re: #136 thedopefishlives

This is my plan as far as gambling in general. Mrs. Fish has never been to Vegas (I have, once, but as a teenager so I couldn’t participate in any activities) and would love to go. I told her the ground rules: We’ll set up a budget. There will be no deviating from that budget; once we’ve lost that money, we’re done, period. It will be treated as spending money for the purposes of accounting. If we come away with some wins, or less losses than the budget allowed, then good for us.

Doubt I’ll go to Las Vegas again for just Las Vegas. The last few times it’s just been a convenient place to get somewhere else like Death Valley or Zion. Actually, quite a bit of scenic stuff not too far from Vegas if that’s your thing. Besides Death Valley and Zion, there’s hiking at Red Rock Canyon, Mt Charleston, Valley of Fire SP, and Snow Canyon SP within two hours and kayaking Black Canyon below Hoover Dam is a way fun diversion from all the noise and neon. Road trip up US93 and catch Valley of Fire and Cathedral Gorge and other state parks up to Great Basin National Park with a side trip on the ET highway or along the NV part of the Loneliest Road in the US (US50).
