The lady dressed in the referee suit is actually the one that directs the balloons when they launch. They are the first to go up in the morning an they test the winds for the remainder of the balloons. This group of balloons is know as the dawn patrol. It is amazing how many people are there at 6:00am. I woke up early and decided to go across the street to the balloon launching field to see the balloons off. Not bad! I was up to $222 but didn’t walk away then as I knew I should. I didn’t win anything using the card but added another $15 and walked out of there with $136. I had to get a players card to get admitted for lunch and then just had to use up the $25 they give you with the card. We had to wait in line but it was worth it. A bunch of us went to the Sandia Casino for their $5 brunch.
