We are going to Vegas on Thursday!! It will be myself, Abe, my two sisters and their respective significant others. Zane is spending 3 1/2 days with Abe's Dad and Step-Mom. This entire ordeal will be a first on many levels. I have never been to Vegas. The six of us have never taken a trip together without kids along. Zane has never spent more than one night at Pa-pa and Me-ma's house without Mom and Dad there. And he has never been anywhere without Mom and Dad for more than one night. I think I am prepared for all of it mentally, and I know it will be harder on us than it will on Zane. As tough as it will be to go 3 1/2 days without Zane I am totally looking forward to 3 1/2 days without Zane!!! Part of me feels guilty, but the thought of riding on an airplane without keeping a 3 year old entertained sounds so exciting. Staying in a hotel without keeping a 3 year old entertained sounds so exciting. Sleeping whenever, eating whenever and wherever without worrying about a 3 year old sounds so exciting. Now add to that all the excitement that one should expect from Vegas and I am practically bubbling over with excitement.
In preparation for our trip (aka procrastination from packing) I just read how to play craps. It seems that craps offers up the best odds when it comes to gambling, which we fully intend to do (on a budget, of course). So being that I have never played it before and Abe learned while drunk, we need to have ourselves a little crash course. It actually does sound a lot easier than it looks. I've always been intimidated by the Craps table in casinos. I usually stick to slots and blackjack. Since I want to come home with more money than I left with, I think I will give Craps a serious try. I'm off to read more about it from another source. Tips or advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Other than that, just wish us crazy luck!!!

Pass or Don't Pass. And $6 on 6 & 8. Stick with that and you should do alright with a decent shooter.
I have no advice for you, just wishing crazy luck! Which means if you win big you have to buy me a pricy present..haha!
And no need to feel guilty...enjoy it you won't be able to do something like this for a while esp with baby #2 coming...which by the way does he have a name yet?
oh yeah, and whats up with all these posts with no pictures...you just got a brand new camera!
It's all about the luck. If money gets tight, I suggest quarter slots in a big hotel like Ceasars. Convince a server to keep bringing drinks, find a fun machine, and you're in for hours of fun.
Have a great time, guys! And when you get back we are in baby time!!! I am shower happy.
Most of the casinos these days have teaching sessions on how to play the various games. Ask them when you check in, and they'll have a pamphlet listing the class times for the various games.
