Quite honestly It's been a wild. We are both retired and my husband has been earning W-2Gs more than his annual salary ever was. We live in Philadelphia so Atlantic City is 1 hour away. We regularly treat the whole family to multiple comped rooms in both Vegas and Atlantic City, along with food and entertainment comps. Our basement is filled with casino gifts - do you need any luggage, foot bath,crock pots, or stick vacuums,lol?
I think the party's over, though. We have re- evaluated our multiple Atlantic City trips and my husband has decided to pull back what he spends towards his gambling both on land and at Sea. On our current trip, which included a comped Carnival cruise from LA and the current Ovation cruise from Honolulu, he played very little of his own money and came out ahead from both his play and the Freeplay given. And on the current Ovation cruise he hasn't played any additional money besides the $1,500 Freeplay which we netted out $1,800.
