Morning! Breakfast time! Well after yesterday’s yummy room service meal we decided to keep with just a fruit bowl and coffee and run down to Java Coast to pick up some muffins… Well they were all out of muffins so DH ran down to O’Shea’s and pick up Burger King breakfast – which was a little gross except for the mini-cinnamon buns – they were pretty good warm. Then DH got ready for the conference and headed out – leaving me with strict instructions to restock the room and pick up the gifts for the kids. So off I headed down to the ABC stores at the Aladdin and bought some souvies and beer for the room. It was a long walk back with such a heavy load. Crazy Canadian – anything for some good beer! I was back at the room at 11:50 am knowing I had 10 min before I was suppose to meet with Love2winalot…. So I thought I’d freshen up and then head down. Well give a girl sometime! Jeepers a girl can’t even be fashionably late!!! All of a sudden my cell phone rings and it’s guess who saying I’m waiting for you by the spinning wheel wearing my short shorts and player shirt. Hmmm should I really be meeting this guy from the internet? What am I getting myself into??? Well I thought, I’m a tough Canadian girl I can take this guy… No worries! I ride down the elevator with dread filling my head worried and preparing to put on my best face. Walking through the casino I spot him lurking around the table taking some kind of notes… Well I’m here now so let’s go meet him. I walk up to shake his hand and he grabs me… OK I’ve made some of this up. Sir Winalot is a nice guy for the most part – I still owe him a punch in the arm for his Oprah comment on the LVTalk board. We moved to Bugsy’s bar and had a beer. Which I needed to fight off the night before shakes! After some discussion we head over to Casino Royale to play Roulette where he would become the teacher and I the student. Hmmm interesting theory. So after a drunk Canadian put on a display at our table (NO not me!!!) and my husband came back from the conference we finished up even. Not bad for a couple of hours at the table. We watched a lot of people come and go from the table – mostly down so I consider that a win. Had Sir Win brought his sheet we would have played a little differently, but I still learned a lot about him. Especially what he normally does with his afternoon TV time!

DH and I thought we would play a slot before leaving CR and tried our luck with Dirty Harry… We sure didn’t feel lucky enough – oh well time to go back to the room to get pretty for dinner. That night was the Grand Lux at the Venetian – talk about an eye full there. Of course with the AVN awards and show going on the restaurant was filled up with the porn industry people. Very interesting. May I say it was difficult for my husband to concentrate. Not that I can blame him with half naked well endowed girls running around. Some I must say were very attractive but there were a few that aren’t in the business because of their looks. The meal was good – but I must say I am tired of eating in places that you feel like you are in a feed lot. (Sorry for the cattle reference, it’s a local thing). Main Street Station seems to carry way more atmosphere than any place I’ve eaten on the strip. I guess I’m not going to the right places yet!

After dinner we thought we would walk around and check out a few places down at this end. So off to the TI which we really enjoyed. Then to Mirage for a bit. Played a bit at both places and ended up about even. Found my Slotto game – yay! Caesar’s Palace was the killer of the night. Now I’m not sure what it is but DH has some bad karma when it comes to this place – so let’s just say shortly after entering the new shops it was time to back to the room. DH was in bed by 9:30… well Vegas time is too precious to be a sleep that early on a Friday! So I went back down to the casino and thought I would phone my French friend and see what he was up to. Funny he was just leaving the Hard Rock and heading over to see me in a cab. Great timing. We spent the rest of the evening talking and a little bit gambling. Had my first ride – on the monorail! Not bad… Pretty smooth. Now if they had a stop at the Wynn it would be so much better. Ended up at the Sahara – wow this place really hasn’t changed. My French friend tells me has a room on the third floor with a balcony that has a view of the garbage…. Nice! Oh and he is paying $250 a night… Sweet!!! I took the monorail back around 1 am played a bit at the Barbary Coast and enjoyed a Dirty Martini then it was off to bed for me.
