Leaving Las Vegas - Always a happy ending

I thought I was done with this particular blog segment, but Vegas has a knack of keeping you involved right to the end. We left the hotel at 10.15 and arrived at the airport in plenty of time for our noon hour flight. More time than we needed, since they advised us our flight had been pushed back to 1.15pm.

Normal people would find a quiet corner to rest in, and wait for their flight. Not us - we inveterates! We walked directly over to the taxi stand; headed back to the Venetian; dumped our luggage in our original room - the keys still worked; and headed downstairs for an hour of blackjack.

In the taxi on the way Svetlana found a penny on the floor. She was really pleased as for sure this meant Lady Luck would smile on us.

She was right. We bought in for $600 at a $25 table; never were down more than $175; and by the end of an hour we were to the good $725.

Subtract $40 for the two extra cab fares, and a happy ending was still had by all !

Seems as if you and Vegas are quite well suited -- all puns intended; absolutely!
