really lagged in keeping up with the Blog details.
Our Southwest flight was excellent as usual. No issues with the wheelchair. There is a LOT of abuse on this airline with
"disabled" passengers. So much so that it is getting out of hand. I completely understand that some people may need
the assistance to get from check in to the gate. When I see
the same people bolt after we land, I consider that abuse and unfair to other passengers.
Anyhow...our stays have included - Lake George Econolodge, La Quinta in Albany, Main Street Station, Aquarius, Gold Coast and soon Sam's Town.
We met Gary for lunch at Ping Pang Pong and shared food stories along with restaurant referrals and general catch up chat. Gary is a phenomenal source for Vegas as he is an
MGM employee and gate keeper for KA.
One of the best comedy shows I have ever seen was Gallagher
at the Tropicana. He was WAY more cerebral than I imagined. He is bordering on brilliant. We both had good
belly laughs from his show along with having our photo
taken with him prior to the performance.
Burkes in Laughlin scored us some shoe deals (see above pic).
Due to this Cushing Syndrome, I gave myself a break and got a pair of size 10 sneakers. The extra space is heavenly. The
sandals are for Cor and Mom. All of the pairs totalled less
than six bucks.
Gaming isn't in our favor that is for sure. At this point going
home even would be a treat. Anything can happen. Yesterday
we did really well at Silverton playing 100 play VP followed
by an incredible supper at El Cortez (comped).
In an hour or so we are off to Four Kegs (Diners, Drive-ins & Dives) with Norm and Andrea. James and I had breakfast with Carol here at the Java restaurant.
Time to hit the gym before heading out.

Heading Home
We do have plans to come back in eight weeks though. It will give me enough time to get a video put together and pictures posted from this trip.
$750.00 loss between the two of us, but lots
of freebies to offset that. We did a large amount of coin in.
More later :)

Tournament
Today is VP Tournament day for James. He's done the 9:30am session and about to do the 12:30 one. He appears to be the youngest participant. The winning amount is $7500.00.
Last evening we did hit Emerald Status. We did so remarkably on single line VP with some aces of the quad variety.
Looks like we will be wrapping up the long trip ahead a few dollars or even.

Slapper Magnet
Wherever I go it seems that I am a magnet for the dreaded button slapper. Nothing irks me more than an angry loud machine button slammer. It has become more of a joke now. Oh well..chalk it up with kids in the Casino, circle twirlers, people who cough and sneeze without covering, etc. (Off the soap box now)
Cloudy here with a threat of storms. We have plans to get our Emerald status today and chill out. Vacation is winding down. Yesterday was a great one as we made a bank deposit.
We have a Gold Card here at Sam's Town with a handicapped room facing the Strip. Pretty decent actually.
A bank of progressive video poker machines are calling our name today.
Nice breakfast of fresh coffee, banana (my daily potassium) and a blueberry muffin coupled by The Young and the Restless! Life is grand!
