Darren and I went to Vegas last week with our neighbors, Larry and Darlene. It was a free flight they offered us to our favorite city, so we couldn't pass it up! We stayed at the Sahara, which is on the north end of the stip, close to the Stratosphere. It was extremely hot the entire trip, over 100 degrees every day. Darren and I were both winners the first night. We tried to get Larry and Darlene to gamble and they decided to play roulette. Darlene hit on black 11, so she was happy. Larry walked away a winner then we taught him how to play Black Jack and we couldn't tear him away. We went to see Roseanne Barr, who was very disappointing. We paid $10 to a couple who didn't feel like going, now I know why. I went to see The Coasters, Platters, and Marvelettes perform in our casino with Larry and Darlene while Darren gambled. It was a pretty good show, but Darren was having more fun because a waitress offered him a suite that was available. Apparently she had seen him in the casino giving away his money, so we upgraded with our winnings on the second night-see photos. We didn't ride any rides, but we took Larry up to the top of the Stratosphere so he could see the top and all of Vegas. He couldn't stop talking about how much fun he had. Overall, we all had a good time, but couldn't wait to get back to Alaska...where it was 52 degrees and rainy. Doesn't look like it's supposed to clear up any time soon. Let's hope this isn't a sign of a bad winter, or we might have to take another vacation.
