Going to Vegas for a week
can I bring you back anything? Don't ask for money - I'm keeping that for myself. Show Girl? Show Guy? ;-) Glitz? Dice? Wayne Newton?

Well I'll see you all next week! Everyone behave! Well, I guess that's a silly thing to say. Everyone have fun and be nice to one another. See you a week from tomorrow!

:hi:

2. Well,
it's not much dryer than AZ (where I am now ;-) ) but yeah I'll try to remember that :-).

Thanks! If I win a million I'll fly you all out to help celebrate. Well maybe not all 30K DUers but enough to cause a minor riot :-) .

3. How 'bout just me...I was quick to wish you well, right?
Honestly, have a great time. I am jealous. ;)

Side note: my husband has had great luck at the blackjack tables at the Stardust.

4. Deal!
Edited on Thu Aug-07-03 09:01 PM by SiouxJ
If I win a million I'll send you a ticket :-) for being first (and maybe for being the only one who will miss me :-( )

I love Black Jack and am pretty damn good at it actually. However I've won all my big money playing video poker. I've probably hit 15 or so $1000 Royal flushes over the years.

I'll let you know if I win.

8. Very cool
I've been here since 1996 and never been there. I've driven by it a few times, it looks nice on the outside. How much "business" will you be doing? When I was at my former job, all the bigwigs would book a week trip, show up like twice for 1/2 hour and be gone the rest of the time.

14. What do you do?
I finally got to go to the Tropicanna - I live 3 miles from it. The place looked so "old Vegas" - the elevators stank, the carpet was louder than the band, but it still felt comforting. How the heck did I get so old so soon? Oh yeah, I remember....

16. I'm in music merchandising
going for a trade show.

I used to stay at the Trop back when it was nice ;-). It was my home away from home in the 80's.
