Thanks. I do have to differ with you on Vegas. There are a lot of fun things to do in that town, and if you've never been to see the Cirque du Soleil shows, or some of the musicals, magic shows, or the layouts at place like Bellagio or the Mirage, or Rio, or even something like the Luxor, then you don't know what you're missing. Granted, the Four Seasons ain't a roadside roach motel, but you get the picture.... I've also had the debate with my wife that I can sit at a $5 or $10 blackjack table all night, have a grand time, and come out +/-$50 (either way it doesn't really matter). But if we go to dinner and a movie, with popcorn and a big drink and a box of Milk Duds, I KNOW I won't wind up with more money than I left home with (unless I come across a Benjamin someone dropped in the gutter), and I'll spend more in the movie theater alone than at the casino. It's just a different way to look at paying for your entertainment, and knowing when to say when... Plus, half of my fun in casino's is just watching the various forms of humanity while I'm there, watching how they react to winning/losing, and just taking it all in...;-) DWB
