High Rollers

Tuesday we set a more leisurely pace, eating a late breakfast at Planet Dailies, a restaurant in the Planet Hollywood casino. Even in the back corner, it was hard to hear each other talk.

Next we decided to take a cab to the Venetian. We walked through the lobby and casino & took an escalator up to the Palazzo floor where we felt as if we were walking in Venice at dusk. We had to pass all the shops and go to the end of the canal in order to buy tickets and for the gondola ride. We shared a gondola with a couple from England and our gondolier hammed it up and sang.

We shared a $3.50 bottle of water and headed back to our hotel.

In the evening we ate a quieter meal at Planet Dailies (were all the Memorial Weekend revelers gone?) and played the nickel machines, high rollers that we are! On the first pass I won $3.00 and cashed out. On the second I won $3.50. I broke a $10, gave probably $4.00 to Mom & she added a couple ones of her own. So, I probably put $6.00 into the slots and came away with $6.50. Mom said I was like my dad, cashing in when I won something more than a credit or two.

You probably don't want to take me along on your next gambling vacation! :-)

We took my camera and went back to watch the musical water in front of the Bellagio, enjoying it very much, once again.
