Last Thursday after work I took off for Vegas to meet Mac. He was out there at a conference. (Government workers!) He picked me up about 11 pm Vegas time, 2am East Coast time.
The next morning we moved over to our hotel, Bill's Gambling Hall (formerly Barbary Coast), http://www.billslasvegas.com/. This place is tiny, less than 200 rooms. It's 25 years old and one of the best deals on the strip. Not luxurious, but very old school. We love the steakhouse, it's got 9 high back, red velvet booths and about 6 additional tables. It's dark and romantic and the service is great. We gambled there a couple of years ago and now they send us free stays. This is our second free weekend, and we're loving it. At least until Harrah's tears is down to build something else. (they bought it in 2007 and changed the name to Bill's) So here we go:

Mac had to leave on Sunday cuz his mean boss said he had to be at work on Monday morning. I was unable to change my departure from Monday to Sunday, so I spend one more night in Vegas all alone! =( I went to the pool and watched the Cowboy game. Mac put $10 on the Vikings, Redskins and Cowboys. He won, so I collected his winnings...$66.00!
The good news is I got up Monday took a walk down the strip, did a little shopping and then I hit the slot machines. I am happy to say I got lucky baby! Over the weekend I alotted about 300 to gamble on, and when I left for the airport I had $920 in my pocket!
My high roller winnings!
Goodie I won! Too bad it wasn't enough to stay home from work...Mac left today for 2 day trip and I'm home.
Dancing with the Stars is coming on, so I'm outta here. Tune in later!
xoxo
