This is a little trip that my brother, Jody and his wife Becky, my sister Cindi, Tony and I took a couple of weeks ago to Laughlin Nevada. The trip was a birthday gift to Cindi from Tony and I and was planned for Las Vegas, but Jody and Becky had a "special deal" to Laughlin and so we decided to go with them, and are we glad we did. What a blast we had! Tony, Cindi and I had never been there before and were very pleased with everything. It's such a no hassle place. Easy access and fun casinos. We stayed at Harrahs, a very nice hotel/casino.
Here we are at the airport bar on day 1 ....Cindi is not the best flyer, so she opted for a little liquid courage.......and the rest of us kinda followed.
.........and this is Cindi when we took off......we really kidded her about being afraid, but as you can see, she took in all in fun. Amazing what a little booze can do.
During the flight, I glanced out the window and saw this forest fire......I only got a shot of last part, it was much bigger.
Well, like I said, we all had a blast.....especially Cindi. This is her first Jackpot pay off. What a time she had.
Here Jody is with his first Jackpot payoff.......the machines were really loose.....to some.......unless your name is Mark.....ha!
Cindi has pay off number 2...
........and number 3! The girl had beginners luck like crazy! SO MUCH FUN!
And thank goodness Tony got in on the action.........we had alot more fun after this.......ha!
Afterwards, we all had a wonderful dinner at this great place in the hotel.....the food was as good as it was beautiful. And, after all, we did have to celebrate a little.
Here we are on the river....Laughlin is on the Colorado River and they use water taxi's to shuttle people from casino to casino and it was really fun.....although I think Jody would have rather been fishing.
One of the Hotel/Casinos on the river....it looks like a giant riverboat.
We were all really amazed at how clear the water is on the river.......look under the ducks and you can see fish......big fish.
The riverfront is really quite beautiful.....here we are on one the decks of the hotel.
Well, when all was said and done, Cindi was the big winner of the group and far as money goes......but I think we all won! We had such a good time.
When it was time to leave, we were all sad.......we packed alot of fun in those 3 days we spent in Laughlin. It was so great just being with family. Tony and I had a blast. Thanks Jody, Becky and Cindi for such a great weekend. Can't wait to go back with you guys.
