Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work we go

We arrived at our first casino destination Biloxi after a six hour drive from Tucker, GA. The drive was uneventful. We were entering Biloxi with the intent on starting our work sessions at the Beau Rivage casino. Never having been to Biloxi and using a catalogue from an earlier road trip meant the brand new Imperial Palace casino was not on our to do list.

The BR parking provided an unexpected hurdle. My right foot developed a sore big toe while in Georgia and the six hour ride did not help it. I did manage to find the furthest parking space from the casino's elevator and struggled to hobble back to the casino floor.

The casino's gaming tables are not directly attached to the parking either. To get there you have to walk through a mall like string o f small shops, similar to the Bilagio set up. Upon entering the table game area we immediately found some empty low limit tables and began to play. It was a long time for me since I have played black jack so some practice rounds were good. Mel and I both managed to win our first round of play and celebrated at the casino's buffet. Saving money by making it in 20 minutes before the dinner rate took affect. The buffet advertised itself as the “next level” and was very good by our standards.

We left the BR casino found a room at an overpriced Super 8 just off the causeway to Biloxi and returned for another evening session at the Imperial Palace. We learned to park closer to the elevator, enjoyed a winning round at their plush casino and left winners for our first two work sessions.
