I more than doubled my money in Vegas.
I’m interested to see the reaction of my tax guy when I claim my Vegas winnings.
Heaven forbid I dupe the IRS out of taxing my 10 bucks.
Oh. You thought I won big? Well, to win big, you’ve got to bet big. I would hardly call 4 bucks in the penny slots, ‘betting big’.
As soon as I crossed the 10 dollar mark I cashed out. Thank heavens for those automatic ticket redeeming machines. I’d be too embarrassed to actually cash the ticket for 10 George Washington’s at a window with a real person.
As I started toward my room, I noticed a creepy guy standing by himself waiting for the elevator. He turned around, dirtily looked me up and down, and a disturbing smile spread across his face. I immediately detoured to the closest slot machine and dumped in a dollar of my hard earned winnings.
I lost the dollar in the poker slots but that may be because… I don’t know how to play poker.
Look. I didn’t have a choice of machines ok?!?! It was a girl emergency!
But I don’t count it as a loss anyway. It was a ‘no way in Hades I’m riding in the elevator with the gross man’ fee and I was happy to pay it.
A couple hours later, we were driving down the freeway. Pops was on a business call and I stared out the window at the strip… and noticed…
‘Uh. Is the Monte Carlo on fire?’
Dad glanced and continued his call – completely brushing me off by the way.
Thanks.
‘Pops, those are flames. That is a fire.’
And then pulled out my camera… because that’s how I roll…
…like a tourist.
An hour later we rolled by again...
Here's pops losing 3 bucks...
And me winning 10!
Seriously, we're high rollers. $7 combined.

Hey, I thought what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! You need to move up to nickel slots. You can win at least $20:)
Share the wealth! SHARE the wealth! =) Pretty wild pic of the fire. I should 'roll' that way too more often because I seem to leave my camera behind at the most inopportuned time! Aaauugh!! =)
oooo, big spenders you all are. Nice fire pic's, I was actually watching that on my computer, I thought I saw you and your Dad.:)
Your dad never told me about the gambling. Isn't that a bad sign? Do you think he has a 'secret' addiction and just doesn't want me to know?!? That 3 bucks could have paid for a Starbucks or something. Now I'm worried. What's worse is that he's back there again today. Oh my!!!!!
I think I'll call. Gotta go.
Love always, mom
I'm with Colie.
Ok, except I have no idea what I am talking about, seeing as how, I've only been to Vegas once and I wasn't even legal.
