\"\"<\/a>Driving to Vegas in August\u2026 what was I thinking? It was 110 degrees! Going to hell doesn\u2019t scare me now. We went for three days and I guess I’m not a very good traveller. It took me more days to pack than we spent in Vegas. I had to bring sandwiches & drinks for the road, 110 proof sunblock, my own sheets, my teapot, disinfectant wipes, hard boiled eggs, phone chargers, my skincare products… \u00a0I forgot my face scrub but that\u2019s okay \u2013 I just rubbed my face with the hotel washcloth. When we hit the casino, I couldn’t breathe. I said to Denis, “This must be a \u00a0smokers’ convention.” Or else people who quit years ago were so stressed about losing money, they started smoking again. \u00a0I tried to have fun but it seems like I enjoyed Vegas more when I was younger. The clubs are all so loud. Where I enjoyed the music most on this trip, was in the elevator.<\/p>\n

They need more Cirque du Soleil shows in Vegas. Com’on! There’s too many! They\u2019re not even exciting any more. With titles like \u201cO\u201d and \u201cKA\u201d I should send them my idea: \u201cBLAH\u201d \u2013 acrobatics based on the history of how paint dries. Even my gambling was a bust.\u00a0I lost my twenty dollars at \u00a0blackjack in less than a minute. They should call it Whackjack: \u00a0as soon as \u00a0you start putting money on the table, they whack you with a big stick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
