gambler and drinker
but we have lots of other ideas
up our sleeves.

Vegas is a must at least once in your life, I say. Don’t need to be a gambler (I sure as heck am not). Just walking up and down the strip, stepping inside to see the public washrooms is an adventure. Such oppulence…
Have a wonderful time!

I’m no gambler, and have never been to America. But I admit that Vegas has a ‘certain appeal’.
Have a lovely time.
Best wishes, Pete.

Beth, I have a long history in Las Vegas – I used to go there every year for the Consumer Electronics Expo event – and when 100,000 of your fellow nerds all show up at the same time? Fun ensues…you will have a blast – so much to see and do and you don’t have to gamble – although the dollar “Wheel Of Fortune” slot machine is really fun when it shouts those three words at you!

I’ll do a bit of it, usually black jack or roulette and then I’m off to other things )

Have fun! I love the natural landscape around Vegas. Totally captivating. And Chinese food? Just like China in restaurants where they don’t speak English. I don’t gamble or drink, so that’s irrelevant to me, but there is a lot more there.

Vegas can be a fun area. I highly recommend the Hoover Dam tour. Awesome. And Erick Begay has a great little jewelry store in Boulder. https://erickbegay.com/

Have a wonderful time re-discovering why you like your quiet life so much! Vegas is something I want to see simply to say “I’ve been to Vegas”, but I don’t drink and while I could be addicted to gambling, I can’t afford to be. Enjoy the lights and sights!

I went there when I was in my thirties, some forty-odd years ago. I went with Gary Oldman’s sister before she was on the TV over here. He had just finished being filmed in JFK.

The only time I ever came out ahead gambling in Nevada was on a business trip. I was a couple hundred dollars up when my colleagues stuffed me into our ride to the airport before I had time to lose it all back.
