... as you might have guessed, I don't have as much money as when I left. But it's not as bad as it could have been - about 2 hours before we left for home, I only had $100 left in my wallet. But in those last 120 minutes, I turned that $100 into $1400. I feel like a big winner, even though I really lost a few hundred dollars for the whole trip. I never played one hand of poker while I was out there - mostly blackjack and a slot machine here and there.
We had such a great time - we went to see two shows - Le Reve and The Fab Four. Le Reve is a show that was created by the founder of Cirque du Soleil. It was incredible - I don't even know how to explain it. Like most Cirque shows, there were a lot of performers on the stage at once - for this show, the stage was a ring of water, which they performed in, above, and sometimes even on. It's definitely something worth seeing, and we got $25 free slot play with our tickets, so that was even better!! The Fab Four was a Beatles impersonation show that was spot on! It was almost like seeing the real thing. They came out with their mop tops and sang some early stuff like "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "I Should Have Known Better" (my personal favorite), donned Sgt. Pepper gear and sang stuff like "With A Little Help From My Friends" and "A Day in the Life" (my other favorite from the show), and by the end of the show, they were doing the later stuff like "Hey Jude" and "Revolution". Great stuff - it's a show that I'd see again and again!! And we got half price tickets for this show too, which makes it that much better!!
Now I'm back home, and I have 2 and a half days left of vacation for the whole year - I guess I won't be taking any more trips for at least a few months!!

Tuck,
You have been to Vegas in twice in that last 6 months. Both times we hear well I just did not get a chance to play poker. We hear how "good" a poker player you are all the time. What are you scared that your fragile ego can not handle being beaten in Vegas. Would it knock you off your pedestal.
Now we see the truth.
bock bock!! :-)
it's not that i 'did not get a chance to play' - i just didn't feel like playing - i've been playing so much lately (both live and online) that i'd rather play something else.
so pfhtbthtbhtthbtthh!!!
Tuck...Did you at least fill up with some IN-N-OUT? You can't go to the West and not eat there! It's the bomb!!! DoubleDouble with Cheese and fries animal style!
