Viva Las Vegas

We spent our first week in Vegas relaxing after the Frolic. Our second week was spent hitting the world famous Las Vegas Casino's!

I'm not sure what it is about the air in Las Vegas but this whole week went by in a blur of gambling and cocktail lounges.

Rather than tell you every little detail I will just give you a highlight or two and tell you how much we lost playing the dollar slots at each hotel.

We won some, we lost some, but mostly we lost. Reminds me of a slogan I once heard in Hawaii. "Thanks for visiting...leave all your money."

 

On our first night out, our first stop was the world-famous Flamingo Hotel.

Toni Braxton was performing and we lost a total of $307 at the slots!

 

Yes, we even went to the Hooters Casino! They have a good 24 hour coffee shop there.

And, of course, after we were done with our coffee we gambled and lost another $155.

 

But our visit to Vegas did not end there… We went to the Liberace Museum!

We actually didn't lose any money here except the cost of admission. It was worth it though.

 

We absolutely fell in love with the Luxor Hotel until we lost another $178.

 

And New York New York where Lady Liberty was dressed up in a East Coast jersey for the big NBA All Star Game! (We watched the game from the Sport's Book there - and we're kinda glad our team - the West - won!)

 

Ended up losing $50 at New York, New York. We should've placed a bet on our team instead of betting on those damn slots...again!

 

At one point I actually thought our luck had changed at the Tropicana. I was up nearly $170 but the winning streak was short lived. Actually only lost $20 here.

 

And finally, on our last day of seeing the strip...we dropped by Paris, Las Vegas for a pastry!

Total loses: $710. Pastry at Paris, Las Vegas....Priceless.
