    Thanks. Between a busy trip, all the emotions, a busy mourning period (shiva) and being back at work on Monday, I feel like I need another break!

    Thanks. I thought about avoiding the topic in the report but felt weird not being upfront about the entirety of the trip.

    We may go back in October to see Buffett (he's a big fan).

    I'm sorry about the loss of your Grandmother. But I did enjoy the TR. You and the BF had a great time, and your gambling luck was great, since you came home a winner. Thanks for posting!

    What a great trip, you had a lot of self control! Also you sure do have a lot of wins, I must be gambling in the wrong place! Everything looked amazing through your eyes. Thank you for the journey, also I love that your boyfriend decorated your room as a surprise and put a candle in a secret pastry. He's a keeper!

    Thanks! Some of that discipline was a result of a determination that it wouldn't be a trip with a lot of time spent gambling. I usually spend more hours a day in Vegas gambling but didn't want to this trip as bf isn't much of a gambler and it was our first vacation together. So in this circumstance the limited time worked out bc I couldn't give it back!

    There were plenty of periods of losing too - when you're betting $3-10 a spin (or higher at times) and not bonusing at all, it can go quickly too!

    I'm so sorry about your grandma. I enjoyed reading your TR, and I agree that your bf seems to be a keeper! How sweet that he decorated the room and gave you time to gamble even though that's not really his thing! You had some great wins. I've never been to the container park; that looks cool and we'll have to check that out on an upcoming trip.

    I think you're on to something; limit sessions and lessen the possibility of putting all the good hits back :)
    I enjoyed reading about your trip and thanks for taking the time. What an awful ending to a trip that was going so well. I am sorry about your Grandma.

    I hope your luck and fun continue on the re-do trip.

    So sorry about your loss. Your trip report is very well done and you had some great wins! I'm extremely jealous of all those handpays! I may need to rub you for luck! Hahahaha! But seriously you did extremely well in my opinion and on a lot of volatile games. That was sweet your boyfriend decorated the room for you and surprised you. I liked the BLT's at Yardbird and love the deviled eggs there,so I'm surprised you didn't like it. Your meal at Sinatras looked good and I've never eaten there before. My daughter is in law school at Pitt this fall she starts. We just moved her to a new apartment in the Burgh. She graduated from Duquesne University so it made sense for her to stay in the city she wants to practice in when she graduates. I mention that as I saw you were in law school and curious where you went. ;) I hope you get to go back soon and finish your trip with your boyfriend and I'll be there end of September into October if our dates match up Id love to do a pull with you as long as you press the buttons! I might actually win if you're playing with me! Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

    Thanks! It was similar to my last trip (in October) where I started off hot and cooled off. I think the Buffett concert is mid-October so our dates may not match up. But if we don't go to that, I have to take vacation by 9/30 so I may come to Vegas and experience G2E and would love to meet up with you and other VF'ers!

    Good luck to your daughter. The first year of law school is tough and overwhelming with the amount of work (in my opinion). I liked second and third years more as I could pick my classes and also could work part time (I enjoyed my job prior to law school and continued to work some during school). I went to Fordham law school in NYC.

    I have enjoyed yardbird too in the past - especially the deviled eggs and the BLT. This time I wasn't feeling the BLT as much and I didn't like my chicken entree. However the brunch entrees I've had, I've really liked.

    Fordham was one of the law schools she got accepted to. But cost of living in NY is higher than Pittsburgh and Pitt gave her full ride. So I'm very glad she chose them ( more money for me in Vegas) and I will be there for G2E if you decide to go we are having a group get together.
