Having a night out with my wife.

Once a year typically we get to go out together to go see a show, usually a comedian up at Casino Rama. We try to get there early enough to avoid the dinner rush, and to find close to the entrance parking that will allow us to leave the venue promptly once it’s all over. Normally we go between May and October, before the time change, but we lucked out this year, no snow, no heavy rains, not bitterly cold out. It was a very pleasant time. Good seats that weren’t multiple hundreds of dollars a piece. Clear audio, big screens, central lone figure of the stage, well lit. It was great.

We ate dinner at the buffet, and I sampled more food than I probably should have, but I ate a tiny lunch yesterday in order to be able to eat so, so much while there. The food is pretty great for a buffet, and it has so many options you’d be hard done by to eat one of everything they have. Fountain drinks are a tad small, but I guess most folks are there to “drink”, not slurp a soda while they stuff themselves silly prior to a show.

The Casino is bright, clean, and has a bunch of restaurants in it. We don’t bother with reservations so we don’t eat at the other spots on the grounds. The buffet itself suits us to a T. We usually have a bit of free time to wander around the atrium, or look through the gift shop, and watch other people gambling. I like that the washrooms are large, bright, and clean. And that there are several of them all around the casino floor.

The seats in the theater are fairly comfortable. It’s a wide open space, so the stage is never obscured. We’ve sat in the mezzanine before, and in the mid their seats a bit closer to the floor. All of them have been perfectly fine. Prices have always been great for seats at Rama.

It’s a bit of a drive to get to Orillia from our house, but gave us a chance to talk without our children eaves dropping and asking questions about who, or what we are trying to discuss. Which is nice. Very pleasant. Do recommend! Five stars.

We got home after midnight, which is late for us. So I’m tired, and we have a trailer to fill with leaves today from my inlaws front yard. Oh boy! Back, and thighs are going to hurt come Monday that’s for sure. Catch you on the flip side.
