Viva Las Vegas!!!

Back in December 1996, we took our 1st vacation in a long line of vacations. I wasn't working at an airline at this time. We were able to get some tickets at a good price. In our party was Oma, Pam, myself, Judy, Jeff & Val. We stayed at the Monte Carlo. Oma loved going to the McDonald's cause she would collect the 101 Dalmatians. The 1st thing we did was to find the best Buffet. We did at Sam's town. Back then the food was pretty cheap in Vegas. Not so much any more!


We saw every casino, took the monorail, walked a whole-------lot! Back then Vegas was trying to be "family friendly!" so, the MGM had a small amusement park. That's when a Elvis impersonate was flirting with Oma.


Of course Oma had to try the BIG slot to win big. It didn't happen. The amusement park was a blast. It was chilly & hardly anyone was there. While we were on the log ride and when we get to the end we would yell out "AGAIN, AGAIN!!" We went again without getting off.




Some couldn't stop playing Wheel of Fortune at the airport. We were stuck there for 4 hours. There was a massive thunderstorm. We even were struck on the way up
