Ha...i wish, they put us in a crap hole...i got on my cell, used Hotels.com and got a room at Bally's on the strip overlooking Bellagio for 59 bucks. The woman working at the Box office at Stratosphere was from Indian Head. I showed her my ID and she was like, "Oh I know where this is!"
Small world.

Ballys is nice I have stayed there a few times.... pictures of Marliyn Monroe and other old time stars are on the hallway walls right.
Did you gamble and win? Last time I was there I met David Spade :dance:

A nap was in order then. It would be pretty nice for everyone to have a business trip go bad like yours did.

Good point! We should be a little more concerned about the other passengers on the plane. Hopefully they were able to pull through as well...:lmao:
wait a sec, I just read the repair report for the plane
it seems that the flow valve for the holding tank vibrated loose and flooded the luggage compartment with 2000 lbs of waste.

or a heat sensor went out on the plane.
The interesting part was they put us on the plane, then kicked everyone off, let people going to some other place on and gave us their broken plane....people that were trying to get home were super ticked...

i've had friends go through up to 20 g's in a weekend there so I think my loss was pretty minimal.
Besides I count what I won in that mix as well as what I spent....I only lost about 190 of my own money, but would hit for 100 here 200 there only to drain it before hitting again...
It's there for entertainment, people that go looking to get rich are gonna be disappointed.
