Thanks Riviera!

Hi Perry,

Just wanted to thank you again for all you do for us while we are in Vegas. We made it home safe and sound but the area had lots of flooding while we were gone. It even made CNN news this morning! It was mostly around the Wisconsin River area and we are about 18 miles from there so we are in good shape out here in the country. This morning the ground was white with frost and we even turned the furnace on just to warm the house up a little. I heard you will be back in the triple numbers again today. No furnace for you I guess haha. Thanks again for the great time you always give us when we visit. Oh yes, I took 11th place in the tourney and made $500 in free slot play and was surprised to see that. The banquet meal was super again and the whole doings were put together without a hitch as usual. The Riv sure knows how to make people feel at home. Thanks again Perry and be sure to let everyone else know how much we enjoy coming out there to visit.

Dan & Barb
