Oh I hope you have a great time and win big at whatever you play. But be sure you get enough rest. Very important thing to do. Have had two friends go and play almost around the clock. One went for three days and slept little. Died the day after he got home with massive heart attack. Other was a retired girl friend who went to Laughlin and died sitting at a slot machine. She had been ill
and begged her husband to take her as she loved to play the slots and wanted so badly to go as she thought she might never be well enough to go there again. He said she died doing exactly what she wanted to and was glad he gave in to her about it.

I haven't been to Las Vegas in a while but have gratis trips to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas so am trying to figure out a time frame to go. Have some funny stories about our early days there and later trips. Those were mostly in our salad days......<gg>

<<I am off to Vegas for the weekend on Friday >>

I went there with my parents when I was in the 6th grade. Did the horse ride across the sand thing and wound up on a taping of the national TV show with Art Linkletter. I didn't get to see myself on national TV because of my teacher.

We went on to California and the big news was they were going to gas Carroll Chessman who never killed anyone but stayed alive for 14 years on death row. They gassed him.
