our first foray into vegas life
was a spin on the wheel of fortune
easy come, easy go.

My brother-in-law Jay just retired as a life long dealer in Vegas. Pretty cool the tricks he can do with a deck of cards when he shows off for us.

We had more fun seeing the shows and walking the strip, going into all the different casino’s. The casino’s have so much to see. I miss the coins dropping even though they made your hands filthy.
