@Slotdude, we post the good and the bad. All it takes is one good hit on a trip to get you back in the game and then you just hope the luck continues! We also feel limiting visits to the locals and instead going to AC for a few days is much better, because even with a losing trip, the comps of rooms and food take away some of the sting of losing.
Our only trip to Vegas was a losing one but we had plenty of great hits, tons of fun, and can't wait to go back. It isn't just coming home ahead that makes the trip fun!
