Glory Of Rome Late Fall Trip Review

Work has been a bear the past few months, with coming in early every morning for new computer system training.  Add to that the usual drama from the VFW,and you've got one stressed out Puddin.  So I decided I needed a little break, so yesterday after work I headed over across the bridge to my beloved Glory Of Rome casino and hotel and spent the night.  It was a welcomed break.  I had a coupon for a room for only $19, and I think I used up that much in water when taking my long bubble bath last night.  I also had a coupon for $10 in free play, and I was able to turn that into a sweet $98, so without spending a dime of my money, my room and steak dinner (served to my by their awesome room service staff) was paid for, plus I had cash leftover. 

When I win any amount of money, I get excited.   In fact, I get as excited over winning $98 as I would if I'd won $9800.   When I won my $98 last night, a woman about my age was sitting at the machine next to me.  She was playing the maximum amount of coins you could play on one spin, and she had just won $303.  If that had been me, I would have had to run back to the hotel room to get some dry pants.  But I digress.  As soon as I won my $98, I cashed out and headed back to the hotel room.  As I was walking away, I heard the woman say "Now I can pay my water bill!"  Do I really need to say any more?
