That seems to be the case everywhere unfortunately. My wife and I can't go out to dinner and have a couple drinks a piece without it being under $100 these days and we live in a pretty average cost of living area. Did I hear that they shut down the Trump TaJ Mahal? That's the casino we stopped at when we were out there.

Oh WOW! Yes the Taj.. That's where we stayed and spent the night. It's now called the Hard Rock.. Hard Rock bought it maybe around 2015-2020.. somewhere in there.
We spent about $250 on the room (300+ after taxes and fees) then $500+ on drinks and food - FOR ONE STINKING NIGHT! Oh well. Good thing we aren't gamblers, or maybe we should have. lol
Dang, that is crazy! At least you had a good time though! It's really getting ridiculous though. It's almost cheaper to improve your oasis at home and just drink there. You lose a bit of the social aspect I guess...
Very true.. And we used to go out for drinks and meals 2-3 times a week. Not anymore. We are improving our Martini making skills and saving a ton.
You know, I have never had a martini, but if you learn to make a killer Old Fashioned, I might have to track that lake house down and you might never get rid of me!
My dad make a great Old Fashioned.. I believe his go to is Makers Mark.
That sounds delicious! I am thinking about having one of those myself this evening. We are hitting a local bbq place for dinner then a concert at our local venue with my father in law.
