After a wonderful sushi dinner, I decided to put three dollars in a slot machine and guess what...won $120! I promptly cashed in and headed out the door, a big smile on my face.

We toured the dam many years ago, but plan on visiting it again.

I never associated Las Vegas with anything military. <br />I went to Las Vegas for my oldest nephew's wedding and had a great time visiting the different themed hotels. I don't really care about gambling. I spent $10 and called it quits. There was so many other things to do. I even went to see Hoover Dam. But you certainly enlightened me about the real history. So Howard Hughes didn't build the town all be himself after all. LOL<br />Great blog, Cheri. Sarah J.

Some of us know some of this, just from general interest over time.<br />Me? We lived in Las Vegas, New Mexico, and half the time, our mail went to Nevada. When we finally got it-whatever it was, I'd always say "my mail gets to go to LV and I don't! Not fair! I love to gamble but don't get to go anymore...too hard to travel and my husband doesn't gamble.<br />I love the photos. We went to the dam--Jim and a friend went on the tour while I and my friend Carolyn are ice cream cones and then took naps in the car until they returned. Ahhh, those were the days. Now, though, I wish I had toured the dam.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-52433955306019410432017-09-04T15:25:54.694-05:002017-09-04T15:25:54.694-05:00Cheri, so glad you worked out your posting problem...Cheri, so glad you worked out your posting problem. I have no idea how that happened. I'm NOT a technically savvy person! I enjoyed learning more about Las Vegas. I haven't been there in years. Gambling is not for me.Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.com
