I just got back from a trip out there with a couple buddies. We had a great time and I can assure you that all we did was hop from table to table in casino to casino. We gambled for about 25 of the 40 hours we were there. When I walked in the door my wife asked me if I had fun. Yes I did have fun (thinking, ok she is not going to ask me about how much I lost). But then she brought the hammer down. I ducked and weaved but eventually was caught and had no other choice than to pull out everything I had left from my pocket.
This picture was it. There was $2.50 left and $2 of that wasn't even legal tender. It was all worth it. After all, I was just paying for the entertainment and Vegas earned a tidy profit for all their effort.
Can't wait to go back but need to be prepared next time.

Ah...I know this well...
From what I have learned about Vegas the slogan is based on this thought process...
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...
Most think that it is adult in nature and you're doing things you could never get away with anywhere else, etc., etc.
The truth is what happens in Vegas is 'you spend money' and what stays in Vegas is 'your money'.
Oh but what fun you have while doing it. I am partial to Blackjack at the HardRock myself.
Glad you had fun. I can't wait to go back, my free room vouchers are burning a hole in my pocket.
Take care...
Hi Steve,
Nice shot and great B&W converison!
Glad to hear you had a good time in Vegas. I've only ever been there once but I had a really good time as well. I don't think I came back with as much cash as you though! :-)
Cheers,
Barry
I think I'm a few hundred dollars up on my 'lifetime' investment in Vegas. Now it is about my most favourite city to drive away from - lots of great parks near-by!
