Let loose in Las Vegas

Against my better judgement I let Mum and Sheila visit Las Vegas for a few days (as if that city doesn't have enough sinners already!)  I'm happy to say that they returned safe and sound, the only slight mishap being when they tried to check in at the wrong hotel.  They stuck to the slots and even came away slightly up, some of which was won at the airport as they waited for their flight home.  Addicted already?


Vegas still looks like Vegas, with the Travelodge where they stayed in the foreground.


Sheila tries to decide which casino's bank to break first.


Their nearest eatery.


Mum feeds her first $50 into the machine.



Sheila admires a Henry Moore sculpture (he's British).


The current display at the Belagio.


They couldn't remember which casino this was in.



A quick break to add up winnings.


I think I knew him...


The Statue of Liberty, made of Jelly Belly beans!  I can't believe I missed this on our last trip.


So many shops to choose from.


Look, it's a self-snowing Christmas tree!  I need one for this year.


A final spin of the wheels.


Big money.
