So, Robert's surprise Christmas present was tickets to go see Cheech and Chong at the Beau Rivage Casino Theatre! He had mentioned wanting to see them, but there were no shows locally, so I thought I would check the casinos because they sometimes get unscheduled stops for some of these folks...and there they were at the Beau! AWESOME! The tickets weren't bad and the theatre is small, so the seats weren't bad. Robert was SO excited for the show and I was excited to see the Beau Rivage because I've never actually been there-even though rebuilding it was one of the first jobs that Robert had when we moved back.
The Beau is HUGE-more like a resort than a casino because we only saw one partial casino floor. Everything is guilded and the Christmas decorations were AMAZING! There were shops upon shops and 5 different restaurants
(we went to "Coast", which had excellent, but normal
sounding food) and there is a spa, salon, and a pool on the 3rd floor...We got there early, so we ate and played some slots with some of Robert's Christmas Bonus money...not very successful, really. I hit $130.00, but had played $45 by then, so I was feeling a bit guilty about the money I had lost, so I just decided to watch Robert play, which didn't help...anyway, right before the show started, I asked Robert for $20 to play one last machine-I like the "7"s play 3 credit machines for 25 cents-I sat down. Hit 3 credits twice and his $390!!! With the other $130 that I won I had practically paid for our TV that we hadn't expected to buy.:) It was awesome! Made my night.:)
I was ready to watch Cheech and Chong at that point and we laughed our asses off. They had some great jokes abou
t cats, which almost made me cry. Robert said that they didn't do as much of their really old stuff as he had hoped, but we still enjoyed ourselves. Here are some photos of the good old boys:
