07/30/2003: "Dixie Chicks and Winnings"

Oh I totally forgot to blog about the Dixie Chick concert and my $157 net winnings from Vegas :)

We got excellent front row (3rd row from the stage) seats to the Dixie Chicks concert maybe less than 10 feet from the stage. I didn't know any of the songs, but Wendy really enjoyed herself :)

As for my winnings, I think my training with that Beach Volleyball game really helped. Trying to get all the accessories for the girl characters in that game, really fine tuned my gambling skills.

I think the fact that I didn't play too much helped also. I tried to leave the tables whenever I was up $100, so I actually didn't lose anything in blackjack. Most of my losses were on slot machines and video poker.

Towards the end of the trip, Wendy and I started playing penny and nickel slots and lost 5 bucks doing that. I think those coin-fed machines have the worst odds in Vegas. Anyways, I ended up gambling for maybe 3 hours total, but came away from Vegas a winner :) :)
