Las Vegas, Day 2
Last I left you, I had gone to the Luxor to meet up with Cindy, Glenn, and Mox. Mox actually saw me parking my car and parked near me, so we were able to hunt for C&G together. It wasn't that difficult, as Glenn was seated near the entrance to the casino. We went to a gift shop because Jenn texted me to request that I buy her a cheap toothbrush. Are there expensive
toothbrushes?
Cindy caught up to us, and she, Mox and I walked around for awhile to check out the different slot machines. Glenn went to the craps tables. Did y'all know that pregnant women are the luckiest people to have at a table? Neither did I, but apparently that is so, according to Glenn. We checked out the bank of progressive ebay slots, and would have played if 3 chairs became available, but no. I found my Mystical Mermaid game, won a Splish-Splash bonus round on my first play, and told the other 2 that I'd see them later. I then realized that this was the game that I had been asking my brother about when he was working for IGT. I had said to him that it was not the game that he told me it was, and I was wrong. Here I am, Bro, publicly telling everyone that you were right. Aren't you proud?
Once I started losing, I walked around a little bit more, played a couple of other games, and ended up finding a Texas Tea game, which was fun, even though I'm not fond of oil magnates. Cindy and Mox then found me and introduced me to some cascading jewels game that pissed me off because I wasn't getting to the bonus round, and my anger transferred to Mox, who had introduced me to the game. Well, at least I had only played with $8.00 for 2 hours, and had fun. By then, it was about 2:30 a.m., so we called it a night and I went back to the Cancun. It was really dark in the room, but I didn't want to wake up Jenn and KP, so I somehow muddled my way through.

I ended up waking up first because I guess I'm insane. We took lots of pictures with the PFCV, and sat outside by the jacuzzi to eat the dessert we hadn't eaten the night before. We met up with the others at the Wynn and had a yummy breakfast at the cafe. I had the Maine Lobster Eggs Benedict, which was decadent, but hey -- we're in Vegas, baby! I thought it was interesting that our chairs had handles on the back of them so that you could carry them or pull them out for someone to sit. That's nice! I wanted to play for another hour, so we said our goodbyes to Mox, Glenn, and Cindy, and then the 3 of us split up and did our own thing. I found my new favorite game: Aliens from the Planet Moo-lah, which I had played before. in Sacramento. OMG, I love those cows. Moo? It's a cascading game, and the bonus round usually gives a lot, and it's just plain entertaining. I ended up breaking even, so I was happy. I met up with KP and Jenn. KP had walked around the Wynn and did some sketching. Jenn held up a chip to show me what she won at the WPT Texas Hold 'Em table. She's going to be able to get a NICE dress, I'll tell you that much!
Eating Dessert for Breakfast
We went back to the resort to finish packing, and Jenn left to spend time with her mom and do some dress shopping. :) KP and I took naps before leaving our beautiful suite. KP and I reluctantly gave up the PFCV at the airport, and got on our plane. Back in Ontario, I waited with KP while she looked for her own car, but Wanda drove up in a minivan instead. When I got home, I was just plain exhausted.
Unfortunately, Cindy and Glenn's flight home didn't happen as soon as they had hoped. Their plane ended up being delayed for over an hour, but at least they got home safely, as did Mox on his drive back to work. Work?! ICK.
Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow
Thank you, everyone, for your company this weekend. I had a great time, I only lost $8.00, and we saw the Pella perform in one of their funniest shows EVER.
