Going to Vegas, who's with me?



Recommended Posts

Rob and I have been wanting to go to vegas for a bit. We go twice a year. So we decided with things pretty flush now is the time to go lose all our money. LOL We are flexible on the plans, and wanted to know if some bandsters wanted to go and meet up with us there. PM me the dates that are good for you, and we'll do the town. Penny slots and free drinks!! Anyone in the vegas area want to meet up, or anyone wanting a trip to get away from it all?

You are going exactly where Lisa lives. She would probably just love to show you all the hot spots in Vegas :)

I'm feeling pretty flush myself right now, but didn't know money was an issue on this board. I had two horses win stake races yesterday...now that is money in the bank for sure. :confused: Maybe we have different concepts of flush....for me going to Vegas isn't Vegas unless I take along about $10,000 for fun, but then again I hate the slots and 21, so you would find me at Bally's playing the ponies which is what I do the best.....

Try the Big Kitchen at Bally's for some fantastic food...some of the best in Vegas.

I said I don't go to Vegas without $10,000 at the very least because I handicap horses (that is a job). Tell me when you are going and I will try and give you some locks if you play the ponies. Need to know what track you are going to play and on what day. I supply the handicapping sheets to a lot of the major tracks and do pretty well. I didn't make $10,000 on my two horses yesterday, not with trainer fees, boarding fees, and jock fees. A lot of people don't understand how many ways that money is divided up, but yes I own and handicap horses, although I don't always play anything I don't think is a lock...but it's horseracing so who can really tell...horse may get bumped, hit the gate, throw the rider, break down...you only hope for the best.

You also don't have to leave home to bet the ponies. You can go to YouBet.com or TVG if it is allowed in your home state and bet right on line....legal...yes. It is www.youbet.com or www.tvg.com . Good luck.

Good luck in Vegas.

yes vegaswildflower, I will be there, with bells on sweetness!! So you have to meet up with us!! Those who have pm'd me, I am trying to figure a ate that works for most of us. I hope I can figure a time for everyone!! Anyone still interested please PM me! the more the merrier!

I for one would love to know where you go with kids. I know Vegas is not really the place for children but I want to go and my 2 will come with me. I am looking for inexpensive / entertaining and of course to meet some of my Vegas Pal Gals.

Took my kids in 97 and that when I found out Vegas isn't just for adults. Lots to do there and I din't even miss gambling.

Just got back a few months ago from an extended stay there and I'm ready to go again.

Jack , what did you see and do in vegas?

did you go snow sking at mt charleston, or rock climbing at red rock.. maybe you went out to the lake and took s cruise.. did you see any of the highly rated shows, or maybe enjoy the several rollar coaster and thrill rides around town?

ALOT has changed since 1980, in 25 years ..You should give it another try..

Thanks for the insight.. and I think your right, with such a low level of versatility you wouldn’t like it. best you stay in and just watch it on TV.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
