We’ve returned from our Vegas weekend. We aren’t any richer, but we aren’t any poorer either. We only gambled away three or four bills, which ain’t bad for high rollers like us. And those bills were George Washingtons, not Ben Franklins. Doni got bumped on her flight home and got a $200 voucher, so the way I figure it we won $200.<\/p>\n
I enjoyed the trip more than I thought I would. I must have been having a pretty good time; we stayed out until 1:00 every night, which is 3:00 KC time. Quite wacky for us. I thought about calling the Brooksider and seeing if they could kick me out over the phone, since I will almost certainly never stay out that late here. We saw a concert at Mandalay Bay hotel while we were there, and THAT was cool. Rather strange venue; they had a big stage out by the swimming beach, and they gave you towels to sit on when you came in. There’s a very good chance my knees will never straighten back out from sitting on the ground for that long. Actually, we sat through the Gin Blossoms and then went up front and stood in the pool for the Spin Doctors. Very loud and a little wet, but fun. We took a tour to the Hoover Dam too; that was very cool but we’d already seen it so nothing new.<\/p>\n
