Only 2 more days to go and I will be in the Big City trying my luck and watching all the sights and listening to all the crazy sounds that always go on there during a visit. I sort of wish we would be there for Halloween as it is always a special and crazy time but that will have to wait until next year. Of course the mid-term elections will be going on and this year it is huge in Nevada as they try to get rid of Harry Reid once and for all.
Let's wrap up what happened this week leading up to the big trip. First of all it always seems like the week before a vacation seems to drag on and on and this week it followed that pattern for sure. On Tuesday the wife was hit by a 84 year old women driving beside her in a non-lane and just took out her car! The car was towed away and the old lady was put in a police squad car and taken away too. Thank god she had insurance. The next day was spent dealing with her insurance agency and trying to get our car fixed and a rental car for the wife. After yelling and screaming and threats and many phone calls things were finally taken care of. However the wife then had to have a procedure done to her back on Thursday where they inject a jell like substance into her spine to take away the pain. Lovely way to get ready for a vacation trip! However the doctor assured her that within 4 days she should be pain free and ready for her trip. We will see but gosh she is really in alot of pain right now.
We also booked a room at Palace Station for ourselves and the first 3 nights were free with the last night having a rate of only 29 dollars. Why the Palace Station? Well since we have not been out there since April, the longest such time between trips in 15 years, this was the only free offer we had left. Plus my father in law is going for a convention and is staying there as well so this will make it easy for us to get together. Anyway the Palace Station is not too bad. It is off the strip but they offer a free shuttle to the strip every 30 minutes and pick you up and drop you off at the airport. The food is good and cheap and the gambling is very good do to it being considered a "locals casino". So all in all not too bad. It is not Mandalay Bay but hey it is not bad.
Today everyone wants to go up to Tulsa to see family and have a visit. Don't know yet if I will make the trip as I have a lot of things to do here to get ready for the trip and spending a day out of town may be a little too much. Plus my nephew's little kitten took a fall and hurt her hip and now has trouble getting around and probably needs someone here to watch her and give her pain pills to her etc.
On the gambling front I have had very little time to work on my VP strategy for this trip and I need to make some final adjustments to it and get ready. My bankroll has shrunk with having to use this money to take care of pain in the ass everyday problems that always seem to come around every payday! As it stands now I have enough to play only up to the 50c maybe (maybe) the dollar level but that would be pushing it. It really does not matter since this trip is really all about finding out once and for all if this VP strategy works or not and that can be seen at the 25c or 50c level.
As for the weather in LV during our trip we lucked out there as it is suppose to be in the high 80's with a lot of sun! Amazing for November and great for us. As it stands now no shows are planned but I'm sure we will probably see something during our stay. So much is to get done and planned in the next 48 hours. However with the work thing done it is time to start getting ready and prepared to kick some ass... More later.
