Just got back from a long Vegas Trip. My second time going and gotta say that this time was incredibly fun. The last time I went for 5 days, but I was sick from food poisoning the last 3 days. Spent over 30 some hours curled in a ball in our hotel room. It was a horrible trip. So much so that I almost decided to stay home this time instead of going with the wife (National Postal Union Conference). Glad I decided to go at the last minute.

Went there with $500 to lose. That was the set amount I imposed on myself. No more than $500 (or $50 a day) I would gamble away. I came back home and only lost $95, so I was more than happy about that. Days of entertainment and gambling on $95? Do that every time !!!

If you have never gone you must go at least once. Stay at the quad (where they filmed Oceans Eleven) ... The corner of Flamingo Rd and Vegas where the Flamingo, Bally's, Ceasers Palace and the Bellagio hotels are and you won't regret it. And upgrade to the hotel room with the spa inside!!!

Anyway ... of now to watch the first episode of the new Flash season (I was able to avoid any spoilers the entire time ... though it was close when my wife was getting a picture with Vegas Wookie and he almost blurted something out  Angry

I love Vegas - I had my bachelor party there for a weekend and I've actually been to a Star Trek convention there!  Glad you had a much better time this trip.  Ten days!  I would go broke.   Cheesy   Yep - only losing $95 is definitely a win!

Thanks, and yes, this trip was above and beyond the last.  Cheesy

And the ten days is kind of a stretch in actuality. I can't or shouldn't count the flight there and back as a day. Hell I left at 4 AM on the tenth day so I didn't do any gambling on that day, other than risking my life talking to people who were also up at that hour. I mean 4 AM Vegas time is like 7 AM Beach time, so I would be all poppy and bubbly (Yes, my natural state believe it or not  Tongue ...  Grin) and all those workers who are just dragging because it is almost the end of their shift or the visitors that stayed up all night were almost like the Walking Dead. So an entire hotel/casino full of closed eyed, draggin' ass people get invaded by this happy, bouncy, "Goooooood Morning all" type of person ... yeah, lokking back, I am surprised I made it out.

And I was taking my time as well. I wouldn't stay on the floor for more than a couple hours at a time and I never stayed more than 5 hours a day at the tables, soooo.
