Hiya,

I have just return from Vegas vacation of 14 nights, staying at the Bellagio..hubby and I had a total win of $8,500 on the slots.

Sadly my husband gave all his back to the casino, I spent all mine at Tiffany's. YUMYUM

Congrats! That is awesome! It would be very hard for me to give that amt back to either place!!

What slots do you play? I never win that much. I am happy with a couple hundred, course I don't bet that much either.

Default Slot Win

Hiya,

The first win was at Paris, they have the Blazing 7's $2,000

Then the Bellagio $5 slot called the Butterfly, triple sevens paid out $2,400

Blazing and Flaming sevens at the Bellagio $1,000 x 2 = $2,000

$5 slots at the Bellagio again for the other win(not sure what tha was called next to the butterfly machine $2,000

$700 in Paris Blazing 7's

That was our win

I was sitting next to a guy from canada who won $6,500 on the Blazing Sevens at the Paris

I have to sat though we did manage to spend $18,000 on gaming durng our stay

Wow! That would explain why I don't get those big wins. Not that I couldn't afford to play the $5 machines, but I can't afford to lose that! Those would be awesome wins for me.

I could not spend that much on gaming though. I would croak!! (did that include your stay and food and stuff?)

Glad you had fun!! And got a place there too?!!! Sounds like a great trip!

Ohhhh, that's how it works. I have to learn that, I am still a Michigander who counts every dime-in or out!!

Consider yourself one in a million. So few ever walk away with more then they started with.

Reminds me of a line Lance Burton uses in his show when he comes on stage. He asks the audience: Raise your hands....who won money in Vegas? Less then a dozen hands go up out of the entire audience. Then he asks how many lost money and the entire audience raises their hands.

Then Lance Burton says: Thanks for helping to build Las Vegas for us.

Yeah, I figure since we have donated many times, we may as well move there and enjoy the fruits of our donations!! (which are apparently nothing compared to many others)

Default Winner

Hiya,

Vegas was built on looser's, not winner's

My spend was on gambling alone, this was the amount that we had for gambling, we had other money for food and our accomadation at the Bellagio was booked and paid before our arrival.

One evening we played roulette at the Bellagio, a lady next to me placed as many chips as she could stack on number 22, It came up 5 times, one after the other. she walked away with $10,000 in $1,000 dollar chips (those yellow ones) and she put a load back on the tables in between her wins, it was amazing and the crowd gathered.
