Good travel day. Well done to Mandie scoring a great seat!
You did really well lasting after that flight, the latest we ever lasted, due to flight times, was 11pm local time and we felt we were melting into the carpets!
Have a fab day today!

You frighten me, Tractor Boy. What could possibly go wrong?

Glad you got there ok with little hassle. Dan did so well with the long drive. Extremely good service to get vouchers for having to wait - the staff must have been very frazzled, and a result to get two lots - maybe that's a sign you should try a wager or two in Vegas!

Good start enjoy every second of the holiday with the boys
Our grandson is 17 and joining the army in September going to be doing combat Medic training - we are also proud he did all the research himself and was adamant this was what he wanted to do

Thoroughly enjoying reading along. Sounds as though a good time is being had by all so far. And an excellent result on snagging the $200 dining credit!

Mandie and I never gamble, not even on the Lotteries. I am sure that you remember Mandie’s appalling attempt to gamble at Caesars last time!

A reminder!

Neither Mandie nor I ever bet on anything other than the occasional work sweepstake, no tables, slots, bookmakers or anything else. If we cannot be the ones setting the odds, then we ain’t partaking.
However.. this is Vegas and Mandie more than I, was determined to be a ‘Highroller’.. and apparently, Caesars is the joint to do it in. She was straight up to the Cashiers and purchased Chips.. well actually it was a Chip, a $1 one as a Souvenir. The cashier had a look of utter bemusement and/or distain.


Our fabled $1 chip.. a joint financial venture and now in Mandie’s Scrapbook, I think..

Mandie then walked up to one of the Roulette Tables, where she asked the Croupier Guy how things were done. He kindly explained the rules very patiently, at which time Mandie told him she wanted $5 of credit, benevolently upgraded by me to $10. The Croupier guy explained that the minimum stake was $25 to which Mandie wisely shook her head, said “I am not paying that much” and walked off.
This signalled the end of mine and Mandie’s gambling career. It would seem that we are both a little ‘Risk Averse’. We moved on, head held high and with integrity intact.
