Ok, here

Lee,
Thanks for writing a trip report. Boy, did you do a lot in the short time you were in town! You must still be tired. <vbg> Congrats on the wins and especially on the airline bumps. We always seem to be on the plane that's full but not overbooked. <vbg> Glad you didn't have the flight from h*** this time.
Can't wait to read your next trip report. Wish we could be there with you. [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/frown.gif[/img]

Lee,

Wow! All that in four days? I want to hang out with you next time! I thought I could stay up late but you and Sue can outdo me! Thanks so much for the entertaining report!

Lee, Thanks for making me laugh at 3:05AM! Just got home from my first day, or night, back to work after being out for twelve weeks (shoulder surgery). It was tough having the summer off [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img] but I survived. It was nice to finally meet You, Sue, and Sandy although it wasn

Lee, you did more in 4 days than most people do in a week. It was great to see you again. How'd you stay up until 7am? I think my record is 6:30 when I didn't want to leave a hot vp machine.
Glad you gave it to that cabbie. On my last trip all the cabbies were pretty good for a change. You've got to keep the bad ones in line.

Le,

Thanks for another great report. As other have already said, you sure can cram a lot into a little time. I couldn't wait to get out of Vegas after teh weekend just to get some rest.As usual, great seeing you and the girls. I'm still working on November.

Lee,

Thanks for the trip report. Seems that you have a way of sekecting the worst cab drivers. We have had good luck using the LV Limosine service and will probably use them in the future. The price is set and they have no reason to give you the run-a-round. I heard that cab drivers keep one half of what the meter reads. Don't know if it is true. You must feel like DON JUAN running around LV with two good looking women all of the time. Getting an airline bump can make even a losing trip feel good. Tell the girls we said hello.

Lee: Thanks for knocking off the report so quickly. I really enjoyed it. Too bad your trip was so short--it made for a short report too.

I was really surprised to read about the mix-up with your room at Flamingo. Not as surprised as you though!

Your machine-fill fiasco with Sue was fun to read about although I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time. Why is that always the way when you are ready to leave or in a hurry you have to wait for a fill.

Nice going with that Blackjack streak and the bumps!

Lee, Thanks for the trip report. Shorter than usual <bg>.

Congrats on the royal although only a nickel machine. Better than nothing, no?

ALWAYS a pleasure to see you and Sue and also now that I have met Sandy, it is a pleasure to see her also. You guys are so funny. Maybe someday we should follow you with a camera. Really would make a good addition to the TalkVegas Photos <g>.

Look forward to seeing you in November. AND thanks for the ribs at Tommy Rockers. You are way too generous <s>!

Lee Ann,
I sure wish you folks where out in November too. Are you sure there is no way to twist Michaels arm, for a visit to our favorite city?

The flights all went great. If you recall our last flight from H#LL was on american, and there we where flying them again. I was worried, but things went smooth for a change!

Thanks for reading, and the kind words.

Trina,
There where times when I felt like the walking dead. But Sue kept saying that we had to stay up to make coming out to LV for a short trip, worth it.
Glad you enjoyed our report.

Lee,
My arm needs no twisting. I was the one saying last week that I would love to go to LV in November. I just can't take the time off and can't scrape together enough VP funds, especially since we didn't hit it big last week [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/frown.gif[/img].

Really enjoyed this trip report. I guess you were lucky to even get to bed, waiting on machine fills back and forth!

JohnSR,
Hmmmm, where did we meet before? Was it one of the Green Shack meets? I'm so sorry for forgeting meeting you before! This getting old is tough on a guy! <s> CRS strikes again!

Sounds like you had a rough summer. [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]
I'm glad my report gave you a smile. I'll be waiting for your!

Thanks for the good review of my report. <G>

John.....or should I just call you Jr. ?
LOL
We really didn't get much sleep this past trip and I've been reminded by a lot of my friends lately that I'm getting old. Beleive me....I felt it this trip!
The one thing is, I can't see the sun, when I stay up that late. When we have the mini suite, The bed is not infront of the window, and the few hours sleep I did get, was a sound sleep.
Thanks for reading!

Fred,
The bump vouchers where icing on the cake for all of us. SWEET!
I'll tell "the girls" you said hello.
"You must feel like DON JUAN running around LV with two good looking women" NO, I have my hands full with one. I'm just the driver. LOL
sekecting? I think you ment selecting? Better be careful....your starting to type like me! <VBG> I seem to always getthe bad ones at the airport. The restof the trip I normally do ok, sekecting cabbies. <VBG>

Could you please e-mail me your new address when you get a moment.
Thanks for reading my long report!

Jeff,
I hope you make it out to LV for November and at least one of our days over lap.
I think I'd like to take a drive out of town and take a look at Mesquite and see what it's like.
Thanks for reading the report and the nice comments too!
Enjoyed dinner and your friends seem very nice too. Glad we had a chance to meet them also.

I don't think you're quite ready for Mesquite or maybe I should say they're not ready for you [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img].
The casinos are open 24 hours like Vegas but it has the feeling of a town that rolls up the carpet by about 2 AM. I've gone into the coffee shop in the wee hours and will be the only person in the whole place.
This is actually the reason we go there. Patti doesn't like the hustle bustle of Vegas. We both agree that Mesquite is much more relaxing.
Maybe in another 10 years when you're an old guy like me and John you'll be ready [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img].

Veronica,
The short trips I always seem to do better. Probably has something to do with shortening the time I'm exposed to the house edge.

The Flamingo mix up, I'm sure is because the Flamingo has her splitting her time with Flamingo and Paris. She's a trainer over there and I never got to see my host the whole trip, untill it was check-out time. She hugged us all and said we're supposed to be all set in the computer for November. This will be interesting, as she has informed me she'll be on vacation while we visit in November. So I'm sure I'll have another hassel. I also asked her if I should start looking for another hotel, she smiled and said "only if it's Paris"! LOL
She seemed very interested on how I felt about Paris. We'll see?

The Black Jack win was from out of the blue. I've all but given up playing the game, except for the Orleans. I like the place and it's friendly. I also like to hold the cards. I don't get bored then.

The bump was a nice ending to a great trip. The sad thing was, we had the option of staying till the next day, but couldn't. Sue's out of all days off work. The November trip kills the last 3 she has, and we're not going to mess that trip up! [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for reading!

Gail S,
Thanks for the good review of my report. I'm not that funny! <S> I'm just glad everyone had a good time at the meet. Thank you for the round of beers! I noticed you where off like a shot, as soon as Sue said ok, to one more! LOL I was going to race you to the bar, but by the time I turned around you had already orderd! <S>

A $200 win is still nice, but I haven't hit a quarter royal for quite a while now, I figure I'm due! LOL Although a Dollar one would be better! <S>

No camera's PLEASE.....I don't have a good side for pictures! Our girl has been asking for a snap shot of us for years now, and we always seem to forget that for her! hehehe!

See you in November!
