I'm a Winner Baby!!
Now don't get all excited. Yes, I won a little, but you know how I love to draw things out - so you'll just have to let me tell you the story.
Tonite we, my 2 co-workers and I, could not stand the idea of eating in this hotel one more time. So we headed to the strip. Once there we did a bit of walking then had some drinks and dinner at Ceasar's. (I got pictures!! Coming soon!)
After a yard long margarita and some great Italian food we headed to the Bellagio. Walking through I decided I wanted to play the slots. I had 2 singles. So we each chipped in $2 and away we went. On the 3rd round we hit $120. We cashed out, happy with our return on investment and proceeded walking the strip.
We get back to the Red Rock and I head to the casino. THIS is why I don't gamble. I like it. I thought I might, and I do.
I put $20 in the slots and.......cashed out $50 ahead. I was actually up a lot more at one point, but was laughing so hard at myself I just didn't want to stop. I was having a good time. I figured I deserve it. Plus, playin' with cash - I knew I couldn't go into the hole.
So anyway - Finally. FINALLY I had a really good time. And I wanna come back. Soon.
WooHoo! I'm a Winner Baby!!!

trust me.

Can I play hostess with the mostess?!
Love the Bellagio and the slots at Mandalay Bay (video poker actually) were a blast and a half, from what I remember. (You really do drink free when you gamble! *hiccup*)
Have a wonderful time and DON'T go to Jimmy Buffett's place, margaritas there are fierce and yummy, but WAY overpriced!
Posted by: Lee Ann at September 13, 2006 08:22 AMWell, I guess that's why Vegas is a favorite with lots of people... LOL. I don't get it - slots do absolutely nothing for me. If I win or lose, it just seems to not resonate as a good or bad thing. I've got such a strange brain, it really doesn't work like most people's and I know the big shots who run Vegas are thanking their lucky stars that there aren't more people like me in the world. *grin* I'm glad you won... that's always a good thing. ;-)
