Fabulous Las Vegs...for $20.00 a day!

You know, you've really gotta love a place like Las Vegas. We won this trip, so airfare and hotel was free. We got to the hotel at about 7:30pm, and decided to go for a little walk to find out where we wanted to eat dinner. We walked into the Stratosphere and someone gave us their tickets to see the view from the top of the hotel (a great view of Las Vegas, actually). We were delighted to discover that those tickets were worth about $10.00 each. Then after an awesome dinner at the Crazy Armadillo...(more on that place in a minute)...we went back to our hotel where we were offered four free buffets and show tickets if we listened to a sales pitch for a timeshare. Now, normally we would have run the other way....quickly...but since we had no other plans and were just there to relax without our usual three year old company, we decided to do it.

Well, to make a long story shorter....we went to the sales pitch, participated in a game show there that earned us more free buffets, and left three hours later with free pretzels and crackers, a big headache from the high pressure sales, but still on top with our free meals and show.

So, we spent thirty dollars on dinner the first night...five dollars on a souvenier for Madison...and five for breakfast at the airport this morning. Ta da!! Las Vegas for fourty dollars in two days! We decided it wasn't too shabby, considering we got a virtually free vacation, including meals and entertainment...and all we had to do was drive to Salt Lake....where we needed to go anyway to buy some stuff for the big move!!

Viva Las Vegas!!
