I'm fully aware that these are nefariously designed bits of social engineering meant to have you disassociate what you're spending on games with actual money, but I signed up for one anyway because, besides the buffet discount, I apparently also got $50 of free slots credits to play with. I noticed a sign offering $5 off the buffet if I were to sign up for the Morongo Winner's Circle card. When I pressed a little more to see if there were any shows or promos in honor of Turkey Day, his eyes seemed to say, Do you understand where you are? while his mouth said, "No." I took my drink and sought out guest services to see if I could find any other attempts at a holiday cash grab, or even a shout out to Squanto, but unfortunately, all I could find out from the nice lady at the desk was that many people stayed at the casino over Thanksgiving weekend to participate in the three-day Black Friday bonanza going on at the outlets next door. The bartender was friendly as well he told me the casino was commemorating Thanksgiving with a special feast at the buffet. I started at the bar and found the drinks to be refreshingly cheap. It was a mission in line with The National Day of Mourning and Unthanksgiving, two holidays focused on commemorating the struggles of this country's native population. My excuse for making this trip was to symbolically give money back to the indigenous people whom my white forefathers stole a continent from.
