Celebrities, Chips, Cougars & Complimentary Coke

Last night, Corey and I met up with the Reeders for dinner and a trip to the new Snoqualmie Casino. The casino just opened a few weeks ago and you could tell - it was packed. It's really cool inside - it has really high ceilings with lodge-like beams, several restaurants, a poker room and a dance club. While there were some five cent and penny slots, the minimum bets were set pretty high and the tables had high minimums.

While Corey and Jason were playing Blackjack at the tables, Lisa and I decided to check out Club Sno, the dance club, where we found all kinds of interesting characters (who very likely were on some sort of drug). See the photos below.

Great shot of one of the cougars dancing it up (to the left of Lisa).

The cougar's dance partner had some special moves - he's directly to the left of Lisa. As we left the club, he even tried to get Lisa to dance with him. For some reason, she declined.

Overall, we had a fun night. We saw Julian Peterson (Seahawks linebacker) who was hanging out with his wife at the Blackjack tables (we would have tried to get a pic with him; however, there were too many video cameras and pit bosses around for us to attempt that), Jason saw Norm Charleton (ex-Mariner pitcher), Corey and Jason were able to play some Blackjack and smoke cigars, Lisa and I were able to dance it up a bit with the druggies and score complimentary Diet Cokes (while Jason had to pay $3.50 for a bottle of beer even though he was gambling) and Lisa came out the best, having won $50+ on the slots. We're all looking forward to our March Vegas trip!
