THIRTEEN THINGS THAT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN VEGAS:

3. Watched a 'pro' sit at the bar and make a connection with some 50-something guy in a business suit.

4. Walked the exhibit floor three days in a row and entered drawings for three flat-screen TVs and multiple i-Pods (no word on if I was successful).

5. Ate the most incredible Kobe Beef sliders..they were like eating manna from heaven.

6. Had multiple cocktails throughout the trip

7. Woke at 5:00am on Monday and actually tried to get into the gym at the hotel, only to find out it did not open until 6:00am...showed back up at 6:04 to find every machine taken.

7. Missed out on Dancing With The Stars, though TiVo should have it waiting for me when I get home.

8. Ate some great dinners at Joe's Stone Crab, Trattoria Del Lupo ( a Wolfgang Puck joint), Capital Grill.

9. Found out great news about Matt, which I will share with all y'all on Friday or Monday.

10. Lost some money, won some money, lost some money, won some money, lost some money...won a nice amount of money...to be continued...

11. Walked the strip and marveled at the amount of neon in such a small area and saw the water show at the Bellagio...Took some pictures to share Missed it...timing was not right...ugh.

12. Never got to read any blogs...missed y'all.

13. Drove down to Hoover Dam on Wednesday and took a bunch of picture which I will share next week.
