Past Perfect
In the article above, the writer recounts � in the past tense, naturally enough � her maiden experience at a casino.
The use of the simple past in the last sentence, however, is non-standard: since the realization that she had �had enough� took place before her suggestion to H that they leave, she should have used the past perfect: I had had enough of the casino.
