We arrived Friday morning at 8:30. My sister Angela flew in from Phoenix and we were able to meet up at the airport.
We spent Friday getting our hotels situated and finding out that a buffet breakfast at the Paris is not cheap. We spent $85 for two adults and three kids, although Travis is 13.
While Angela checked into the Bellagio, I hit the slots, and won $42. Breakfast was now reasonable.
The remainder of the day was set aside for the rehearsal and dinner.
After dinner we left the kids with Trudy's parents and hit the casino's with Angela.
Within a few hours I had burned through $100. Trudy had lost $50, only because she didn't play much.
Being that it was Halloween, I have to mention the crazy costumes.
G-rated was a referee with dark glasses and a blind walking cane.
PG rated was quite a few people dressed up as Sgt Dangle from "Reno 911".
R-rated was just about every 20 something woman. Skirts so high up there was nothing to the imagination, and blouses cut so low they met the bottom of the skirts. Hey really I'm not complaining, just reporting the facts.
X-rated was two girls, one was a life size penis, the other a life size vagina. I took a picture of these two on my cell phone, my phone has since crashed. I got a new one last night.
Trudy and I had been up since 3am and decided to go back to our room around midnight.
Before we made it from the Bellagio to the Paris, Angela called. She hit a $500 jackpot, then hit another $250 while talking to me.
She stayed up until 2am and hit a few more times. The following night she hit another $500+ at Planet Hollywood. Then while her flight was delayed on Sunday she hit another $300. That girl has the touch.
Saturday Jeff and Mia were married. The Bellagio photographer had them sign a modeling contract to use their wedding pics for advertisements. They are a good looking couple.
After the Reception, Trudy, Angela and I hit the casinos again. I was able to win $185 at Planet Hollywood, about the same time Angela hit her $500+. Trudy was still scoreless and gambling with some money Angela gave her. We went our separate ways at about 3am. Trudy went to bed and I stayed up hitting the slots at the Paris.
I burned through $100 by 5:30am, and only had a $100 bill from my earlier win. I said screw it and cashed into $20's. Within five minutes I hit a $325, and $275 win.
I immediately called Angela. (she was still up, can you blame her?)At the same time Trudy shows up bleary eyed to see when I was coming to bed. I showed her my winnings, and she let me be. That was my last win, and I burned another $50 at the airport.
We may head back to Las Vegas for my Fortieth birthday.
Here are a few pics of the wedding. The Chapel was pretty dark, so I had to enhance the lighting
