Viva Las Vegas!!! hole to throw money into....

I left Zion NP at about 9:30 in the evening and headed toward california, figuring i'd stop in las vegas for an hour or so. I got there a bit after midnight and found my way to the Vegas Strip.

There were tons of cars on the strip at 1 in the morning with people walking around all dressed up for night clubs and exploring the city at night. Lots of lights and confusion. I had decided to try $10 in a casino to see if i could win anything, thinking that i could get $10 in quarters and just spend til they were gone, keeping whatever i might have won, and leaving.I drove the whole way down the strip, then turned around and drove back until i could make my way into a parking garage. I ended up at The Mirage casino, happy to see that parking was free. I walked inside and took in the whole atmosphere, watched the people play the slots, tables and lose lots of money. i asked some old woman to explain the slots to me, cause they're all computerized now.right...... to make a long story short, it wasn't what i expected. all computerized. i put in $10 and got this piece of paper with how much CREDIT i had. Then i could go the games that i wanted to play and just stick it in. the slot machine "arms" didn't work. they're just there for looks. all push button.

yep. sad.

i walked around a little more, checked out another casino that looked about the same and walked back again. i did spend like 10 minutes watching these guys at a table each lose hundreds of dollars. enough vegas for me.

we're all a little disappointed that you're not returning with a Vegas wife.
