Treasure Chest Casino

5050 Williams Blvd Kenner, LA 70065 1-800-298-0711 Treasure Island Buffet 7 nights $25pp
Entertainment
Day 1 9:00pm - Day 1 11:00pm
Notes
Gambling Budget: $50 each. I plan to spend mine like this:
$10 in dimes for video poker
$20 in quarters for the one-armed bandit
$10 for the dollar machines - good luck!
$10 for one match-buck bet at BJ or Roulette. Double or nothing!
I don't plan to win. But if I do, I will treat myelf to a morning at Miss Celie's Spa! (see day 4)

TIP
Take a moment to get the coupon pack from the casino. Usually they include a free drink, a few dollars in coin, free spins on select slots, and match-bucks (you bet 10 and house matches 10 for a total $20 bet). I've never been to NOLA casinos, but I'm sure they offer these like Reno and Vegas casinos.

Day Spa Massage, body treatments, facials, manicure, pedicure
Thing to Do
914 North Rampart St

Day 4 10:00am - Day 4 12:00pm
Notes
Treat yourself to a morning at the spa! Miss Celie's international menu offers several wonderful body treatments, from Hawaiian salt glows with a Kukui Nut massage, to state-of-the-art French hydrotherapies and facials. Prices are reasonable, but expect to spend at least $100.

TIP- Get your pedicure and manicure at a local beauty shop before heading to the spa for body treatments. This will save you at least $25 that you can put toward an extended massage!
