That was a 2 hour layover between flights. We did play the slots right in the terminal while waiting for our flight. Does that count as going to Las Vegas? 🤣 Seems to have gotten that "Gotta go to Vegas " out of our system. That and AC used to be only about an hour from where we lived in NJ. Many, many years ago we stayed in a beach house in Brigantine, NJ for a few days. We laughed at the billboards along the highway announcing gambling would be coming to AC. No way, we thought. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonTexasNY Posted April 6, 2023 #90153 Share Posted April 6, 2023 @dani negreanu Dani, I have a heavy heart reading and listening to the latest news from Israel. I can only hope and pray all of Israel stays safe. I especially think of you, DH and your family, as I do Jack's family in Israel to stay out of harm's way. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted April 6, 2023 #90155 Share Posted April 6, 2023 We finally decided what to do with out horrible fenced in back yard for the pups. We tried growing new grass for years without any luck. So we are putting in artificial grass that is made for pets. We did our research and talked with the experts. So starting April 24th the installers will come out and put in the new grass. We are excited as this will be better for the dogs and us as far as tracking in dirt and mud all the time. It's been a nightmare keeping the house clean. I am amazed how real this looks and it's so nice to walk on even with bare feet. I'll post some installation pics in a couple of weeks. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, Bonnie, we're all evening glued to the TV. DS2 told us yesterday at the seder that they'll travel today to a long awaited by the grandsons trip to a camping site at Kibbutz Dafna (near the Lebanon border). We said "enjoy". "take care on the roads", and see you on Saturday... And at 3PM, the biggest amount of rockets since 2006 !!!!! was launched from Lebanon towards the north of Israel. They are safe, for the moment. Sleeping in a tent..... They'll be cutting short their holiday and leave tomorrow instead of Saturday. I'm pondering a sleeping pill to get me through the night............... 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also make special lawn mowers for this type of grass... Very fuel efficient 😁 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You contributed to the well being of the city so sure, it counts! And it's a pretty economical way to get it out of your system too. I remember hearing about the old days when casinos' gave away free food and rooms to lure gamblers since that's where the money was. Now, something like 30% or so of a casino's profit comes from gambling with the rest coming from rooms, food, clubs and shows! I know a few people that go to Vegas regularly for the "experience" and never set foot in the casino. I guess that would include our very own @A&L_Ont 11 minutes ago, Jimbo said: Thought the same thing when they put a casino in Philadelphia............We thought now way! https://www.riverscasino.com/philadelphia/casino The first casino I went to in Pennsylvania was Sands (now Wind Creek) in Bethlehem, PA. Must've been when they first opened as they had a promotion that if you signed up for their rewards program, you got 4 free nights at their sister property, The Venetian in Las Vegas. Somehow we also acquired 4 free nights the MGM Grand (probably from gambling at The Borgota in AC as it is/was part of the MGM family of casinos). So of course, we strung both together, added another night fo $79 and spent 9 nights in Vegas for $79. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, when I'm over on your side of the state, I can look for you. 😄 Yep, I stayed with SALTYRN! I also passed my drug test for the new ER job (big surprise), but the fingerprinting company cancelled my appointment for tomorrow morning. Not sure when they're going to reschedule me... I tried calling, but the customer service rep that took my call (at the number the fingerprinting company gave me to reschedule) couldn't figure out how to make a new appointment. Crazy! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B&H had it with a $600 discount. I did see a $600 benefit in getting the M2 chip. Here's a pic of the description that was on the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted April 6, 2023 #90172 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Walked past T-Mobile Arena, home of the Vegas Knights. Might be headed back later today. Past Cesars’s Palace. Lunch at In and Out Burger. We also stopped at Lisa’s favourite place, Louis Vuitton. Thankfully we escaped unharmed. I loved the displays with the old trunks, and modern ones. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValerieJo Posted April 6, 2023 #90174 Share Posted April 6, 2023 We’ve arrived at our destination for the weekend. It’s our first time out in the RV for this season. A chilly 50° but no too bad if it’s not windy. I’m going to attempt to add picture. You can see by the red ❌ where we are. This is the St. Clair River that runs between Lake Huron and Lake Erie. It’s pretty cool to watch the freighters go by. Plus, we can look right across the river to our friends in Canada. 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
