The Scintas.

Steven and I ventured out to the Muckleshoot casino last night. It was our first time in a casino and what a crazy place it is!! I can't believe that people sit there all night feeding their money into machines not knowing whether or not they'll get any of it back. It's crazy how many machines and tables are in there. We, however, did not go to gamble, we went to see the Scintas (Shin-tuh-z). We had seen them on the cruise ship while we were on our honeymoon and they put on a wonderful show. So when we were driving by the casino a couple of weeks ago on our way home and we saw their name up on the board, we knew it was something we didn't want to miss. And the good news is, the show was free. Yes! We like that! One of our funnest dates ever and it didn't cost us anything.

We just showed up at the casino, got our Preferred Players Cards (haha! They actually think we're going to spend money!!!!) and we were in! The security people at the door who checked our IDs greeted us with an enthusiastic "Good luck!" which I thought was rather amusing. The only downside of the evening was that we came home reeking of cigarette smoke. Gross! I wish I had worn jeans and a sweatshirt so that I could just throw everything directly in the wash but no, I wore a dress and a nice jacket, both of which are dry clean. I'm going to let them air out for a while and hope they return to their normal smells.

The show was great. They did some of our favorite stuff from when we saw them on the ship and there was also some more... adult content that they had left out before. They did impressions of Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Michael Jackson, Niel Diamond, Sammy Davis Jr., Ray Charles, Billy Joel, Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley, and some other people who we weren't so familiar with. We laughed a ton and sang along and had a marvelous time. I hope they come back to the area again sometime soon.
