Thanks for thinking about me. Once wife gets me out of debtors jail I will be flying back. :)

Flight gets in tomorrow evening so hopefully any ice can hold off till we get home. Will be nice to be tracking once again. Just never found the time between my bouts of losing money. 

Well, as long as you don't have to come home in a barrel from an unsuccessful venture in Vegas!! :lol:

But seriously, safe travels, and hope you had a great trip!  And here's to having some good tracking once you're back in the area!

My first trip to vegas was in 1994. I was in my 20s and didn't have a lot of money but a group of 15 of us stayed at the old school Sahara. Of course I lost all the money i brought but it was a total blast. Well... a blast until i flew back to Denver and got to my car... I had a neat option with keyless entry so i always locked my keys in the car so I didnt have to worry about my keys. Which works fantastic until you leave an interior light on for 4 days and it kills the battery. So i sat freezing in the outer airport parking lot for over an hour waiting for a locksmith. When i say freezing i mean it was like 5 degrees outside. Lol. And I didnt have any money so.... I had to leave my suitcase, wallet, and watch with the lock guy as collateral and drive 160 miles round trip the next day to get my stuff back and pay the guy. Lol. What a disaster.

Man that sucks, in a sort of ironic twisted kind of way!  Sounds like something out of that movie "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" (Steve Martin & John Candy)!!

I've never been to Vegas myself, but my brother has gone a couple of times.  He (and others) said it's one of those places you really need to see at least just once in your life.  Just to experience the lights, casinos, whatever.  I don't know how much he ever won or lost, but it wasn't much either way from what he said.

Somehow reminds me of the first time I went to New Orleans, with a friend while in grad school (was in Atlanta at the time).  For years, my dad had pestered me that I should visit there, telling me what a neat town it is (he had been there many times when he was younger), and especially since I was relatively close to go there.  While there, I called him from a pay phone (yes, pay phone...had no cell phone in the mid '90s!) and said "Guess where I am right now?" which I think had him slightly concerned so when he asked where, I said "I'm looking out over the Mississippi River, sipping a beer!".  To which he replied "Ah, so you *finally* made it to New Orleans!!"  I didn't even have to mention the location, he knew.  I agree with him by the way, a very neat town and very unique!

Done. You lost again. I'll PM you with my address. $40 to cover bets and $40 handlers fee should cover it. I suggest overnighting that because there is 100 % interest rate charged daily. 

I feel like you should still front me money because I provide lols.  that promotes good health and well being which you can't put a price tag on.  So now please go to the blackjack and split the two 10s the dealer just gave you.  After that hit the poker table and go all in on the two and seven hole cards to out bluff everyone.
