someone were using the bathroom, another person could be taking a shower... directly in front of the doorway, was the two-person marble/granite top sink... and to the right, closest to you was the separate glass-enclosed shower with the spacious tub next to it. I WANT A BATHROOM LIKE THAT! lol

After we got there (which was around 4-4:30pm) and looked around, we ate our subs we got on the way there, then took a little 3 1/2 hour nap and woke up at 9pm. We pretty much lounged in the huge comfy bed, drinking some tasty drinks, flipping through the TV. Ended up watching Malcom X. We were going to rent movies through them on the TV... but they charged $9.99 to rent ONE movie!

And we actually brought our PS3 along... but we couldn't get the internet to work on it. Matt called the front desk to ask about it, and apparently on the PS3 it just doesn't work... only on laptops. Then we noticed that no sound came from the TV when we had it hooked up. So there went our idea of going to a movie rental store and renting some movies & using the PS3 to play them!

We decided to go down to the casino floor to do a little gambling. I was hoping I'd do as well as I did the last time, and win close to $400........ but I didn't. I lost $20 and stopped myself there. Matt played Roulette and ended up coming out a little ahead... enough to make up for the $20 I lost and a little more.. so that was good! We did good. We were hungry after that, and the food there is way too expensive so we got in the truck and headed right down the street to the Waffle House and had some dinner.

We came back and returned to our room. We still couldn't get over how beautiful the room was. We started to watch another movie.... Boys Don't Cry... which was a freakin WEIRD movie.

I had a little surprise for Matt... which was coming out of the bathroom dressed in a cop costume...

That went extremely well... ;)

All-in-all, it was such a great experience... a very nice one-night getaway for us to spend some time alone. If they send us another coupon for it... we're definitely doing it again!!
