Massages and Indian Casinos aka "Girls Day Out"

I believe that everyone should get a massage every once in a while. Its good to fine tune that body so that the mind can move forward. I haven't had a massage in a while so it was a nice treat to go with a group of girls (yes we are all girls at times, not just women) and get one done.

Then comes the question of how long should a massage be? In my mind, it can never be long enough! I find it fascinating that a lot of spas now offer timed massages. Would you like the 25 or the 50 minutes massage? In some places, you can get an 80 minute massage. I think after 80 minutes I might be in a coma induced state and the spa would be stuck with me on the table, taking at least another 20 minutes for me to peel myself away from it. 

Now, with that being said, you can do a multitude of things before and after a massage. There's always lunch and/or dinner and sometimes shopping. But on this day, it was to be dropping a few coin another way. We opted to get massages at an Indian Casino.

Now, I have never been to one, so from that point of view it was very interesting. This one was really nice and I have to say as far as casinos go, it was better than the ones near the California-Nevada border. It was small, but decorated well,. They could have taken a little hint from the big time casinos in Las Vegas by pushing through more air and oxygen (people who go here really like to smoke) but they did provide sealed No-Smoking rooms instead. 

I had done some online research about this casino before we arrived and found out that they had a bingo room. The girls were willing to go along and play (4 hours long!). Very fun. I thought at one point we were going to be asked to leave because we just couldn't keep quiet. It wasn't the talking, it was the laughing. A couple of us made a few "aca" comments (you have to seen the movie Pitch Perfect to understand what I am saying) and then one person starting laughing, then the others giggled, then it got louder as we looked at one another and realized how much we were laughing, and it escalated from there. When 3 rows of people (about 75 people) turn around and "shush" you all at the same time (and rather loudly) you have a fear of being in trouble, unfortunately it did not sober us up enough as we continued to giggle. Luckily, we got it together and finished our session.

We decided we have to do this at least once a year - we even became premier members (to be honest we signed up for the discounts and the free t-shirt) - and that we would take a bigger crew. Oh my, I don't know if they are ready for that!
