Mini Gettaway With The Family To The Wind Creek Casino :)

Photobucket Hey ya'll! I hope your weekends went well! Mine certainly did :) I went with my family to the Wind Creek Hotel and Casino in Atmore Alabama. I have to say I was a little skeptical about going just because Atmore isn't exactly the city that never sleeps, there's not much going on and if you're passing through hoping to find a mall you will be very disappointed and possibly out of gas.. trust me, I've been there lol Anyways we were only able to stay one night because we all had to work but it was still very nice and enjoyable. We left the house around 1:30, dropped off my Yorkie, Minnie at my aunts house in Loxely and arrived at the hotel around 3. Its only about and hour or so away from our house but it was just nice to getaway from the norm for the night, sometimes you just need to get away ya know? Even if its only an hour away and for 24 hours. When we got to our room I was surprised to see how nice the rooms were. The walls were covered in dark wood paneling and the floors were the color of my overnight bag. The bathroom was quite inviting, it had a glassed in shower accompanied by stone walls and that soft lighting that makes you look like a million bucks. The accent chairs were a really pretty soft lime green and positioned by the window. The beds were perfectly pressed and dressed with plush white duvets topped off with three white fluffy pillows and to make it even better, we were on the seventh floor overlooking the pool. Of course the first thing I did was put my stuff down and jumped into the bed for a mid evening nap.

While the rents are away the fashionista will play! lol well read, Harper's Bazaar is one of my favorites :)


Photobucket The perfect little area to get ready for a night of dinner drinks and gambling! :)

All dressed up and ready to go! I wore my blazer from Charlotte russe, sequined tank also from there. My jeans are BKE, shoes (I know you cant see them but they're nude platforms) from Polish and I found this bag at Tj's I am in love with it! We decided to have dinner a little late so when we got to the restaurant we wanted to eat at called Fire, we were disappointed to find out it was already closed so we had to settle for the buffet which was alright but definitely not worth taking pictures of or recommending.

After dinner we headed to the casino where the alcoholic drinks are free all night! AWESOME! I had a strawberry daiquiri and an Irish cream both were delicious. My favorite slot machine is the sex and the city penny machine so much fun! I lovee playing it because when you get a bonus it plays different scenes from the show and Mr. Big talks to you which makes me smile every time ;)

We finally went up to the room around 1:35 and I was still wired from the Irish coffee and the fact that I had a day at the spa planned later that morning so sleeping was kind of out of the question.
Mom caught me reading my "bible" haha

Photobucket The next morning I woke up around nine had breakfast at the Grill, a vegetarian omelet made with just egg whites and toast and then retreated to the spa :)
PhotobucketTheir spa was absolutely gorgeous! It was only $18 for a whole spa day, that includes all the spa amenities and the pool which I couldn't experience because it would not stop raining but that's not bad at all! Anyways when they took me back, I walked through tall glass doors and into a room with gold bead curtains and olive colored walls. The sitting area was so beautiful, they had bamboo plants everywhere, a relaxing stoned waterfall and comfy white couches with oxblood decorative pillows. I walked through some more glassed doors and found the hot tub with a cold bath as well. It was mosaic walls with candles every where, very luxurious I think the hot tub was my favorite part lol After spending way to much time in the hot tub I went around the corner and found the hallway with the steam room and the sauna both were very zen and relaxing I'm a sucker for a steam room because I love the detoxifying process so I was in heaven! Pictures from left to right; the locker and preparation room, a little room to get ready after your done with your spa experience, the gorgeous sitting area, the hot tub and cold bath room, the hallway with the sauna and steam room. The whole experience was wonderful I felt so relaxed and brand new afterwards and the people were so nice I'll definitely be going back soon!

Photobucket The gift shop had OPI nail polish for sale so I bought the mini set from the Germany Collection, so excited to use these! Colors from left to right; Don't pretzel my buttons, Nein! Nein! Nein! OK fine!, Unfor-greta-bly blue, Suzi and the 7 dusseldorfs.

Photobucket Well I hope you enjoyed this post about my experience at the Wind Creek Hotel and Casino, it was not what I had expected it to be, I was very much surprised and I definitely recommend you guys to check it out and experience it for yourselves if you're ever in the area, especially the spa and pool! The Wind Creek Casino is located halfway between Mobile and Pensacola in Atmore Alabama on 303 Poarch Road. Its really hard to miss its kind of out in the middle of nowhere and you will be able to see it miles away but I guarantee you will enjoy your visit! Thank you so much for reading and I hope you have a great week! Talk you you guys again soon :) xoEm
