Hello Vegas gals!! Lunch was with Donna and Jane. Amy was sick and couldn't make it after all. Poor thing, she has pneumonia!

Anyway, we had a really nice time. It was fun chatting with them again. Donna looked great. Very classy and Vegas like. Jane looked good as always.

Lunch was great. The Burger Bar was a fun place. Donna was so sweet! She treated Jane and I to lunch and to a private tour of Shark Reef afterward. I really enjoyed it. Thanks Donna!!!!!

Yes, Dawn is a Diva through and through! A great role model for up and coming Divas!

Glad you had a great time with Donna and Jane. Amy--sorry you're sick--feel better!

You are so welcome, Beth. It was really fun seeing you two in person again! Poor Amy, I hope she recovers in time to enjoy part of her holiday weekend.

Everyone - you are going to have a fabulous time in June, Vegas is so amazing. And I didn't even see it lit up at night the way you will! The big intersection as you enter the strip is like Times Square on steroids. And everything is bigger than you can imagine. I wish I had worn a pedometer today so I'd know how many steps I took - and I never left Mandalay Bay!

I see why Beth says you will need comfortable shoes. She's not kidding.

We were having so much fun that Beth and Jane wished they could play hookey but both really had to return to real life (Beth to pick up her kids and Jane to a work meeting). I had a little planned casino time. So many machines! And they're all colorful and singing out, doing a little song and dance vying for my money. My fantasy is I'll put a dollar into a machine and it will spit out a million. I was drawn to a $1 machine because it had a payout of 6 or 7 figures. It said something about three dollars so I fed it three dollars. And with three quick tries, there went that money!

I quickly moved on to the penny machines. I found a Leonardo one that had paintings and jewels. Okay, I would rather stare at those than some donkeys and cherries. I fed it $5. I could barely understand how it determined when I won and when I lost but I was doing some winning.

Then some Italian girls came and sat down two seats over from me. One was yelling into her cell and they all three were smoking. I looked over and realized they weren’t even playing the slot machines – they were just using this as a place to sit and smoke and drink. But I didn't want to leave my machine.

Anyway, I was playing along, not winning, and then it said something about how I was a random winner. It wasn’t like the right paintings lined up or anything – but it more than doubled my money.

That seemed like a good time to move on.

I found the video poker which to me takes more skill than these slot machines (or maybe I just don’t understand them). I know poker, so I did jacks or better. I was distracted by some college kids behind me. They hit some jackpot on their slot machine and it was spinning and spinning. Every 30 seconds the guy would say, “it’s still f-ing going!” Then he’d say to the girl, “You’re buying drinks!” They were just a shade short of screaming. I figured maybe this is what you do when you win big. You let everyone know.

After what must have been 15 minutes of this, the machine finally stopped. We were all curious to see what they’d won. It had to be big money. $10,000? $50,000? No. $50.

They stopped screaming.

Anyway, returning to my poker, I was winning enough to double my money (hey, much better than current CD rates!), when I thought I should consult my phone to see what time it was. It was 5:15 and my flight was 5:45! I fell victim to the well-known “no-clock” policy!

I cashed out, hopped in a cab. The doorman said to take Tropicana to get to the airport fast. The cab driver thought that meant go to the Tropicana club first, but I managed to straighten him out. Happily, no one was flying out of Vegas this weekend and the security line was empty. I made it on the flight with a few minutes to spare.

As we climbed into the air, I looked out the window and saw Mandalay Bay shimmering in all her goldness in the sunset. I wondered who was sitting at my lucky poker machine now... and would they win the jackpot?

Maybe it'll be one of you.

aahhh Donna.. that was a great trip review!
It is fun, isn't it. And yes, i always have a "my machine".
I'm glad you had such a great trip.
Vegas has great shopping, wonderful food.. and many oppurtunies for big fun.
My DH always reminds me when i'm pouting i lost... he says... dawn.. they don't build those beautiful casinos and give you all the free things on people winning. he's sooooo true!

CheryL... rooM ServiCe BaBeY! You spoiled me with the magic of the Grand.

Beth...just a box of hair dye, a pair of scissors and a tube of Iman red lipstick....

I'm so glad you all had a wonderful time.

 

[mommaU4]

Great mini TR Donna!! See, I think you'd do well spending several days in Vegas. Next time for sure.

I love this line: "I fell victim to the well-known “no-clock” policy!" Told ya, it works! lol That would make a cute tag for you too.

Thanks for sharing how the rest of your day went.

 

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Thanks, Beth. I hope you feel better (I hope it wasn't the humidity in Shark Reef...).

 

[jordansmomma]

Speaking of winnings in vegas.

What is everyone's practice on that?

If you win do you play with those winnings?
Or do you cash them out and save them, then put new money in?
Or are your winnings stolen by evil monKeys?

for me, if it's a win of over 20 dollars i cash it out and save it.
then when i go home i turn them in and go home with a little money for the next trip.

but i've had trips when i was sssqqquuueeellloorrrring to Bob.. give me 20 more.. this is a LucKy machine.. i can teLL!

 

[mommaU4]

Thanks, Beth. I hope you feel better (I hope it wasn't the humidity in Shark Reef...).

Oh no, not at all. I think since it's been hotter, I need to increase my water intake. I rarely drink water anymore and I need to.

Alright i made a page for Little Churro on Facebook.

I sent him a friend's request.

Winnings?? What winnings? I never win. But if I did, I'm sure it would then be stolen by the evil monkeys.



Morning Vegas gals!!

 

[jordansmomma]

Morning girls

I am so tired today!
The lip sync last night was so much fun!

We are all moving along so slow today!
The boys are getting ready so we can go to the carnival--have I mentioned I hate carnivals? Carnival rides are the worst!

Winnings....I never win anything.......those darn evil monkeys laugh and me and go running away with my money!!

 

[fairykin]

We played Keno on our first trip to vegas.. and never won a dime.. my husband was like.. well hhmmmm.
our friends came up and said.. so how do you play this game Keno?
Bob said... well.. a cute girl comes up..and you give her some money..then she wanders off.. and you never see your money again.

The first time we ever went to vegas we were such little country folk.. like goLLLLeY... wOw!
i guess i always carry that part of me inside

So when we go to vegas... i'm going to go to the Titanic exhibit.. and to the Wax Museum.. just thought i'd throw it out there.. don't know if anyone is interested or not.

How is everyone's weekend going? Everyone is coming to our home tomorrow for bbq and homemade ice cream. Monday is the local balloon festival so the kids and grandkids will go to that.
