Fun Fact about Patrick?! He has been to Las Vegas 11 times!! Patrick loves the atmosphere of Vegas, including the sounds and the view. With Vegas in mind, but looking a little closer to home, Patrick found himself wanting to go to Horseshoe Casino! When asked about an outing to make the afternoon one to remember, Patrick asked if his brother could join him at the casino for a delicious meal.
The Dreamweaver team reached out to Patrick’s brother and after inquiring about an outing, it was determined that it would be best to have Patrick come to his brother’s facility. Patrick noted the most important element of his Dream was to see his brother, so we arranged to bring Patrick to his brother for lunch!
On the big day, Patrick and his entourage piled into a limo to be transported in style! With the help of one of our fabulous volunteers, Mary, Patrick was on his way to meet his brother for a delicious lunch! Our friends at St. Joseph Villa graciously provided a room to allow the group to dine privately. And of course, the room was decorated with Husker décor, Patrick’s favorite team! Patrick, his group and most importantly, his brother enjoyed large juicy steaks from Cascio’s and indulged in a rich dessert! The food was fantastic however nothing could compare to the time Patrick got to spend with his brother!
Then, as if the afternoon couldn’t get any better, Patrick was off to the casino! Once he arrived, Patrick soaked in the bright lights and the noises. Patrick had a blast playing the slot machines and walked out of the casino doors with gaming profits in his pocket! Patrick plans to indulge his winnings and purchase a Bon Jovi CD! Better, and more long-lasting than that however, Patrick is thrilled to have made new memories of lunching with his brother and a casino experience.
