We enjoy playing games, and casino games are no exception. We make very small bets, which allows us to play for a long time. Having fun and being able to play for a long time without losing bunches of money is our goal. Winning is just the icing on the cake, and this time there was plenty of icing. See figure 1
Fig. 1: That's 52,850 pennies, or $528.50. And all I had to do was press a button!
We met the Las Vegas division of the family for dinner that evening. It was wonderful to see everyone... my sister-in-law & nieces & great nephews & great niece.
Spending time with them makes me happy. They're just-plain-fun AND they remind me of the good times I had growing up... holidays and family birthdays and drawing with chalk on the sidewalk.
After dinner, and more gaming, we went to a late night show at our hotel. We were comped tickets for a vampire-themed "erotic" show. It was pretty silly, but still entertaining. The eroticism didn't approach the naughtiness you'd find in a Christina Aguilara video, which was both a relief and a disappointment.
After the show we went to a 70's themed nightclub, complete with pounding disco and a light up dance floor a la Saturday Night Fever. Fun! And then more gambling! What a night!
I had to take a picture of this classic L.V. sign. Las Vegas isn't everyone's cup o' joe -- most of our friends claim to not even like the place -- but I think it's heaps o' fun.
After meeting family today for lunch we left Las Vegas. We drove for several hours through intermittently sunny and stormy desert, and saw the most amazing rainbows. We tried to take pictures, but they don't tell the whole rainbow story. See figure 2
Fig. 2: This is actually a ground-to-ground double rainbow, but you can't see it here. Rats!
When the dessert and scrub gave way to pine trees we were very, very, happy. Tonight we're in Williams, AZ, the evening air is crisp, and our summer vacation continues to rock.
