    Good Morning Everyone! Yesterday we visited the new Linc and rode the High Roller. The view was amazing and I also enjoyed the tilted kilt. Its just amazing to see the transformation of the whole area. By the way I had no idea how cute guys in kilts could be....:beer: Went to see the Million Dollar Quartet which my Mom loved and I thought was OK. Had a nice dinner at Toby Keith's. I got beat up a little at three card poker but luckily won it all back at craps. I had a pretty awesome roll...hitting the hard 8 three times and getting 5 points. Love this game when I am the shooter and can get the whole table yelling. Off to cheer on the US soccer team now!

    I am so happy and excited to report what happened today. We went to do the daily slot tournament at Main Street Station and had no luck. I decided to put a $20 bill into a dollar video poker machine and..........I got a Royal Flush. $4000. I am still in utter shock. Spent the rest of the evening celebrating !!!

    LVH... Wasn't the best choice because not a lot of crazy fans there but they did have a very nice setuo for it. Wish we would have won but am proud of our guys.

    We also love Blueberry Hill! My favorite is the cinnamon pancakes. Yum! Which one do you go to? We also like the Hash House A Go Go on Sahara and share the chicken and waffles. Mmmmm. Have you ever seen their omelette? Enormous!!

    Sorry I haven't been reporting the last couple of days. One of my good friends that is currently teaching in Argentina is here visiting and we have been going nonstop. Today we played in a small texas Holden tournament at the Plaza. I made the final table but not in the money. We played a little bit of everything and ate brunch at Main Street Station and a very good dinner at Gonzalez y Gonzalez in New York New York. We checked out the new Hershey Chocolate World and walked around some shops. Also broke her in to Bingo...she won $250.

    Congrats on the Royal from one Texan to another! Looks like you're no longer on a teacher's budget!

    Hi All, well I made it back to Houston about a week and a half ago. I am sorry I stopped reporting. I was typing on a super out of date tablet and it was just tooooooo much effort during my last exhausting days in Vegas. The last night of the trip I got lucky on a penny machine and hit for $1080 on a 65 free spin bonus ( of course I was playing $1.20 a spin but still a heck of a hit). Drove home the Northorn route....enjoyed Bearizona Wildlife Park, Alburquque's tramway, Roswell Alien hunting, and Carlsbad Caverns. Overall a fun trip home. Now beleive it or not I am flying back to Las Vegas tomorrow with my lil bro and 2 friends for a short 3 night trip. Leaving out of Hobby on SW ( free with points). I will continue to report. Let's see if my good luck continues!!!
