Viva Las Vegas!

We made it here and to say it is overwhelming is a great understatement.  Lights light lights.  It is absolutely amazing. The English language only goes so far with the adjectives, and I could use them all to describe this place.
Because this computer takes waaaaay too long, I'm not going to do any pictures, unless we find an internet cafe or something.  It just takes hours to do, I'm not kidding.
Anyway onto our day. Yesterday was basically just travelling here but once we got here, wow!  We have always experienced running into someone we know when we leave home only yesterday takes the cake!  We are in the US departure area, where lo and behold, Dad says, oh look there's Tim Warwick, our next door neighbour.  I'm thinking, oh yeah someone who looks like Tim Warwick.  You always see people who resemble others.  I said yeah it does look...That IS him!  Who would have thunk that! 
The flight here was  uneventful.  Just a lot of people ready to loose their shirt.  Here's my story....Playing Deuces Wild poker on a machine.  Had $10.00 in.  Got kind of bored betting 0.25 at a time and decided to up my bet.  Should have known, pressed a button and there goes all my loot into the next bet.  All I could think of was that that money was gone gone.  Up comes a full house and all of a sudden I'm $75.00 richer!  I just took my money and ran, my heart was beating so fast!
Curt has had some lucky streaks too as has your dad.  Today probably won't be like that but you never know.
We hope today to go on Price is Right.  I guess not the TV one, but should be fun just the same!  We also hope to go either to the Lione King or some comedian.  The sun is shining so brightly and it looks so nice and warm outside. 
The say a picture is worth a thousand words.  We've taken a lot of them and will try to find a way to get them on here.\
I'll sign off for now, and hopefully carry on later today.
Love to you all!
