    Good luck on the rest of your trip. I am fortunate enough to be able to take my Mom to Vegas for her birthday every year (12 days...woo hoo!). and I know how fun and rewarding those types of trips are. Enjoy the rest of your Vegas vacation and find that handpay today

    If it isn't working for you, drop some of the BR on Mom and tell her to go nuts..

    This TR reminds me of the one with someone and his dad at CP, Dad having the time of his life...

We were there in February this year, who would have thought what was in front of us?? She is now 82, I REALLY hope we can get another trip or two in..........Have fun today!!

    Good morning VMB! Cleaned up and ready to hit the town. First stop Ellis Island for breakfast. From there, walking to Bally's/Paris. Winging it from there. Dinner at 7 at the Palm.

    So far pretty uneventful gambling but a couple hits here and there to keep us going. Having a great time. Had to do a little "hair o the dog" this morning /afternoon to keep moving along. Currently at Bally's.[​IMG]

    It's been a rough go of it on the gambling front today. Down a lot, but did get a nice buffalo hit for a small comeback. Of course forgot to take a picture...

    I'll be slow rolling it on some VP and maybe some keno machines before dinner.

    Loving this report! My trip with mom got cancelled in May. She is high risk so hoping for a turn of events with the Covid situation so she can join us on our March trip. Good luck and have a blast!

    Great report - My mom and dad used to go to vegas in early august to celebrate my dad's bday and their anniversary. After he passed now I take her. Your pictures are great. I think you are taking pictures in vertical mode, if you took them in landscape you would capture more of the scene.. just a bit of advice.. good luck!

    It's been a day. After dinner we headed back to Luxor and I'm already in bed. Full belly, cocktails and not enough sleep. Going to refresh and hope for better luck gambling tomorrow. Goodnight world.

    Thanks so much for this TR! My family has been going to Vegas with our parents for decades. My mom is turning 80 in September, and a family blow-out in Vegas would've been a no-brainer before Covid.

    We still want to go, but we're wondering how to do it safely.

    So trip reports like this are super helpful.

    Thanks so much and following!
