A couple weeks ago, Jason and I took a last-minute trip to Vegas. We got a place through his timeshare really cheap for a week. We left AZ Sunday afternoon and stayed til Wednesday. We had a BLAST!! Most of our time was spent in the casinos. I concluded from the trip that while we both had our share of wins and losses, Jason is overall much luckier than I am :) On Tuesday, we were at Planet Hollywood playing video poker and I had surprisingly, gotten on a roll and Jason had lost quite a few hands in a row. He decided to stop playing max credits for a while so he could make his money last a little longer. Well what do you know, he hits a ROYAL FLUSH! He was so bummed because what should have been $1,000 ended up being around $120 since he was not playing max credits. I am sure he would not have hit the royal flush had he been playing max credits, but you still want to kick yourself! A little later in the day, we went to another casino and I had run out of my allocated funds for the day and Jason was winning so he handed me $20 to play on my game. After losing about $19 in 3 minutes, I was down to 3 credits (I think 5 was the max). This was my next spin...
We couldn't believe it! Not only did we hit ONE royal flush not playing max credits, we hit TWO not playing max credits! I'm sure you can imagine our frustration! Even though I didn't win the $1,000 that I would have won had I been playing max credits, we still won $180. Being the sweet boyfriend that he is, Jason let me keep $100 of it to use the rest of the day since I didn't want to lose any more money.
Other than our casino escapades, we were able to go see the Beatles Love Cirque du Soleil show at the Mirage. It was SO cool! It was the first Cirque du Soleil show I had ever been to and it did not disappoint. It is amazing to me the talents that some people have! Since cameras were not allowed in the theatre, I could not take any pictures. :( After the show, we went to The Bank at the Bellagio for a little bit. We just love to people watch so we had fun! We saw the professional poker player, Phil Ivey along with Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups.

♥ After Beatles Love ♥We also played golf one day at The Badlands. It was one of the hardest courses I have ever played but it was a lot of fun! Definitely target golf which I seem to have issues with a lot of the time. My favorite part was seeing all the beautiful houses along the golf courses and counting their chimneys. I think one house had 7 fireplaces. I always wonder what the owners of massive homes like those do for a living.
One of my favorite houses on the course.
