Non Gambling Family and Las Vegas

Work is going at a nice manageable rate. Lots to do but I get it done. I can do better and I will.

My mom, my brother and his family and I went to a casino resort this week. We all had a day off from work and wanted to go away from the city. It was a day trip. Weather however turned bad on our way there. We could hardly see the road. Then we spent three quarters of an hour looking for a parking spot. Everyone wanted to park at the covered car park cos the rain and the fog made the uncovered ones unhabitable.
Finally we got our parking space and everyone headed for the restrooms! We had a good lunch (how did I end up paying for that???). Then we went around the shopping areas as well as the kid's entertainment centers. Yup, we are not gamblers so we just go to enjoy the fringe benefits of cheap entertainment that the gambling establishments set up for the families while dads and moms squander away the family's fortunes.
I couldnt help but compare what we had locally with what is available in Las Vegas. Vegas is not just a sin city in my opinion. You make it one if u go there to gamble and do whatever else. I have been there a couple of times with my buddy. We get cheap delicious food, affordable luxurious hotels and some fun with kid's entertainment.
