Lady Luck was not shining on me!!! - Las Vegas

Now, this is a city that even my girlfriends and I can't keep up with...good thing its only a four day trip for us, or we would be going home in crates...

My first, second and third trip here were with my parents, driving through the desert from Calgary in a car with no A/C...sticking to the seats, counting the beads of sweat opon my sisters brow while she slept to pass the time...come to think of it, my story might make for a good made for tv movie...

Fourth time was with my then-boyfriend...word of advice, ladies, don't go to Vegas with someone you want to break up with before hand...loses the magic..

Fifth and Sixth time were with my girlfriend who couldn't put a quarter in the phone booth without a whole bunch coming out the bottom...I lost my shirt, she lost her need for a mortgage....we were going to the opening U2 concert and almost missed the bus because she had an entourage around her for winning the jackpot on the slots...second time was the same thing, only her mom came too and she won a boyfriend of 3 years....

    Went to Vegas a couple years ago with Lou. Had a great time, we rented a car and went all over the place. Next time I'll have to go try a Turkey Burger!
