May 30 to June 4th 2008
Friday May 30~~~~~~We arrived in Vegas during rush hour, but with "LOLA " our faithful GPS telling us where we needed to go it was no problem pulling our home on wheels around in all the traffic. Kent does a great job with all those lane changes and exits, Sharon reads a book and keeps quiet!!! Our RV Park is one block from the "California Casino" where Kent will be in the tournament on Monday. It is a block from Fremont street, so we wandered over there to the "Nugget Casino". They gave each of us $5.00 free playing money, Sharon put one dollar in "BIG BERTHA" the huge machine by the door, she won $20, so the next day she did it again and won $20 again. Saturday 31st~~~~ Today we rode a doubledecker bus down the strip, we rode the top level and enjoyed seeing everything. There are so Many Casinos being built and there are those cranes all over like the ones that fell in New York and Miami. We saw 7 of them in one small spot. It is kind of scary when that is what you see on the news of them collapsing over and over.
The casino where the tournament is being held gave us 4 nights free RV parking and a meal book for each of us for 3 meals a day almost any place we wanted to eat. They also let us use the pool if we choose to use it. Our friend Gary arrived here on Saturday, while the guys planned their Keno numbers, Sharon read and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine. Sunday June 1st~~~~ We went to Mass today at the "Cathedral Of Angels" right in the heart of the strip with the beautiful "Wynn Casino" right next door. It has a huge parking lot and we wonder how the Catholic Church ever got that piece of land in such a prime location. The priest had everyone introduce themselves to their neighbor and tell where they were from. I think 98% of us were travelers like us. It sure is a beautiful church and I would recommend it to all of you Catholics to check it out!!!! Monday June 2nd~~~~Tonight was the start of the 3 day Keno tournament that has about 200 players and a $500.00 entry fee that they give you $500.00 in Keno money to spend. You can play all your money in one hour, or you can spend it over the 3 days of the tournament. Kent did real good the first night, he was in 7th place and in the end he was in 42 place. He didn't win any prize money, but he did win back $429.00 playing the games. He had fun and with the 4 days of food and free camping,l we came out ahead and he plans to do it again. He learned a lot from the pro's who do this a lot.
