Well, here we are in Las Vegas. We arrived yesterday and attending a wedding today. The best man in our wedding’s daughter is getting married. So, here we are.
We gambled a little last night. My husband and I both broke even. I like Wheel of Fortune, while he heads for the Black Jack table. He actually came from the table $100 ahead. Sadly, this morning while I was at the spa - he is now in the negative. There’s always tonight! Gambling…what a racket. Very few get lucky and leave the casino with a jackpot.
I’ll tell you what you can count on at a nice Casino Resort and that is good food. There are some amazing restaurants here with high caliber chefs. As a matter of fact, sometimes you can’t even get in to be seated. Planning and reservations are a must, which we have not mastered yet, but we fare well.
My son attended a two year academic program in Utah and we would have to fly into Vegas, rent a car and drive to go see him. Hence, we became a little familiar with Las Vegas. Our hotel of choice is the Aria. Shopping is very pricey here, so I don’t do much of that, but I sure enjoy a spa day.
This evening we will witness two become one.
My husband and I will be married 35 years this August. I would have to say the motto for my marriage has been “through thick and through thin.”
It ain’t easy
Vegas strikes me as an odd place.
ReplyDeleteI've never been and am never likely to go (I haven't even been to the US) and gambling strikes me as being a mug's game.
Visiting from Facing The Mountain
At the risk of being offensive…we loathed Vegas when we had to transit to the Grand Canyon. When we were on the bus to the airport everyone was talking about how much they’d lost (no one won apparently)…they didn’t quite believe that we’d lost $0 because we hadn’t even placed a bet or played the pokies.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we’d have enjoyed it more if we’d changed our mindset and just enjoyed the lights?
