Thanks for the details- you do an impressive job providing an in depth report. I try to keep notes but usually find myself unsuccessfully trying to decipher cryptic ramblings I've written on beer sodden cocktail napkins in the morning.
I am sorry to hear about the losses although we have all had similar hits.
As I recall, you usually head back in the summer so you can get it back- and more.
stungazed - Thanks for the report. always an entertaining read. Sorry about the beatdown you had this trip. You put a lot of coin thru for staying so many days in Vegas/Laughlin. I'am amazed by the amount details you recall for the length of your trips. Do you keep a daily journal? Maybe the difference in your offers and your wife's offers at Rampart is she has more slot play on her card?
