[2018] 006/365: Best Fried Chicken
We started off the day with some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had at the second location of Ball’s Fried Chicken. Their chicken is on point. Crispy, a bit of spiciness, and a whole lot of juiciness. The only thing they need to upgrade is their sides. I wasn’t a big fan of them and wished for either mashed potatoes or green beans.
We went home and watched episodes of Black Mirror and took a nap before heading out to L’Auberge Casino. Scruffy and I each gambled a twenty five and twenty bucks respectively and we both lost.
We waited in line for what seemed an hour for Le Beaucoup Buffet. This is inside L’Auberge Casino if any of you are wondering. The service was pretty bad at first but it got better as we started to eat.
All-You-Can-Eat | $36.99/person
We were mostly here for the snow crabs and dungeness crabs. Let’s just say we both ate more than our fair share to make up for the cost of the entry fee.
Scruffy went to gamble some more and I used the $2.40 I had left on slots. After losing it all, I had thirty six cents left the slot asked if I wanted to use the rest to gamble for free spins. I came out winning fifty free spins. FIFTY! And with that fifty spins I won $46.52. Not too shabby!
We cashed out and went back to the Golden Nugget Casino. Scruffy’s idea. I didn’t mind though since he didn’t suggest Isle of Capri. Yuck. That place … never again.
Scruffy lost some monies and ended up following me to the slot machines. I put in a twenty, played at three different machines and at my last roll before I had no more money left, I hit a jackpot and came out with $100.07. I clicked “cash out” and we went on our merry way.
We won’t be gambling after tonight so at the end of all of this, Scruffy lost $40 and I won $164 on the whole trip. Not too bad I’d say.
Tomorrow we’ll be grabbing lunch and heading back home. It was nice having only me and him time. We wished our pups were with us. One day …
