Andrea Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 I don't want to be greedy, so the next person who needs the 000 pass to put in the slot machines, it has returned Had a nice time in Vegas. Got lucky enough on the slots to make it a "free trip". Only issue I had was on Sat for some reason at the Luxor I thought about my mom and everyonehere, cried for 5 minutes and then continued to enjoy the rest of the trip. My mom is still very lethargic and weak, seems like she is having an abnormal Iressa side effect in that respect. I wore my LCSC t-shirt in the casino. Sometime told me I was in the wrong place if I had lung cancer (smoke in casinos). Lots to read on the board. I was sad to read a lot of the news, and at the same time thrilled to read about Connie. You go girl! Such a rollercoaster. I am rambling for no apparent reason now. So love, hugs, and everyone be well. Quote
brm1949 Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 Glad to hear your trip was for free. Sorry about the sadness you felt. You need a break from this stuff from time to time, prayers for your mother. Quote
cathy Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 Andrea, You sure were lucky to win enough to have the trip paid for.. That only happened to us once and we have been there more than 10 times CONGRATS Quote
stand4hope Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 Welcome back, Andrea. I'm glad you won enough to pay for your trip - that means you can go again next month, right? Love, Peggy Quote
pecola Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 Yeah, Andrea! Congrats on your luck. Send some my way. Glad you are back. Gina Quote
Andrea Posted July 12, 2004 Author Posted July 12, 2004 Next weekend? Hmmm, it is only a 4 hour drive Here is what happened--we went with friends who don't really gamble. We like to do a bit of slots and roulette. We parted ways last night at the end of our trip. Last night I was starting to get anxious, I was sad about cancer and my mom and everyone here, etc. I was down about $140 total and was done. Brian was playing. Suddenly, there it was at Circus Circus--- a carousel that had slot machines I was like how cool, it goes around in a circle, you can see the trapeeze circus show above you, it is like a ride. I had to do it just for fun. But it was $1 slots and those are usually forbidden. I was like life is too short, go for it. So I went! I put in $60 and I was up to $300. SUDDENLY I WON THE $1,000 jackpot!!!!!!! Then I couldn't stop, I had to turn the $300 into $500 and finally did. So I won $1500!!!!! But there was a price to pay. Brian could not see me from his roulette table and was not keeping an eye on me. Circus Circus is not the classiest place and no one was helping me. I had to cash out $500 of coins and carry them myself. It was 4 buckets which I could barely load and carry!!!!! I broke out in such a sweat I was pleased. It made up for the ridiculously priced dinner we had on Fri night with our friends, $100 for 2 people. Oy vey! Quote

Nushka Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 Andrea, So glad you didn't have to put your hall pass in the slots. Sounds like your trip was great. I have a very low limit but I do bet the dollar slots. If I don't win after $20 I leave it. I usually start to win little amounts and end up with more than I put in. A free trip to Vegas is a bonus. Glad you are back. Nina Quote
