Vegas, baby, Vegas!

Joanne and I went to Vegas this past weekend with my parents, Eddy, and Stephanie (aka Stephine). We had a free room at Stateline so we got to spend our money on more important things: food, shopping, and gambling. We all had a great time and I probably pulled off the best gambling record for the weekend. I had a solid blackjack run, caught some good numbers in roulette, and caught a straight and a triple in Let It Ride. Good times. If you've never played 3 Card Poker, Let It Ride, or even Caribbean Stud, you should at least try and learn the game...it keeps all the table games from being a mystery. Joanne is making her return to the blackjack tables (she's pretty good) after several years of hiding, so now I can enjoy some table games with her. And with 7 or 8 white russians, EVERYTHING is fun.

Joanne was definitely enjoying Video Poker this weekend. Here's one of her 4 of a Kinds that she pulled.





There was an awesome kiddy bowling game (only 50 cents!) that we tried out. The only problem was that we were probably a little too old to play it (go figure). The bowling lane only about 6 feet long so when we threw the ball a little too hard it would go "TILT", telling us that we were too rough. Well, you only get one warning. And Eddy found out the hard way. The game shut him out after two hard throws! Hilarious!

When it's 1:00am and you're feeling like going to sleep, it's time for McDonald's. That's exactly what we did and we were good until 3:30.

I have more pictures, but I'll have to post them up tonight.

Hope you had a good weekend.

I'm laughing just imagining Joanne's giddy reaction to her four-of-a-kind. :)

Dude, don't forget to put up a picture of the dealer we saw at the poker tourney. We had an awsome weekened, dude. Thanks for the invite.
