How would you handle this gambling trip?

Great trip, sorry the cards lost.

We were rooting for the Cubs, so it was all good!

Wow blase cannot believe you saw a bunch of Cubs! Very cool. I've seen David Wright of my Mets in Vegas and got giddy.

And congrats on the winning trip and getting charges taken off at the end!

It was neat. The team was staying at our hotel, which we knew ahead of time, so we knew there'd be a good chance we'd see a few players. I never saw anyone in the lobby but Karie and Nick did. In fact every time we saw Nick he was telling us how he saw so and so. Here's his pic with Rizzo and "Grandpaw," the catcher Ross.



And I guess Karie saw Joe Maddon in the lobby reading a newspaper, and she said she was in the elevator with a bunch of players but they were all speaking Spanish. We were pretty sure there were some Cubs wives at the pool with us on Monday too. One really pretty woman kept taking selfies of herself.

The one player Karie really wanted to see was Kris Bryant, but he eluded us.

Sounds like a fun trip. Blasé, you look so happy (and beautiful) -- I don't think I've ever seen a bad picture of you, now that I think about it. The goodness shines through, even if you're losing.

Also, I really loved the machine selection there. They had lots of old Aristos, even some that I'd never seen before. The layout of the casino was really nice and airy too. I wouldn't make a trip down there just for gambling, but would definitely go back next summer to see a game.

Sounds like you had a good time and while if they had old Aristocrat you have never seen that is pretty crazy but it's some of the titles that you've never seen before?

Ah, gotcha. I don't think I ever knew that! Are the Cards still in wild card contention?

Yeah, there was one with fairies and butterflies that I've never seen, and a witch themed one. Wish I took pics!!

I had to ask the true fan. Yes tied for 2nd place wild card spot

I enjoyed sitting close to Harry Carey at Cubs spring training games here in Mesa. The cardinals train at ft Lauderdale Florida. Harry was all you would expect him to be and a huge flirt.

Thanks for filling us in. Sounds like a great place. Man.. I would have been so stoked to see any of "my boys" out and about in the Casino. I plan on meeting Brian Dozier someday.. working on making that happen.
