I'm home from my 8 day Vegas trip. While I was there Vegas got the heaviest rains it had seen in 40yrs. But I stayed Downtown, so not too much rain fell through the Fremont Street Experience.

I stayed at my fav hotel The 4-Queens. Every morning I awoke and went to the casino, where I put $20 into a Silver Strike machine, lit a ciggy, and played. I won a Silver Strike every morning of my stay.

Like I said, I mostly stayed Downtown. I only ventured to the Main Strip to see "Divas, Las Vegas" at the Imperial Palace (I love Frank Marino!), and to go to Sam's.

Highpoints:
Hitting a Straight Flush at the 4-Q's video poker for just under a grand!
Hitting a penny-slot at the Gold Spike with min bet for $29 bucks and getting a meal comp!
Seeing Kevin Burke's show at the Fitz for free on my friends b-day comps.
Seeing "Divas Las Vegas" at the Imperial Palace! (highly reccomended!)
Watching the drunks from my room that faced Fremont Street! (again, highly reccomended!)

I've already started saving for next year! Gawd, I love Vegas!
