Viva Las Vegas

On the Venetian bridge over the Grand Canals


I am the biggest M&M fan! We went to the M&M factory store on the Strip!


My mean macho green M&M- stud muffin!



I hit the Jackpot... I wish!


Micheal pressing his luck!

Michael and I had a fabulous time in Las Vegas with Jen and Chad! Our last night in Vegas Michael surprised me with the Executive suite at the Venetian Hotel and it was as wonderful as it sounds! The room had a great view of the Strip and Micheal was most excited about the flat screen TV in the bathroom. Everything about the room was luxurious and I had to have pictures as proof of my stay. If you ask me, I think we had a nicer room than the Bellagio, and they have great rooms there too! We also got to explorer more of the Strip after the wedding and had a great time just sight seeing and playing at some of the casinos.

Did I win any money? I am glad you asked... Here is my funny gambling story...

We had checked out of hotel and had an hour before we had to leave for the

airport, so we went over to New York, New York. I wanted to ride the roller coaster and Michael didn't, but after finding out that it was $25 per person, I changed my mind too. So we opted for the penny slot machines...That was about as much of a high roller as I get. I put my dollar in the slot machine and started pulling and NOTHING! You would at least think I would win a line or two here or there, as I had been pretty lucky before. I got down to .40 and I hit Bonus Party-three in a row. The machine started blinking and flashing and a siren was going off. I get so excited I won, I won, I won! But you have to hit the button to see much you won. Guess how much I won??? Go ahead, ten, twenty, fifty dollars......nope, I won twenty cents .20$, yep that's it! a whole 1/5 of a dollar! Exciting right. So now I have .60 cents left in the slot machine and Michael says I should just play it out. I get down to .04 cents and I hot bonus party four times in a row. the machine starts to blink, flash and whoop...big deal another twenty cents. But this time I hit the multiplier 4x and then hit it again and on the last spin I win $18.40! Now I am happier, and not a bad return investment on a dollar. So we spent a grand total of three dollars gambling that weekend, and I came home $40 richer and had enough to pay for lunch at the airport and parking.... not bad at all
