Welp, the mystery tour has been completed, and for those of you who guessed Las Vegas, YOU ARE CORRECT SIR.
As you can see from the photo, we stayed at the
Paris Hotel. For a first time visitor, Vegas is very overwhelming! The sights, the sounds, the slot machines..they’re everywhere! And did I mention its dry and hot? 106 on Sunday when we left.Unfortunately we did not come home with more money in our pockets than when we left, but we did come home with some at least. We don’t have to sell the house which I suppose is a good thing. We tried our hand at Blackjack and basically got our asses handed to us in about 30 minutes, there went my $100! Slots also sucked our wallets dry but Saturday night I got hot and won some of it back.
We went and saw Penn and Teller, damn good show and hilarious too. But for the most part, we mostly walked and walked and walked and walked some more in between eating, eating, eating and eating more. Love them buffets. Nothing is free in this town anymore so we really didn’t do too much else. Overall, it was great time. And remember, what they say is true, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” Including one of Trishas shoes. Oh well. We did leave with our shirts on though.
