I was just thinking about what should I do about my birthday.I know its a little while away (October 21) but I want it to be special and something that I will not forget. You only turn 21 once in your life...well maybe a few times lol Anyway, My mother said that she wants to take me to a casino(Like I want to go broke now in my life lol ) but she says i will have a good time . i told her if i go than i will stay on the penny machine the whole time if there is one. That way i wont be losing that much money right? I do not know I wanted to have lost some weight by then so that i could look my best as a 21 year old . I want to go looking fancy in a dress and maybe a crown or something because my boyfriend says I am a queen.( He is such a sweetheart) How does everyone think about the casino? I do not gamble but You only live once so Why not?

If you want to, you can go. It's your birthday after all. If you ask me, I will suggest you either save that money or visit a shelter or orphanage or elderly home and buy them something from that money.

Well, usually if you gamble, you can drink for free.

@ANewGeneration Yes, they want to get you drunk, so you lose more money. If you only bring what you are willing to spend for a night of entertainment, it can be an economical night out. They count on more people not having that kind of self-control

@ANewGeneration Well at the end of the day, it's your day so you can pick whatever you feel like doing. I've only been to a casino once but I didn't get to stay very long. Played a few games and won nothing. Not many people were there either so I didn't get that awesome vibe. To be honest it looked depressing. Watching people completely hooked on the games in a daze hoping that the next go will make them a winner. Yet they sit there for hours and hours with no luck. Well not enough luck to make them finally get off their butt! But really, yes you only live once! But doesn't mean your special day has to be at a casino. The casino will always be there if you feel like having a night out! But who knows, maybe you will enjoy it! Maybe it would be the best night of your life! And it really does help when you have the people you want around you at that time too! Good company can make a great time! Whatever you decide to do, I really hope that you have an awesome time and a night you will never forget!

@VivaLaDani13 I has never been to one. You are right about a good company making a very mundane thing so interesting and enjoyable. The best time ever!
