We have been going a good year or so now to the gulf coast, and i really am impressed with the wonderful attention the island view gives us. My friend gets free room, and sometimes i have also, when that happens we combine them and take a four day vacation! There is alot going on for srs in the area and in all but one casino in biloxi you are a sr if you are 50, thats a plus for me! As my friend is older than i am, lol. Our last trip we walked out to the peir nearby and looked at the ocean, and just enjoyed a sunset. And we played all over the place, but since Island view gives us rooms, we play there alot and we ate there this time on our comps. We had a great sandwich platter for a five am breakfast at the coffee shop, they had sent some comps for any eating place to my friend, so this and two cups of coffee only cost him a buck. Then we ate later on in our stay at the grill there and the hamburger was the best i have ever eaten. I did not even have indigestion, how great is that, its unbelievable but TRUE! I have reflux and take meds but always get repeats on burgers, not this time! It was truly a heavenly burger! Will eat one of their nine dollar burgers again even if i pay for it! They dont carry my fav beers smirnoff but they did have bud light lime and thats good for a beer while i was playing slots. The room was great, i dont think i ever wake up at all from their beds till i am ready to actually get up and go, not true with so many other beds. I have slept at the isle, their beds are bad, the palace was pretty good, and i have not been to any others but the view since we have started going so regular. After all they are the only one sending us free offers, and thats where we will spend most our playing money. Looking forward to all the offers that I imagaine will come in from our last trip in most places we really got to play awhile for our money. Only two were bad for me and that was the palace and hard rock, no real payback this time to keep playing this trip. I played a long time at the island view and lost alot of my trip money, i did not hit anything this trip, but i have and my friend has in the past, so it comes in cycles. I actually had done well at silver star/golden moon before we got to gulfport and spend my winnings from there in the gulf, but at least i had more to spend when i arrived...lol. Lost the last of my money at wind creek on the way home but boy did i get to play the first day, enjoy the pool and room and two meals before i left. So for the 100 i left home with i had a good 1000 playing vacation of this i am sure.
