We started a tradition in our family a few years ago of going to one of the casinos over Christmas break as a quick get away. It started out just 4 of us my my husband, myself, my sister-in-law, and my niece. Over the years more and more from the family have heard about it and it has turned into a really nice quick get away. This year we will have around 15 people attending the event.
I think the economy had many of us on the ropes over Christmas break so we decided to postpone it until after the holidays. Well the economy must be hitting Foxwoods as well because we were able to get several rooms for free and none more than $40. We head out at the beginning of Feb.
We set our trip up so even the thinnest wallet can attend. We designate one room as the "LOSER LOUNGE" we set up video games. This year I believe we are bringing ROCK BAND and other cool WII games. We all bring different cocktails and appetizers.
For those that want to we all go out for dinner the night we arrive and generally meet for a late night snack around mid night. In the morning we catch a late breakfast together to see who the winners and losers are.
We are not frequent casino goers but it is a great way for a quick get away that does not require an expensive flight.
