Hi! Well, the rain is still here and hasn’t let up at all. Flooded areas all over the place. Flooded parking lots and water running in streams down the road. But everything is under control. I haven’t seen any accidents due to the weather which is good.

What did we do last night? We took the pick up truck and visited Palace Station Casino. You can see the Palace Station Casino from where we are staying, but it is across the highway, so you have to take a vehicle out of this parking lot on the main road, over the bridge which goes over the highway and then take a left like you are entering the highway, but instead of bearing left to merge on the highway, just stay on the access road and the casino is right there. The diesel didn’t even have time to warm up!

I like the Station Casinos! There’s are alot of them off the strip. You won’t find a Station Casino on the Las Vegas strip. There’s the Palace Station, Santa Fe Station, Sunset Station, Texas Station, Boulder Station, and many more. They are spread out all around the outside area of the Las Vegas strip. You can’t walk to any of them, you have to drive. So last night at the Palace Casino, I bought my live Keno tickets. OH, the best thing about the Palace Casino is that they have 10 cent Keno!!!!! So I bought 50 games for 5 bucks! To go through 50 games, it takes 5 hours and we didn’t stay there for 5 hours, so next week I’ll have to go back to find out if I won, or maybe I’ll call and find out. The top prize is $10,000. I could be a winner!

So we stuck around the Palace Casino for about 3 hours and I play the Quick Pics slot machines. I should sneak a picture of the Quick Pics slot machines for you because I must say that it is my favorite slot machine. So, anyways, I hit the bonus feature of the Quick Pic slot machine and I won 20 free spins! I love free spins!

So the reels took off by themselves and start spinning. The first seven or eight spins turned out about 5 dollars each and then by the 15th spin it started cranking out the cash and by the time the bonus feature was done, the slot machine payout display showed $559.00. Whoa! Not bad! Not enough to buy an exotic car, but I’m just warming up. I see a big jackpot in my future!

So that was my night. We came back to the RV and watched TV for the rest of the night. I know if it wasn’t raining out, we would of walked around at night and enjoyed the Las Vegas neon lights, but the weather discouraged that idea.

But that’s what you do in Las Vegas, you stay up late and sleep all morning because, basically, nothing really happens in the morning, unless you live in THIS RV. This morning around 8:30am someone knocked on our camper door and Jake woke up and took off like a missile off my bed and started barking at the door. What a super dog!! To tell us someone is at the door. Good dog! It’s some guy that tells us that he owns a Montana “over there” and his TV isn’t working and he was wondering how to get his TV to work. NO, we did not open the door, Dad spoke to him through the screen next to the door telling him to buy a “box” and try scanning the channels again. I guess the guy was okay with that answer because he said “ok, thank you” and walked across the parking lot. Strange huh? Maybe he was an honest guy, maybe he wasn’t, but don’t be knocking on doors at 8 in the morning in Las Vegas, I guarantee you no one is up. Weird situation huh? What do you think about that one?

Anyways, we were awoken at 8:30am, so we stayed up, and this morning it was still raining and we headed down to the Caesars Palace Casino down on the Las Vegas strip with the help of our bus pass. I got half way there and realized, dummy me, I forget my camera. Grrrrr…. So I managed to get a few snap shots with my Blackberry. YEAH, exactly – forgot the camera, but can’t walk or breath without the Blackberry!

Sorry

So, I know it’s not the best picture quality but it’s something……

We walked through Margaritaville to the Flamingo Casino (love Margaritaville) and just did some casino hopping…….

This is a picture of a statue inside Caesar’s Palace…..ugh, poor pic quality. I’m sure we will go back there and I’ll bring my camera next time….promise!

Inside Caesar’s Palace. It’s huge inside……there’s many shops and a huge casino inside. I didn’t win any money in this place today…….

We ate at Planet Hollywood inside Caesar’s Palace……

Hello Rocky!

And the Terminator has it’s own drink! In case you can’t read this, it’s a strange concoction, it says: A cyborg’s mixture of Rain vodka, Don Q Cristal, gin, triple sec, Kahlua, and sweet & sour splashed with cranberry juice then topped off withHmmmmm….thanks, but I’ll pass……. draught beer. This one will leave you saying “I’ll be back!”. I’m not too sure about this drink. I’m sure it’s good, but all that alcohol, juice, and beer mixed together.

So, that’s what we did today! Super fun day despite the weather. This afternoon (it’s 4pm now) we are relaxing in the RV. Jake is doing good, just fed him and I can see that he’s sleeping right now. The weather channel is on TV with predictable news about the wet weather.

I wanted to mention to you that when I started this blog, my purpose behind this blog is to tell you an entertaining story, well, half way entertaining story for you to follow me around this great big country, but the opposite has happened. Recent comments that have come in to this blog has entertained me. When someone leaves a comment to my blog, it pings my email account on my Blackberry instantly and I read it and approve it or deny it. A few times recently, I’d be plopping my money into a slot machine and dying laughing at your comments. You guys crack me up! And I just wanted to mention that to you!

A comment came in yesterday wanting to know about my current situation about my bicycle accident injuries, how it was healing up and all. After 10 days, my face has healed up nicely, you can’t see any marks at all. My left knee still has a bruise about the size of a half dollar coin still healing. Yeah, a bruise still healing after 10 days, wow. The black and blue has turned to a dark red. And both the palms on my hands have a long way to go to heal completely. There are still several skin layers missing that still needs to naturally repair themselves. But! But, nothing hurts anymore, so I’m a happy girl! Thanks for asking!

I’m not sure what we are doing tonight but I’m sure we are going to venture out somewhere. I’ll bring my camera, because when we leave the RV, there’s no telling where we might end up and what we might see! Have a great night and I’ll be back tomorrow!
