$500 Coffee Mug

Whenever Jack and I visit a casino we sign up for their player rewards cards. Sometimes signing up will get you an instant on the spot gift or free play on the slots. At one of the local casinos here,Fantasy Springs, http://www.fantasyspringsresort.com/prod/resort/resort.php
they send monthly mailers with their special offers. Tonight we are taking advantage of the Fantasy Springs hotel rewards which offers 4 free nights accomodations. Since Jack's brother is in town and spending a few nights at Fantasy Springs (on his player club rewards) we thought it might be fun to spend one night as well,enjoy the free buffet (also a player rewards perk) and visit the roof top bar at sunset. Tuesday's feature the free gift giveaway to player rewards card holders. The gifts are usually cheesy,cheap crap such as coffee mugs with the Fantasy Springs logo on the front,spice racks,mini Zen gardens etc.We've been suckered in a few times for these gifts. Of course the free gifts and buffets are all designed to get you into the casino where you'll probably be sucked dry at the roulette wheel or poker table before you can blink an eye.

Did I ever mention the framed art I created out of  our casino rewards cards from last Summer? It is titled "My $500 Coffee Mug"
