so doug and I had this weekend to use for an overseas 4 day trip and loads crapped out on us....we thought of hawaii & cali but it was forcast to rain all weekend.. forget that!

so we decided to drive up to vegas... lo and behold, every other time we're up there, it pays off! I won on 4 2's ($1 video poker), and a 3 wild on stampede (400 quarters) and i won big time on the $5 video poker with 4 King's...over $600 back in my pocket after all was said and done! I even sent the photos to the JC picture page. haha

it was a good weekend! an extra $600 right into my "backyard" fund! $29,400 to go (i think)

oh, we stayed at Monte Carlo and the room was quite nice, altho you could hear fairly well through the walls..the casino there was smaller than alot of the other hotels but it was packed! we ate one night at the Wynn, for $32 a pop (dinner), it was worth it...but man, the Wynn looks just like Bellagio so i thought it was a pretty boring hotel..no real glamour/glitz like i thought there would be for it being "THE" Wynn...

I'd recommend the monte carlo as a good hotel to stay in there.. we paid $147 for sat night and $80 for sun night...

Yeah, I wouldn't got to Hawaii either! Brendan and I went the last week of February...and it rained everyday. I am not even lying! We didn't get any sun until the last day and we had to leave in the afternoon to get off Kauai and over to Oahu! And the scary thing is, it has been raining ever since. The island that has had the huge floods and the dam that broke is the island that we go to every year. The pictures are awful. I feel so bad for those people. The dam broke right near the beach that we fell in love with last year.

Glad you had fun in Vegas. I went a few years ago with my mom for my cousins wedding (she actually got married at the Air Force base...). I don't know if I would go back because I almost had a heart attack when I called the pass line in the morning...and hear over 100 nonrevs! For some odd reason, we actually got out on the first flight...but it was scary
