Settled in enough to actually blog today. Day 1 we landed and went straight to In and Out Burger – a Vegas staple for an East Coaster. Followed by a quick trip downtown for a visit to the Golden Nugget. I adore old school divey casinos and the Nugget definitely fulfills that desire. A visit to their poolside tables may be in order.
Had dinner at The Venetian – the cheeseburger at The Grand Lux is another favorite (is there a cheeseburger theme this trip?). Only played a few slots…the boyfriend was tired.
Day 2 was all about The Rio, Mirage and Casino Royale. We saw LOVE and it was amazing…Jubilee, Le Reve and Peepshow are on my list of other shows so hopefully I can fit in at least one more. $5 blackjack at Casino Royale till 4:30a..the boyfriend won which is always good. 
I could spend hours at the casinos!
Day 3 we slept in, shopped, more In and Out and then bowled at SouthPoint which is off the strip.
Hit my personal best of 133 in game 1 and went down from there. Good times with old friends who happened to be in town.
Day 4 we were up for breakfast by 8a which is a major Vegas accomplishment. Heading out to the Hoover Dam…we rented a car this trip which has been nice. Traffic hasn’t been horrible and it’s easy to get around.
Still on my list – MGM, Mandalay Bay and definitely more Casino Royale. BF wants to see the mob museum at The Trop too.
This afternoon is all about being poolside in a new bathing suit with my Jackie Collins book…perfect for a Vegas vacation!
