High roller

Who doesn't love Las Vegas? Bright lights, beautiful people, fake Elvis's (or is it Elvi?), Chippendale dancers...where was I going with this? I just returned from a fun filled four days in Sin City where I slept an average of four hours per night. It was a combination of late nights and my inability to adjust to Pacific Time.

I am pleased to say I won big in Vegas! OK, big is probably a "big" exaggeration.

 I learned how to play Black Jack, a very addicting game at least to me and won....are you ready???.......20.........dollars. Ha, ha! Those of you who know me well know I love to spend money on trips, purses, shoes, iTunes, etc. (hence the "broke" in the title of my blog) but at the casino....not so much.

However, I was willing to take a small risk and play some $10 Black Jack. After winning two rounds I was out - I figured it is best to quit while ahead. I may end up in AA someday but I am pretty damn sure I will never end up in Gambler's Anonymous! Speaking of "Gamblers", my favorite gambler, Kenny Rogers, also brought me luck. I was killing time in "Paris" and Kenny's "The Gambler" one cent slot machine (yes, one penny) brought me $10.36. In Vegas, that is nothing but for the $1 I put in the machine it was a great ROI so I cashed out.

Viva Las Vegas!
