Vegas!!

Hello!

Well, here is what went on in Las Vegas on our first day. Enjoy!

We departed Tucson at around 8:15am after Angelica arrived to care for Chris while we were away. We got the Prius all loaded and Elise, Bobby and I were heading for
Sin City.

We stopped in Eloy to grab some breakfast because we were starving. We dined in a truck stop that we have stopped in several times. Elise ordered ham, eggs, tatos, and toast. Her ham slice was huge.

I ordered french toast, sausages, hash browns, eggs, and a biscuit with gravy. Bobby ordered a steak burrito, and we all had plenty of coffee.

Then we headed for Phoenix. We missed all of the traffic and we did not encounter any burning trucks, or wrecks that could have hindered our progress. We have had those type of problems on our previous ventures to Vegas.

We stopped in Carefree to get gas and a pit stop. We continued on to Kingman and we stopped there for a few snacks and drinks. We were listening to a book on CD titled"In Cold Blood" that is very, very good.

We arrived at the MGM Grand at around 4:00pm. We checked in and Bobby checked into the Excalibur across the street. We had great rooms, and Bobby's view was looking directly down the strip. This is Bobby's first time visiting Las Vegas, we are sure that he will enjoy every minute of our stay.

So we met up with Bobby and we hit the slots. We had a great time on the slots and Bobby did pretty good on his, not so good for us, smile!

We were trying to keep track of how the election was going while we were playing the slots. So we decided to eat some dinner. We were going to eat at the buffet but it was way too expensive. $36.00 each, we not going to pay that for a buffet.

So we ate at the Rainforest Cafe. Elise has chile con queso, Bobby had spinach dip and chips,, I had fries, and buffalo wings. Elise and Bobby had water with their meal and I had an orangecicle (no alcohol), smile!

After dinner we hit the slots again. We were sitting next to a couple from Tampa and when she heard that Obama has won the election she was very pleased (as we were). We played for a while longer and then we called it a night. A good first night in Sin City.
