Vegas Baby, Vegas

We're back from Vegas. Steph and I left Sunday morning and came back Thursday afternoon. We met my dad, who I hadnt seen in 4 years, of the weekend and met his new girlfriend Helen. He is doing good and it was really good to see him again. Helen is really nice and I think she is very good for my dad.

Anyway, Craps this time was its namesake....crap. I lost about 200 bucks in craps over the 4 days and probably a hundred or two more in slots. I had absolutely no luck. I'd drop 60 bucks at the table in 4 minutes. The only time I was up was when my dad and I were playing Blackjack at Excalibur. Speaking of which Steph won like 60 bucks on a PENNY slot. For those of you who havent been to Vegas lately, things are a changing. No longer are children welcome and the gimmick of penny and 2 cent slots is taking over. The idea is brilliant, I dont mind dropping $20 on a penny slot over an hour...I do on the otherhand, mind dropping $20 in 10 minutes on quarter machines or even nickel machines.

Anyway, back home, getting ready to go back to school...blarg!
