Bingo Trail

Came for a visit on Friday night. Organized and efficient. Half the side allows smoking so even if you sit on the opposite side you, your clothes and anything you bring will smell like smoke. Prices are reasonable. They offer food and drinks as well. It says no outside food but everyone was bringing things in.

Ducked in of the recent Thanksgiving Holiday weekend because my beloved mother likes to spend her time here, making friends with the other elder ladies and hoping at a shot at a progressive jackpot.
This visit a lucky hall-​goer hit the much sought after «Fireball» progressive which rang in at $ 8K! Merry Christmas!
So I joined mom and sis. This was my second foray to the «Trail.» The staff and volunteers are helpful and friendly, although perhaps a bit too familiar and frisky. But good for the ego. Hi Lee, or is it Heather?! *wink*
The food was about what you would expect, except for the scrumptious and perfectly-​prepared-​by-​the-​snack-​bar-​chef, warm Croissant sandwich consisting of bacon, egg, and cheese. Mmmmmmmm! Home run, wish I had a half a dozen right now! Washed down with a Big Gulp sized fountain Coca-​Cola in served in a big-​boy sized, white Styrofoam cup.
The massive Bingo hall sits at the end of an L-​shaped strip mall which would benefit immensely from a tiny dive bar, trust me, people would drink before and after Bingo. Run a bingo special.
The hall is split into two sides, smoking and non.
The average patron age is well past retired, and smokers cough’s are aplenty on the smoking side. Although I did see a sad faced hottie with a nice figure duck in for a quick 20 minutes of Bingo and then duck out. Nice. :-)
My only complaint, as a non-​smoker who chose to sit on the smoking side so that I could enjoy my mom and sister’s company, is the the smoking side is TOO SMOKY. Open a window, install a retractable smoke-​roof for CHRISSAKES, and a few smoke eaters would do wonders. Even smoker’s eyes are burning.
Once you do that, and I test the environs, I will revisit this review for a shot at that fifth coveted STAR.
For now, Fair-​Shake Cabeza OUT!
