First Date in Mississippi

Amanda and I went on our first date since we moved to Mississippi. I decided to review the various things we did.
Hard Rock Casino: Giant guitar out front sets the scene for a good environment inside. Amanda walked around the high rollers area for a few. Easy to lose five dollars in 20 minutes. I was actually up 1.50 on video poker. I liked the casino, but I did not play any table games. I would go back, but not until I go to several others.
Mary Mahoney's: I had Fried Shrimp which was ok, and Amanda had a veal which was not so good. If those two items are any indication, then I do not recommend the restaurant for dinner. Desert was good I had pecan pie which was good and Amanda had Mississippi Mud Pie which was ok. Decaf coffee was good. The service was good, but the restaurant is built into an old house and thus has a strange shape of the dining areas. This restaurant has served president's, but I was not impressed.
Riverdance: The drummer was amazing. The dancing was very good. It was a good show. There was a hiccup with the coliseum in the intermission when it looked like a circuit blew. During the show it was all good. It was a little strange from a spiritual perspective at times. All in all it was very enjoyable. I would recommend that you consider seeing it if you have not already.
