First fun filled day in fabulous Las Vegas
We arrived in Vegas yesterday morning...early morning...we flew out of Dallas at 7:30am and because of the time difference we arrived around 8:30. We got to the Flamingo and checked in. We decided to upgrade to a GO room since it was only $30 more a night. It is pretty cool. Built into the bathroom mirror there is a TV that you can watch while taking a shower or getting ready or while you are...you know. [;)]
We met up with our friends and went over to Caesar's Palace. Eric played the $5 Wheel of Fortune slot machine and was turning red when the money was dwindling down. He finally asked me to spin the reels and I actually got a Free Spin and won his money back plus $20. So of course he cashed out and walked away. Then we decided to hang out at O'Sheas for a while where I tried the "Hundred or Nothing" machine and lost...shocking, I know. I played a few slots but I think I am luckier at roulette. Last night we went over to Bill's Casino next door to the Flamingo and I played a little and hit 2 of my numbers...8 and 23, they always hit at some point so I play those a lot. I went away with $20 more than I sat down with, Not much but I had fun playing. Eric is doing well on blackjack. I am not sure how much he is up but he had a winning streak last night and had a good time.
We ate at Toby Keith's Bar and Grill last night. Pretty fun place. The drinks are served in mason jars. So even though I am several states away I felt at home!
Well, I am about to get ready for another exciting day of gambling and good times. Wish us luck!
I swear I am not addicted to TV…I am however addicted to VEGAS
Well we have decided to go to Vegas...AGAIN. I swear we are addicted to that town. A whole group of friends are going in a few weeks and we didn't want to miss the fun. We are going to New Orleans in May for a wedding and we want to go to Chicago in July so we were trying to space out the vacations but we just couldn't pass up a trip to Vegas. We tried fighting the temptation but lost the battle.
My mom had surgery last week and she is doing really well. She has been staying with us for the past week since her doctor is in Dallas and should anything go wrong or start hurting she would be here instead of Diboll which is 3 hours away.
Marin is still doing her ballet classes although she still doesn't do all the moves. But she loves going since they always get some kind of candy or trinket at the end of the class. She finally got her uniform in which is just a black leotard, pink tights and a pink tutu but it is adorable.
I told myself a long time ago I would not watch the Bachelor anymore but I found myself getting sucked in this season. The other night when he dumped that girl on national TV it was the last straw for me. I cannot in good faith watch a TV show that would allow that type of humiliation be put onto someone. I know she signed up for the show and blah blah blah BUT noone deserves to be put through that. SHAME ON YOU ABC!!
Has anyone been watching American Idol? I am ready for the wild card show tonight. I hope Anoop does well. I don't normally vote. I just enjoy watching the show but I might pick up the phone if Anoop rocks it tonight!
