- Mike had done some free dental work for a friend's relatives who lived in Las Vegas, and they set us up with a free room and free rental car. The car was a Cadillac, and we had a blast with it.
- We saw the show at Excalibur (the first Vegas show Mike and Mary Whelan had ever been to), and I thought it was terrific.
- Mary Whelan really took to craps. At the beginning of the trip, she would just stand behind Mike and me and say, "Um, could you put this chip on the pass line for me?" and by the end of the trip she was shooting the dice herself and saying, "Gimme a C&E and hard 8."
- We played craps more than anything else this trip, and we got in on some very good rolls. Strangely enough, however, I was the only one who got in on the best roll. Mike and I were both down for the trip on Sunday, so we decided to go to the Fremont to try to recoup. We both quickly lost $100.00 on the crap table, so Mike walked away to play blackjack. I was the only player left on the table. I got the dice and proceeded to win back the lost $100.00 plus an additional $329.00. It was one of the most exciting craps hands I've ever had -- not just because I won, but because the pace was so quick. Being the only player on the table, I didn't have to wait long between rolls.
- Mary Thrasher was miserable most of the trip. She never did tell us why she was in such a bad mood, but her attitude came close to ruining the trip for the rest of us.
