I'm going to Las Vegas tomorrow and I'm gonna win big |
|
:eyes:
If I do though drinks are on me when I get back!
Does anyone have anything they want me to bet for them?

2. Slots at tropicana or elvis slots |
|
I won $1,000 at tropicana and a few hundred on the elvis ones. I was going to be going in a few weeks but mom is in ICU so I am staying home while the wife and daughter go to CA to visit family for the holidays (which is what I was going to do - drive out to CA from OH, stop in Vegas on way home and play. I used to live close to there and have had a lot of fun in Vegas).
Have a good time and I hope you win big! Last casino I was at was in Chicago, someone won $35k on the $5 slot machine behind me. Another guy was up $70k on the craps table we were watching. Have fun!

hope she gets better.
I've never won that much money - the most I ever won was 300.
Thanks

19. Got good news tonight |
|
Mom is moving to a room. Been in ICU over two weeks, tonight she moved to her new room. She will be there a week or two then in rehab. I will be home alone for two weeks during christmas, but no big deal overall (I insisted wife go see he family as planned, an my 3 yr old will have a blast). I will take my vacation here, spend time on DU with my friends, and go see mom (dad told her tonight I was staying home instead of driving out and she smiled, can't talk much with the trach tube in).
Again, good luck! Have some fun, Vegas is my favorite place!

You're doing the right thing staying with your parents right now as hard as it is for your wife and child. You will be glad you did years from now.
Sounds like your mom is on the right track.. Best get well wishes to her!

23. I don't go often ..sometimes a couple times a year |
|
sometimes I'll skip a few years.
I'm really strict on not going over my limit but I'll keep going when I am winning a bit.
I play mostly slots because I don't think I move fast enough to the card tables etc.. I need to get better at playing those first.

Seriously - I've won tens of thousands on those machines. |
|
Try the one with the party symbols on it - I think it's the third one from the left facing the Strip with your back to the bakery. I've hit $1K, $2K and $4K jackpots on that one.

12. Good luck - play them when others are playing them. |

Somehow they don't seem to work as well when it's deserted.

6. I was just in Vegas with the same plan as you |
|
and I came out a whopping 5 bucks ahead. Lucky I didn't lose my shirt, but with some well placed hands of blackjack I came out in the black.

I have a small limit and stop when I hit it. BUT I will continue if I'm doing good.

Let me tell you .. if I hit something decent it will definitely be put away for a nice dinner and whatever else there is to do! I may even brave $5 on that for you!

14. I don't know how I'm going to avoid the smoke though |
|
hah.. remember who I'm sharing a room with so it's not quite the same as what we talked about LOL
I really wasn't looking forward to this a while ago but I think it will be a nice weekend for the family and especially my nephew.
If I win.. be thinking of how to spend it! If not, where's that omelette place again?
You have a good weekend too - I'll be sending good vibes to break a leg. :loveya:
I was gonna stay on and try to get to 5000 posts tonight but I'll wait till next week :-)
sleep well.

With a 1-10 record I'd say the odds are on your side.

20. Ya, you would probably have to bet something like $10.00 to win $4.00. |
|
I predicted after the first few games that the niners would win two games this season.
They are truly awful.

... be careful if you ride the rollercoaster in the New York, New York casino.. that thing almost snapped my neck.. seriosuly.. be careful if you go on that.
Um.. do check out the milenium tower.. also.. grab the little book of coupons they pass out everywhere, in there we found a night time, champagne-served helicopter tour over the city.. for 54.99 a person! Couldn't believe the deal... GREAT fun!

(coasters).. but I went around one turn and it caught me off guard i suppose.. (it happened so fast) then next thing I know me head is beiing forced downward by the Gs for a few seconds.. like forward and down almost like if you try to touch your chin to your breastbone.. it hurt BAD and pulled the muscles pretty good and for a second or two I was scared.. "holy Moses, this thing is gonna break my head off!.." seriously..
It was sore as hell all day..
On an unrelated note.. have a great time!!!
Heyo :dunce:

if you would happen to walk by the Bellagio, toss a coin in the lake and make a wish for a fellow DU'er. Icould use a wish to come true for me
