Leaving Las Vegas

This morning we left Las Vegas.  We have spent the past week with friends and family. We had a lot of fun. They all arrived on Tuesday and the first order of business…2 for one buffets.

We gambled a little there at Terribles but no one had really good luck. 



Wednesday evening we provided dinner for the group and then took Terry and Jeri on to Fremont Street.  They have never spent any time in the Las Vegas area so this was something that we told them they had to see.
Look what Ed found…
Fremont Street is the old Las Vegas. About 15 years ago they closed off the street to traffic, put a cover over it and each night they have laser light shows.

                 




Thursday night we met everyone at a casino called Ellis Island.  A very small casino off strip that Steve and Carol found.  One of our group had won big the night before and we all wanted our chance.  We walked out with an extra $100 of the casino’s money!!
Friday we went to Boulder Station to sing Karaoke.  Janice and Jerry had heard us sing when they were at Emerald Cove.  But the rest of the group wanted to hear. 



They said the enjoyed it.  Ed sang 2 songs and together we sang one.
All the singers that night were very good.

Saturday I was able to connect with my cousin Bill and his wife Toni.  We have not seen each other in about 12 years.  I wanted them to take us to their favorite hangout and guess what…..we ended up back at Boulder Station.  It was wonderful to reconnect and catch up.  They treated us to a fantastic meal at the steakhouse in the casino and we played video poker at their favorite bar. 
All in all we didn’t leave too much of our money in Las Vegas.  We now are in Needles which is close to Laughlin and we will be playing bingo and going to the casinos there.  Lets see if our luck holds!!
