The View From Wisconsin

My little jaunt to Las Vegas was a non-plussed time. Here's a sample

• The flight was late coming in and leaving - and we got a two double bed room instead of a King bed.
• I woke up Monday morning with a very sore throat. Not sure if it was the pollen left from the lovely Spring in Vegas, or if it was someone who gave me a cold in Sin City - but I'm still gulping down sudafed.
• We decided to listen to a sales pitch regarding a time-share in Vegas. It was a hard sell, but we had our minds made up (NO) beforehand. And we got $50.
• Once we got the voucher for $50, we took $10 and put it in a machine at the Four Queens. And it hit big cash. Not jackpot, but a lot of smaller amounts (relatively speaking). You walk out with more than you walked in with - a LOT more - and you're definitiely up.
• I actually got to hit two of the top 10 values of Las Vegas according to the Las Vegas Advisor. The 99-cent shrimp at the Golden Gate's snack bar, and the $4.95 complete steak dinner at Ellis Island Casino.
• We got to the airport early, and actually got to Phoenix early.

Now comes the fun part -driving home to Wisconsin...
