Got a little behind. Here goes:
Day 3, Saturday Didn't know about the extent of the tropical storm coming in until today. We would have done a beach day had I fully grasped the details. Spent the morning picking up a wheelchair for my wife. Had a wonderful breakfast @ Toppers BTS. Shopped at Grand Marche near Phillipsburg for essentials. No cook breakfast items, booze, cigs (for me), and sandwich stuff for EZ lunches. Lunch on our patio. Hung out at the pool most of the day. Dinner at Rancho Steak House. Wife had salmon. I had the sampler platter. Bring an appetite for that. Lots of MEAT. Small rib section, a sausage & 3 pieces of steak. I'm a big eater & could not finish. Saved a nice piece of steak for a sandwich tomorrow. Considering the size of the meals, a pretty good value. 2 dinners & 3 glasses of wine for $80 including tip. Spent some time at Hollywood Casino to close off the evening.
Day 4, Sunday Breakfast & lunch in the room. My wife hung by the pool all day. I spent some time in the morning & afternoon as well as trying to get more storm details. Stocked up on water & bread from Market Garden. Stores were busy. Spent a bit too much time in the sun in the late afternoon & caught a bit of a burn before I realized I had gotten too much sun. Dinner @ Sopranos. Pizza, 3 drinks, and 2 salads. $80 including tip. Good service. Same excellent food. Someone slammed this place a while ago on TTOL. Must have caught them on a bad nite. Our experience this time was good as it has been on many other visits. Tried to play a little BJ at Royale. Only 1 table open with 10 watching & waiting players. I asked if they were opening another $5 table. I was told NO. They had no intention of doing so. I explained about the waiting players and that there were 3 idle dealers at higher priced tables. Still did not matter. We pulled out & went to Atlantis. Several tables there for me to choose from. They were happy to take my money.
