Michie's Adventures at Soaring Eagle Casino

Hi, it’s me Michie the Fishie again!  I want to tell you about my trip to the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort.  My trip to Mt. Pleasant went swimmingly.  I couldn’t believe how impressive this place looked when I pulled up.  

It’s a big property.  They have 514 guest rooms and suites and over 70,000 square feet of meeting space.  Plus the resort is connected to one of the largest casinos in the state! 
The resort has a lot of things to do and choose from.  They have a full service spa, exercise room, beauty salon, indoor pool, outdoor Jacuzzi, three restaurants, a deli a couple lounges and also National Headliner Entertainment!  They’ve had people like Bill Cosby, Betty White, Tony Bennett, Rascal Flatts, even Toby Keith and the band Chicago
I wonder if Hootie and the Blowfish are coming here any time soon.

I decided to pass some time in the indoor heated pool.  The pool is unique in that it has an underwater sound system.  Coming from someone that spends an awful lot of time underwater, I really appreciate that feature.  The pool attendant literally had to fish me out of the pool so that I wouldn’t be late for my spa appointment. 
Ahhhh, there’s nothing like unwinding in the spa with a nice Seaweed Facial to get you ready for a night full of fun.
After my facial, Adam, one of the friendly Bellmen at the resort took me and my luggage up to my room.
He had the nerve to tell me that he thought I overpacked, but I don’t think you can ever be too prepared.
Holy Mackerel!  What a nice room!! 
I’ve got a room with a beautiful king size bed and my own personal Jacuzzi!  A fish can get used to accommodations like this! 
I can’t believe it!  My room actually has a piano in it! 
They must save rooms like this for the big fish they get staying here!  You know what they say…you can tune a piano but you can’t tuna fish!!  Heehee that’s a little fish humor…

I decided to go check out the restaurants to get a bite to eat. On my way to the restaurants I stopped to enjoy this beautiful Poinsettia Tree in the Grand Foyer.  
I couldn’t help but think that this would be a great place to have a holiday party, I’m sure the staff would make your planning so easy that it wouldn’t make you crabby. 
So now off to dinner, I thought I’d go to the Firefly Buffet and enjoy a nice leisurely meal until I noticed this sign….
AAAACK!!!  Seafoood Extravaganza?!!  Nobody warned me about that!  I’m going to the steakhouse instead! 
Ok, the Siniikaung Steakhouse looks like a better choice for me. What a nice menu…steaks, chops, vegetarian, a nice wine list to choose from and wait a minute…grilled Salmon??!!  Eeeek! I’m getting out of here and ordering room service!

I got a call from a friend of mine who invited me to meet them for a nightcap in the Talon Night Club. I didn’t feel like a fish out of water. 

What a great experience I had at the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort.  I really got schooled on how much there is to do and see there.  Check it out for yourself at www.soaringeaglecasino.com or call Julie at 989-775-5314 to plan your visit!  Trust me, you won’t feel like a little fish in a big pond, you’ll feel right at home!
