*SIGH* I am not in the mood to drive to Barstow today. Unfortunately, it was important for my car. Strangely went I moved to vegas, I did not have a problem getting my smog test in NV. However, this year it is. I have CA plates and I have to drive all the way to Barstow for the only smog test in…

Right now we're in a motel in Elko, Nevada. When I look out the window I see nothing but rocks, dust and mountains rising in the distance. The motel is located on a small cliff on the edge of town. It gives the illusion of being in the desert in the middle of nowhere.This is the final stretch on ou…

Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens tribute to summer runs through September 12th.  Reminiscent of the lazy days of the year’s longest season, the exhibit features colorful cold air balloons, a spectacular Ferris wheel and patriotic displays of the Stars and Stripes. The d…

Today we were all going over to Sal's for mine and Adrians birthday celebrations. Sal picked us up at the Flamingo early in the afternoon and we went back to his via a bit of booze shopping. More and more people turned up both new and old faces. We had a spot of lunch courtesy of Sals bbq. After th…

The last day to win money, eat restaurant food, sleep in a hotel/motel, and buy souvenirs. Another day to rest, stretch our muscles, take it easy, eat like kings and queens and try unsuccessfully to win a fortune. Tomorrow will be a much more exciting day. Tomorrow we head for home, and have de…

This was honestly one of my favorite Vegas trips to date. Almost everyone i could have wanted to come did. we had such a large group that no matter what we did was a great time. We started out the weekend on Friday night. We decided to just walk the strip since we had barely gotten there around 2 a…

... what do you get you ask??  A lot less than what you came with.  And depending on what you end up doing, then maybe more LMAO!  I remember once in my younger years meeting a guy... his name is Robbie.  Robbie and I met at 54 @ the MGM.  He and I were partying with friend…

The sound of the wheels touching down ...Dan and I walked towards our luggage and while walking Dan texted Mel (mellemel8) as was pre-arranged ... She texted back and we waited in anticipation ... I was excited to meet-up with Mel again, I hadn't seen her in 8 months since my last TB meet-up in Tuc…

So I got to Vegas on Friday after a 4 hour drive...I did great on time and mileage on the way there, beside the small bit of traffic because a a car on fire... it was all good!  We chowed down at In-n-Out and made out way to the Monte Carlo Hotel, which I just realized I did not get one single…

Exploring the strip! Enjoy the pics. It is not complete because... WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS!

Woke up with a heavy heart, back to the Netherlands today. Finished packing and received a few early birthday presents and then had to pack all over again to fit them in my now-to-be-checked suitcase. We returned the rental car and popped in to Roberto's next door for some tacos for breakfast.&nb…

After a great afternoon in Lake Tahoe, we ventured off to Reno so Liz could check out a little gambling and the casinos since we didn't have time to get her to Vegas on this visit.  Reno is about 20-30 minutes past Lake Tahoe so I couldn't pass on the opportunity to take Liz up there!  …
