Las Vegas continued


CUDDLING A DAD EFIGY AFTER AN ALL YOU CAN EAT

It grows on you....

Like a leech.


You don't want it but sometimes it can do you good.

We've been to two shows so far: Greg London two nights ago and Vegas: The Show last night.... and they were absolutely brilliant. Best seats in the house right in the front row and neither of them cost more than $55 each (plus ruddy tax). We're off tonight to see something called Cirque de Soleil "O" which Liz says is a must-see. Big ask as the tickets cost twice more each than the previous two shows put together.

Found a brilliant pokie yesterday. Didn't lose once as every time we put in $3 we won a coke. Got bored.... .and a bit sick after a while so we tried another game.


NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO GET RID OF THE WRINKLES
WERE UNSUCCESSFUL
 Blackjack. $100 limit. I think the last time I played it was during lunch hour at Napier College between sleeps. Started with $100 and after half an hour of brilliant play ended up with $100. Mum said at one stage I had $145. Wish she'd told me at the time.... quit while you're winning is the best motto.

Within the next hour we've decided to.... gasp.... don't care if we lose so the $100 is up for grabs. Liz has decided to let me play with the cards this time.

Still cannot believe that we've managed to go right round the Americas without once being served Hash Browns for breakfast. OK we've missed breakfast the last 4 mornings since arriving in Las Vegas but ..... really.... America's best cuisine present to the world and none of the buggers serve hash browns?

You know that one where "Home is Where the Heart Is"?

Work it our for yourselves... we're off to lose $100.
