Off to Nevada

Southwest has a direct flight from Buffalo to Vegas. Definitely worth it.

We have done this type of trip many times. Usually, we were able to secure non stop (I assume that's what you mean by direct) flights both ways. This time, we were appalled that no non stop flights were available. I am glad to see that they have now been restored.

Orlando is just lovely this time of year. Or most any time.
The Bills win yesterday may have given you that winner's edge mentality so vital in Sin City.

On Saturday, we did play a little bit at Harrahs on the strip. The video poker offerings there are pretty awful. But, we did decide to play a 1c 100 line pretty crappy deuces wild bonus game for a while. Surprisingly, I came out plus $547 for the session, thanks to some quite nice deals. The first one was three deuces plus an ace. On the draw, I hit the four deuces with ace twice, plus many many wild royals and five aces, for about a total of about 10500 credits. There were two or three other times I was dealt three deuces, and totalled 7500 - 8500 credits on the draw. And, best of all, I was dealt five aces for a 40,000 credit bonanza. My wife was down $300, but a team plus on such a poor game was nice.

At the Tropicana Laughlin, where we now are, I had a pretty poor start to things on Sunday, with a $1200 loss on 50c 5 line bonus poker. And I followed that up with a $700 out of pocket loss yesterday, some on 50c 5 line bonus poker, and some on 25c 10 line deuces wild. My loss was actually $1300, but $600 of it was "free play", and not out of my wallet.

Today, the 50c 5 line bonus poker was cruel to me again, with a $800 loss. I switched to the 25c 10 line deuces wild game, and things finally turned around a bit. I hit the deuces three times, and thankfully, added in a $1000 royal, for a plus $1620 session. My wife is within a couple of hundred dollars of even for the trip, so things look a little less grim now.
