The Tease

Southern Leg

On the last post I left a teaser in anticipation of some really good snarky material resulting from our planned destination for this date.  For logistical reasons, the only logical accommodation for tonight was the parking lot of the Miccosukee Gaming and Resort (casino) located on a Seminole Indian Reservation on the edge of the Everglades.  Targets of opportunity should have been endless. Indians, alligator wrestling, casino denizens and RV'ers all in one place.

However, as has been the case several times in the past, I will have to eat crow (no pun intended).

From the outside, it was a pretty classy looking place.  Not Las Vegas strip caliber, but not the grimey little roadhouse I recalled from a trip through the area many years ago.  They offered free overnight parking for RV's, and half price buffet dinners plus $30 each in free gaming credits to first time visitors. 

After checking in with security, we had a decent buffet dinner (wadda you want 6 bucks apiece).  Then we dumped the complementary $60 in gaming coupons on the slots in less than 15 minutes and went back to the Funmobile.   

I have to say all of the local Seminole staff we met were extremely professional, friendly and helpful.  The only ones left to poke fun at were denizens of slot machine gallery and the cheapskate RV'ers chowing down on the cheap food and free overnight accommodations.

Mirror mirror on the wall.....

Good night from the parking lot of the Miccosukee Casino
