Finally decompressed. Wednesday dinner was @ IZI. Good service and meal. Visited Starz Casino. No tables. Lots of multi-game machines. Didn't lose.

Thursday included a trip to Dingy's Beach Bar. Chairs & umbrellas were free with lunch. Burger for me and fish sandwich for Cindy. Very large & tasty. They were crowded.
No added service charge. Had leftovers in the room for dinner.

Good Friday had an abundance of closings. Roma for dinner was excellent! Casino actually had a $5 BJ table. Played for several hours. Won $30. Better than losing. LOL

I was at that table. Won $25 but left to watch basketball in my room.

Jerry--Senior moment--where is Starz Casino? Is that the one in Cupecoy that reopened fairly recently? And $5 blackjack tables at Casino Royale? Wow. Any time I don't lose, I consider that a win!!

Any chance of posting some pictures??

WWII--How is the rest of your trip going?? Those of us with a while to go yet are thirsty for news from "home".

I'm bad at reporting. I hate typing in my phone with 1 finger. I'll try to report a little in the future.

WWII--OK. (next time bring a laptop!! )

Several hours at the table and walked away on the plus for $30!! I'd say that goes in the win column!!! Free drinks??? SO?? The food at the new Dinghy's was good?? We were there last oct-nov, and the food was just "OKAY"!!! We'll be at BSV end of the week, looking to give it another try for food, drinks were really good!! Is the little bartender still there, he was very nice and made great drinks!!

You got it. Just across from Rainbow Beach Club & the Cliffs. Will try to download pics. I use my camera as I like it better than using my phone. The resolution is pretty much the same but old habits die hard. The airport experience is not good in either direction. The rest of the trip was great. Just got home so will try to do a final report tomorrow.

Dingy's was good. Not cheap but considering the free chairs and umbrellas...OK. Fish sandwich was huge & flaky, not soft. Wife said it was really good. Burger was 1/2 pound. Fries were shoestrings which I really like. I added bacon to my order. Gave us enough for 3/4 people. Soda & tea was included. Burger was too big for me. Had sweet pickles and I discarded them. Kept the lettuce, tomato, & onion. Just don't like sweet pickles. Probably good but just not for me. Prefer dill chips or a dill spear on the side. Bartender was a smaller guy. Seated us and took our order. No drinks as I was driving.

The "smaller" bartender's name at Dinghy's Beach Bar & Grill is Jake. He has been employed there since they opened. He makes wonderful drinks and he is always laughing. All of the staff are efficient and friendly. They sing and dance together and tell us they love working there as they feel like they are all part of a big family.

Jerry--thanks for taking the time to share your trip with us.

Easter brunch was delicious...sorry no pix. Avacado toast with eggs toms bacon. Delicious homefries, and I never eat all, but theirs I did! Hub had delicious pancakes w banana foster syrup, sweet, thick, tasty! All had little mixed fruit cup too! Bottomless mimosas or bloody $20! Nice live music 2 different good duos!
