Morning Froggy & GG,

Any suggestions for today's numbers (seeing as you've both been so madly successful thus far!!) 30 is a given for the first spin. May well try my hand at a midday poker competition - surely no-one loses on their birthday?!

Cheers,

Billy

Well, I'd say 49 as that's my age . However, as I don't think the wheel is that big :rotfl: I'm happy with 30 + 19 .

Morning All,

Froggy - you're what we term a sook! All unabashed Gallic charm, bless ya!

I'll have a crack at 19 today. After my update last night, I decided that I couldn't leave my birthday on a losing note so wandered downstairs to the casino and won $80 on my first spin of the machine. That as more like it as it bumped yesterday's winnings tomover the $200 mark.

Everything is still going fairly grand. It may just be us, but, having had a few years to reference now, we seem to be lucky and unlucky in specific hotels. Mandalay Bay, New York New York and Luxor are very rarely good to us whilst Monte Carlo, Tropicana, Excalibur, Wynn and Venetian tend to treat us much better. I think I've now called it a day with NYNY - the casino isn't brilliant anyway and the machines are properly tight every time.

Moyra's shopping find now stands at a somewhat more respectable $1,010. We're aiming for somewhere around the $2,000 mark so we're doing ok for the most part. Today will be Planet Hollywood, Paris, Ballys, Bill's, Flamingo, Imperial Palace, Casino Royale and O'Sheas. Planning a PF Changs for dinner - all after another wee bake in the midday sun.

Yesterday, we were wandering down to Mandalay Bay and we seen something that just epitomises Vegas for me. There was a guy standing on the strip outside Excalibur shouting abuse at the Thunder from Down Under poster (I think explaining to them in no uncertain terms that all strippers should be female). He wandered all the way down to Mandalay Bay in front of us with a bag full of the cards the !!!!!! slappers use to pimp their prostitutes in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other. He was wearing only a straw cowboy hat, a tartan miniskirt and knee high cowboy boots. The best thing was that we (and he) passed about 30 people coming the other way and not one of them gave him a second look. The amount of things that "that's just Vegas!" covers is bigger than I thought...

I dragged everyone to see the Bee Gees tribute act yesterday which proved on one hand to be a big mistake as they were awful but the people watching was something else. Just before the show started, some bird in just her underwear was getting photos taken in front of the stage. I thought it was a promo thing but it was actually just some bird in her underwear who had come to see the show and clearly decided (no doubt prompted a wee bit by the creepy cameraman) that she needed to strike a few poses wherever she went. The best person was the old boy who was up dancing the entire time. If I get to 90 and have the movement to pull off 90 minutes of dancing, the brazenness to grind against every woman in the room and the attitude to say "f*ck it, you only live once so enjoy yourself" - a direct quote from him after the show, I think I may be doing something right! I'm not sure what I was expecting to be honest with the show. I suppose I wanted it to be a bit more deferential but it was an attempt to copy the one night only show the Bee Gees did in Vegas in 1997 and, unfortunately, the Barry and Robin weren't up to the task at all. Their schtick was all over the place and what I think was supposed to be an effort at English accents were just bizarre. The show gets good reviews (until I get on the case) but there are clearly a lot of people that haven't a clue what they're withering about. I'm a proper authority on the Bee Gees and these boys unfortunately fell a long way short - still had fun with it though...

I'm now not 100% sure brining easy Internet access with us was the best of ideas. We have a shopping list from friends and family that is ever growing. There's a mass of stuff to pick up so Moyra will doubtless get her happy snap with all the bags she'll accumulate over the three-day shopping event which begins on Sunday.

Good machines have again proven to be Wizard of Oz (ruby slippers (Moyra was one progressive away from $4000 yesterday), Betti the Yeti, Dam Lumberjack Beavers, Monopoly Bonus City, Monopoly Up Up and Away, rainbow riches, crystal forest, I dream of jeannie, Texas tea, used cars and sultans riches and lucky larry's lobster mania. We're now 100% certain that Texas Tea and Lucky Larry's Lobstermania are the two machines we're going to buy for the big house pub.

Hope everyone is well.

Cheers,

Billy

Now that's more like it - up $250 on the day - hope the luck lasts another five days...

Cheers,
