Damnit, I didn't win crap when I went to Vegas, now I MUST go back to get even. Me and my friend were that drunk couple at 8 AM one day though lol pretty much kept a good buzz the entire trip except we sobered up before we went to our friends wedding. We never stepped foot outside our hotel property. Took us 2 days just to walk outside the building lol

Tony, telling your wife you have money is like waving a needle in front of a heroin addict, they just gotta have it !

Your wife is a VERY smart woman because She knew you were going to spend it all right then and there. I do that to my father when we go to the casino here in Tampa however they are NOTHING like the Vagas one LOL.
Congrats on your winning streak glad you had a good time however!

Now, aren't you glad to have that $1,000? Wife is very smart.

And, I could never watch Jesus get the shit knocked out of him.. Maybe the other guy died for punching Jesus, but I'm sure you probably mentioned that in your unpublished post.

Congratulations on your big winnings, and on your very wise selection of a very wise spouse!

Sorry to hear about the boxing tragedy. You know, it's really best if we don't punch each other and pretend that's an athletic endeavor, I think.

You are not only funny but you also have a good heart!

PS: $1,127.00 Humm ... Do IRS agents read blogs?

Can't really understand the whole "Vegas/Casino Fever" thing. I just can't. It's like people enjoying when they're at work or englishmen driving from the right seat of the car, just can't even grasp the whole concept of fun about it.

In fact, I think I would feel quite disappointed if I get to Vegas and there's no chance of meeting Grissom, in the very same way I would if I get to Baywatch (wherever it is)and there's no Mitch Buchanan around. I would miss the point.

Anyway, if you made money out of it, I guess it makes sense.

Hey Tony, funny and compassionate with a smart wife? you rock!

Hey if I were your wife I'd do the same thing! Good for her! I don't gamble because my luck is terrible. I can't even win points in the lucky three on BA. I've only won it one time. And that was beginner's luck.

How much did you spend before you won? No matter what, you had a good time though... casinos are addictive... even if its just an online, free one. I'm afraid i will be a major gambler when i grow up... i used to want it to be my hobby...

Glad you had an excellent time, Mr. Calabrese.

I'm so envious. I've never left a casino with more money than I walked in with. You've got a serious streak going.

A Wheel of Fortune slot is my drug of choice. One of them, anyway. Hit the 1000 once but it was only quarters. Still, that's $250, right? I also get a Monopoly slot jones sometimes. In fact, this whole post makes me want to get to Vegas right now *squeak* *RRRRrrrrr...* (sound of garage door opening and car heading to the Interstate). Think I should watch "Intervention" tonight? (Funny blog, shrinking wop!)
