Vegas Baby!
We arrived in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 27, 2013 at 8:30 am. We are here with our friends Vic and Sylvie Paquin and Dave and Belinda Bilodeau. We are staying at the iconic Caesars Palace. It is unbelievable how big this place is - it is about a 10 minute walk from the Bilodeau room to ours.
We started out the day by going to Dave and Bren's room for a pre-breakfast rum and coke (maybe 2). Had breakfast at the Margaritaville Casino and then did a little gambling at Harrah's and the Quad (which is the old Imperial Palace). Dave was the big winner of the morning taking down Kenny Rogers at his 1 cent slot machine - $28 profit.
In the afternoon, we cruised the strip and had a light lunch of beer and appetizers at Cabo Wabo Cantina - Sammy Hagar's restaurant near Paris. There goes the afternoon.
Stopped at Walgreens for some supplies; played Dance Party slot machine to a profit of $20 (this is group money - we all kicked in). We then went to dinner at Max Brenner's Chocolate Restaurant in The Forum Shops mall attached to Caesars Palace. I ordered the veggie burger - ouch! Not good. Vic felt so bad, he gave me half his meal.
After dinner, Dave played Slots with Judge Judy and lost $10 of group money. We went over to The Quad where Vic and I played blackjack for about 2 hours and both of us broke exactly even. The evening was not so successful for the slot players and I am guessing they lost about $20 between the 4 of them. We went to bed about midnight having been up almost 24 hours.
