Well after the joys of LA we hopped into our motor and headed off to Vegas. Fully loaded with a McDonalds Meal - can I supersize that sir? no god damn it thats why yer all so fat !!
We headed for wonderland. My good buddy Joey had his stag do there last year and I was itching for a piece of the action. We hit the cruise control and 3 hours later we were in Town. What can I say. First impressions, just amazing. We cruised down the strip past all the amazing casinos. Man I've been here on so many films and holiday programmes it was just sweet driving by and taking it all in.
We parked up and went into the Golden Nugget Hotel. I'm grinning, another Four Seasons moment. After check in we wandered toward the lifts, a lady asks us kindly " have you picked up your free gifts" no I reply like someone about to get suckered, I say with a smile "Theres no such thing as a free lunch" she laughed and handed us over to another smooth talker. I'm gonna give you $100 dollars of free chips bla bla bla before trying to blag us onto some crummy time share thing. We make our excuses and head up to the 30th floor. Wow what a view and real comfy room, yippee lets go gamble!!
A great moment, after 9 months we meet Diane's dad Ralph at the airport. Just great to have Ralph join us. I knew Diane was so looking forward to it. Our little ol US road trip could begin
Sights and sounds of Vegas. Impossible to capture the atmosphere and sheer scale of it all.
Look at those lovely chips. Fair play, me and Diane are hardly high rollers, after skulking around like criminals for an hour we plucked up courage to stick a few bucks in a fruit machine. I'm like "God Diane we have to pull ourselves together and go on the black jack or something, this is ridiculous, we're in Vegas!!" It was comedy. We had 2 lessons on the craps table and knew less than when we started !! Undaunted we head for a black jack lesson and our first time at the table. We find a table with no one on it. I sheepishly announce it's my first time to the croupier. "I'm as green as the grass" and can she "go easy on me"!! Dianes loving this. I change $100 into chips, cool, now feeling like Kerry Packer, get a JDnC for courage. Well, with a considerable amount of help from our lovely dealer I'm sitting on $200 bucks. I ask for some advice at this point and she tells me that the mistake most people make is staying on the table too long :) I smiled and cashed in. We walked away like the cats that got the cream meeee owwwwwww :) Me an Di chests puffed out am in arm strolling of fto bed, great night out at the Golden Nugget.
Di and her dad in the pool. huge tank next to it full of sharks, really cool.

I'm looking smug just took the house for £100 buckeroos, oh yea this guy knows how t' spend. Think I'll have another root beer:)
