not all is bleak though...

we went to the Mountain High Casino in Black Hawk last night, on the oldies station's (KOOL 105)dime. last month, i won a prize of free dinner (buffet) for two as well as $25 in cash. so we decided to redeem it before next week's expiration date.

food was okay; they need to put out less food on slower nights, some of it was looking kinda sketchy. service was pretty marginal. our server, a pretty, young Russian gal, seemed more interested in doing her sidework than tending our refills. honey, your sugar shuttles and salt/pepper shakers ain't the ones handing out tips... poor thing, maybe she'll figure it out soon.

aside from the mediocre food and service though, we fared better with the nickel slots! of the $25 in cash, we had spent about $15 of it when we started to hit teeny jackpots. all in all, we came out $50 ahead. not bad considering this trip to Black Hawk cost us just gas and a tip for the lame buffet server...
