Traditionally the "Rockets Over the River" deal happens on two nights...the
Saturday before Independance Day and on the holiday day. This year it means
June 30th and July 4th.
What is unique in the 2007 edition is the addition of a nearly full moon
rising on June 30th. I hope all of you have seen a full moon rising over the
eastern hills and river, if given a chance. Hamstockman and I saw the last one
rise at the end May between the CB and EW.
For the uniformed a full moon rises at dusk. Then each day subsequent rises
about 50 minutes later. On July 4th the waning moon will rise around close
to midnight.
I got to do the Rockets Over the River on July 4, 2004. I got to stay-up
all night since I didn't have a room until the next night. This was a planned
event for me since my status in any casino did not include special events yet.
Harrahs let me nap in the morning in a louge chair at the pool with an
Entertainer magazine on my lap without hassle. I did Platinum in a Day, which then
was $10k through, I discovered after doing $13k on the nickel 50-plays putting
out at $10/Base point ( the 3 50-plays didn't start to act like a slot
machine at $5/pt until about November). Ah, the good old daze.
