So...I'm back from the city of lost wages. LOST is correct. I came back with very few winnings. ($20 bucks here and there...but I LOST IT quickly after I won it.)
The important thing is that I RELAXED! No dishes, no laundry, no boring meetings, no e-mail, no schedules...Just plain FUN!
We checked into the Flamingo pretty late so we ended up with a smoking room the first night. It was like sleeping in the bottom of a dirty ash tray. YUK! The hotel changed our rooms the second day. Much better. We weren't extremely pleased with the Flamingo - but the price was right (free). My favorite place to stay is definitely Harrah's.
If I had my camera in Vegas, I would have photographed the following:
* Me and Tracy standing in line for 20 minutes just to get into the Coach store.
* The 20-minute line to check out of the Coach store.
* The 30-minute line to get into the parking lot of the outlet mall.
* The 20-minute taxi cab line that snaked through a million line esses.
* My straight flush on one of the video poker machines.
* Tracy's $400 win on Reels O'Dublin.
* The bar at Nine Fine Irishmen in New York New York casino.
* My pina coladas at Paris casino.
* My EMPTY wallet at the airport.
Glad to be back.
P.S. SHOE HEAVEN
We found two Zappos.com outlet stores in Vegas. It was very fun. We spent about an hour at each one trying on shoes. We did not purchase any, but I'd go back...just to see if the shoe karma is good.
About Me
- Anonymous Farm Wife
- "The cattle are out!" The excuse I frequently heard from my farmer/rancher boyfriend (now spouse of 18 years) as we courted. He was almost always late to dates. But I stuck around because he made (makes) life very interesting. Gonna be late? Say, "the cattle are out. Gotta put em up and they're not cooperatin'."

Norman - quiltnut is correct. It is just sick and wrong not to use the free rooms in Vegas.
Girls trips are pretty fun if you need someone to share your FREE room! Just holler.
Happy New Year.
