WWReD?

mashedpotato · January 2012

the dental office I work at is going to a dental conference at Mohegan Sun Casino in May. They did this last year too I didn't go but from what I hear everyone had a blast. It's 3 days 2 nights all paid for except gambling and if you go off to eat or shop on your own.

Pros - I've never been there before and it sounds fun, free, good food, shows, fun group of people

cons - I'd have to take at least 2 days off of my regular job, not a big deal I have a lot of vacation time but still. I'd have to sit through dental lectures which I couldn't give a rats ass about.

should I stay or should I go now?

go.

I am not big into gambling so I probably wouln't go. If it was a place I wanted to go, I would suffer through the presentations for it.

Go, I love getting my coworkers out of the work environment. Good times.

Go. I've heard Mohegan Sun is lots of fun. If it's like the conventions I've gone to, it's really easy to sneak out of the lectures early.

I'd go. My first job out of college was at a dental organization and I always had a blast at the annual meetings. Dentists are fun when they aren't trying to sell me on invisilign anyway.

i think it sounds like a pretty nice little minibreak, and i don't even like gambling. since you have plenty of vacation at your other job, eh, why not? at the lectures, take your phone and sit in the back and nest.

Go! I'm not big on gambling, but Mohegan is fun regardless!

ok, I think I will go. The only other concern is that I know the two people I'm closest to (one being my BF) are already rooming together so I don't know if I'd end up with someone else, although at this point they've all probably paired off. maybe they'll give me my own room! that would be worth it.

I've never been to a casino before except for Atlantic City when I was about 11 and my step brother and I hung out on the board walk while his mother and grandmother gambled for a few days.
