We spent a lot of money on shopping and food, but mostly food because we're serial foodies. So we thought, how about we try to win back some of that money we spent? So off we went to the Casino in Puerto Madero.

| Close Enough! |

| This is NOT the casino, but I thought it looked cool anyway. |
The interior of the casino was very nice! The last time, we were in a casino was at the Miccosukee Indian Resort in Miami, FL. I didn't get rich there either, but I had fun, which is exactly what we came here to do.
We had to pass through a security checkpoint, and I had so much junk in my pockets that the guard actually laughed. I was really embarrassed! We were also told that we weren't allowed to take photos beyond the checkpoint. Bummer! Fortunately, Zach managed to snap this photo of me without getting caught.

Was it fun? Yes! I don't know jack about poker so I avoided that completely. The last thing I needed was to owe anyone money. Playing the machines was a lot more fun. We each invested 10 pesos on separate machines and we ended up earning 50 pesos each after playing for only twenty minutes. Then we both got a bit ambitious. We really wanted to earn 2,000 pesos. Unfortunately, we lost what little money we earned in the blink of an eye.
Since we were nearing the end of our trip, we didn't want to risk gambling away a bunch of money. So we decided to leave. Then I decided that we should at least try to earn some of the money we lost.
Zach and I prayed to his dearly departed grandmother, who loved to gamble, and would have enjoyed the casino with us. Well, it paid off and we managed to recover what we'd lost and win an extra 25 pesos. Granted, in USD, that money isn't worth a whole lot, but it's better than nothing.

After the casino, we headed to the Alto Palermo Mall for some KFC and to do a little window shopping.
After pigging out on some crispy fried chicken, some fries and some Cole slaw, we decided to look around the mall. We actually found two books in English, and of course, we bought them.
This was our last night at the hotel and we weren't sure when we'd visit B.A. again, so we decided to go to Ugi's and order ourselves some of their delicious pizza.

| We figured it couldn't help to compliment the pizza with some KFC side orders too |
I didn't mind pigging out, especially since we weren't going to find this quality of food when we went back to Cordoba. One thing was certain, both of our butts would have to be glued to our stationary bike when we got home.
