Girls shopping trip in the works

Well, BF leaves to go mountain climbing in the Alps for 2 weeks in April. I will have his car, so I was thinking of budgeting in a girls trip to the Seattle Premium Outlet mall. :) I already ran the numbers and I can squeeze out a $150 clothing budget for April. My sister and 2 or 3 other friends are interested in going, so it could be a ton of fun.

There was also talk about sharing a room at the Tulalip Resort (cost would be about $60/person), and have a total girls night at the casino & bar.

I’m definitely all for going shopping, but I’m not sure my budget can handle the additional cost of staying overnight. It seems a little silly since we could just drive back across the border. Still, it would be a lot of fun to get dressed up and have fun for just one night.

I would estimate (not including shopping) that if we stayed overnight, the trip would end up costing $150 each? $60 for the room, plus meals, drinks and a bit of gambling money.
