Well now, should I ...

[DK528]

Looks like I won't be beginning my new job before Monday. I'm likely taking Thursday and Friday off. I'm thinking of heading down to AC Thursday. Should I go?

Pros:
-- Because the last few trips have been with friends or the BF, I haven't gotten in substantial amounts of slotting and I miss it! I also likely won't have a trip soon where I will.
-- It's my time off and I want to go :)
-- Maybe b/c it's a weekday, it'll be less busy at Borgata and I'll get to play some of the slots I didn't get to play over NYE.
-- Also, I may try and stay at GN for the night for a cheap rate. Give them some play so that maybe I can get some room offers, a free weekend summer night, and see how I like it over there.

Cons:
-- possibly bad weather starting early Friday so it'll make my trek home icky.
-- whenever I go down on these last-minute planned trips, I don't think I've done well. I could limit it this time by honestly low-rolling since I'll be gambling for many more hours than my last couple trips.
-- will likely go on a trip with the BF in March and I should just save my BR for that trip and not waste it here (see above).

Can you talk me in or out of it? :) Thanks!

I say go...

You deserve some me time this new BF is cramping your slotting lol..

[SoCalRob]

DK528 you deserve some YOU time. Especially since it's before you start a new job. You also deserve some major slotting time especially on machines you didn't get to play last time you were there. So just like the other two Jokers. I say go and enjoy yourself!

[slotbender]

If it wasn't for the threat of bad weather coming I would say-Go! They forecast snow right up through that area up to 1ft, possibly more : (

[noleman]

Go and get a break before the secondment. These kind of opportunities are pretty rare and I've regretted not taking advantage of them in the past, especially when you're going to be burning it for the next couple of weeks/months. (Although, I will confess, I'm about to jump into a couple of weeks of traveling and went to the local this past weekend for some R&R before the storm and got slaughtered).

[TwoArmedBandito]

I would go. Chance to play slots that are popular and some me time before a busy schedule. Only worry is weather, but that's only a chance of bad weather.

Thursday is a great time to go to the Borgata. You would be able to get on those popular machines. I would be concerned about the weather also. We have driven back in the snow from AC and the roads were horrible. They do not plow and salt the roads like they do here in NYC during a snowstorm.

[dvandentop]

go hit em otherwise you will regret it a few weeks into the job and been like damn i wish i had went outta town for a break before being tied down to work!! :D :D WIN BIG AND HAVE FUN! is the key!

[kdk]

I would go, as long as you think you can make it home after if the weather is bad. one advantage if the weather is bad is that lots of people cancel their trips too so it would be even less busy than normal. I know what you mean about trips with friends where you can't play as much as you want, makes me miss it more.

[goldengreeke]

I will say GO because I want to read another Trip report from you. :)

[zeus]

I would have to agree with everyone and say go. What fun you could have to be solo and get to do what you want. If you are worried about the BR, go and have some low-rolling fun. It may be a while before you get to have some fun with the new job starting. And what if something were to happen that a weekend trip with your BF in March did not happen? Major withdrawals you would have to deal with. At least book the room and then play it by ear. I am not from the area, but I wonder how well they do at getting the GSP cleared. With it being a highly traveled road I would think that it is a priority. And one last thought is how long you are planning on staying? Is this a one night trip, or are you or can you stay until Saturday if need be?

But mainly I am like goldengreeke. I would love a live TR to follow!

Go scratch that itch. Weekdays are a great time to play. No waiting for the most popular games. Do it, girl!

Well, Dina, I really want to go on Friday! Reserved for the Temptations bake ware giveaway and was looking forward to two nice days of just doing what I want to do. However, the impending snow storm for Friday may ruin my plans. If the weather is going to be that bad, you may not want to go. I am monitoring the weather reports to see if anything is changing.

[DK528]

You all convinced me :)

Well, you helped by encouraging me Cece :)

Ha, he was much better our NYE trip but he really doesn't understand wanting to play for more than a couple hours at a time ... which I like to do.

Looks like the snow won't be here before Friday night so i'm heading down and will monitor it. Want to pick up a gift at Borgata at 2 on Friday but if I have to leave earlier, I will.

See, that's what I was worried about. But I'm not going to bring down a big BR so any damage will be contained. The secondment is going to be intense so yes, I agree that I need a break :)

Yes, I can't wait to hopefully play things that have been packed at all hours of the day on my past trips :) Also, staying at GN will help -- they have a new slot area and it was empty last time I was there so I should be able to try Buffalo Gold, Gold Pays, Wonder 4 jackpots there if Borgata is still packed.

I should get out of AC before it gets bad -- but thanks for the warning and i'll make sure to leave before it starts.

Very true Derek :)

And it looks like its a $777 slot dollar every 7 minutes promotion tomorrow at Borgata so maybe I'll have more of a chance to win :)

Haha, and this one should be much more frequent posts than my last couple!

It'd be a one night trip -- I could extend if necessary but that's just getting more in the middle of the storm. The BF knows that there'd be one more trip before May (so I can renew my black card) so I'm confident there will be a trip in Feb/March/April but I'm going to treat myself first :)


Go scratch that itch. Weekdays are a great time to play. No waiting for the most popular games. Do it, girl!

Thanks for the encouragement Dennis :)

It looks like it won't start until Friday night or Saturday morning, even down there, so I should be fine. But I'll leave before the bakeware giveaway too if I have to, so I can get back to NYC safely. Maybe I'll see you there Margie!

Nothing like going to a casino solo to make the BF squirm a little lol. It will good for both of you.

Good luck on behalf of those who won't be going this weekend. Looking forward to some big wins.

[Handpayhopeful]

GO.... You have one life, live it!

New job? Is it a new firm? Better co-workers/ boss I hope!

Glad you are going as I think you would regret you didn't down the road when the work load piles up. You will have some wonderful ME time and enjoy the time off. Best of luck and have some slun!!!!! (slot fun)

I just saw this thread, glad to see you made the decision to go. Have a safe trip and enjoy your alone time. Good luck.

Ha, we met in a casino so my Vegas trip in October was an interesting time for us. He was insanely jealous but (a) we had had the exclusivity talk so I wasn't going to do anything and (b) I got sick so I didn't go out much.

And I hope to be able to oblige with photos of big wins!

I'm working at a client's office for 3-6 months. It's a great opportunity learning about the clients business and seeing how they work/operate and also choose outside counsel. It's a subject area with which I have zero familiarity so I have a lot to learn. I'm excited and nervous. I'll be returning to my firm when I'm done.

Have a great time at the Borgata/GN. Wishing you lots of good luck on the machines! I always find it a good time to get on the machines when the Comedy Show starts at 9PM less people on those good machines! Looking forward to your report. Safe travels.

[Elf70]

Good luck! Can't wait to see some slot porn. It will help me get over my current Vegas withdrawal blues!

wrong group to ask if you should go or not.:encouragement: I vote go.

[tee2green]

If it weren't for the weather forecast, I'd say go. Then again, the casinos might be empty and oh darn, you might have to spend another night in AC ;)
