I wouldn’t say that Vegas is our cup of tea. I guess it was about like I imagined it would be, but it was all still a bit overwhelming. We were just there for one night, and we stayed at the MGM Grand which was really nice. We arrived late in the evening so we took a stroll down “the strip” and did some sightseeing, including a stop to watch the fountain show outside the Bellagio that made an appearance in Ocean’s Eleven.

Then we headed back to our hotel for a delicious dinner at Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant and spent some time at the slot machines. I put $1 into a penny slot machine and within seconds I turned it into $4.30. Not a bad return for my first gambling experience. I cashed out and moved on to some other slot machines where I subsequently lost that $4.30 plus another $2 in a matter of minutes. And that’s how Vegas makes its money. Kolby followed a similar pattern, first doubling his money and then losing it all plus some more. I think we ended the night down $6 or so. What can I say, we’re not high rollers :)
