I was there twice, but I don't gamble..... 2nd time it was 60F......
1st time was a layover on the way to California
2nd time was a vacation and Vegas was simply were our Hotel was.... traveled from there
I was in Vegas for a conference. I have the honor of being the last chicken plucked at a cheap poker table. The pros appeared to drink a lot but didn't. They appeared to bet wildly but didn't outside of small bets to catch the unwary. They did know the cards much much better than me but was worth about $100 for hours of entertainment. But once was enough.

Before Las Vegas, there was the Ponderosa.

This is why I don't gamble... I didn't even play a slot machine when I was there

Sam and I tried to gamble at the local casino years ago.

We each had 20 bucks. He lost his quickly at a blackjack table, and got mad, because he said everyone cheated, they tweaked the rules, etc. I tried a couple slots, but putting money into a machine for nothing seemed... icky. I took my money to the casino bar instead. I had a much better time than Sam.

When I was there it was cheaper to sit by a slot machine and get a free drink with just a tip to the waiter/waitress. The cheapest slots were just the thing.

My trip to Vegas was for 3 months and most of it was spent looking after 4 and 6 year old grand daughters because their parents were in Afghanistan. About the only going out type thing we did was to see Penn and Teller.

About Vegas, the Star Trek experience was OK but there were some bit missing such as bat'leth training and target practice with phasers. Also missing was a taste of Romulan ale and blood wine. Those should be added to draw me back.

Hottest day of the year so far, 29c (84.2f) i can live with this winner

That's the predicted high temperature for here. It's supposed to get up in to the 90s this week. This time of year is rather pleasant, as it doesn't generally get too hot until late May or June (although there have been exceptions). But at least it's not as bad as Death Valley.

By Tuesday it's supposed to get back to winter, a 10c degree drop on today is the outlook.
