Planes arriving from the East are bringing the hungry and eager,  dreamers to town to begin a week of frolic in the . . .  cold Vegas air!!!     

Not another cold year!

Yep, sure looks like another year with all of the crew following the two early birds to the piggy troughs each morning. This could require new logistical plans...

Welcome to Bally's... check in and leave your wallet at the desk please!

Butch and Sandy -- all smiles.  Wonder why? We all know that the smiles will be wiped away by the end of the week - just like the rest of us gamblers.  Well, not really, those smiles will still be there because they are with good friends who will remind them about all the $$$'s sitting in Vegas that used to be theirs.  Sounds like fun to me!

What can they be thinking?

Jake...with visions of lots of green sticking out of those Midwestern pockets...

Barb...I wonder how lucky I will be this year?

Joyce...I've got $5.00 per casino for the slots and $$$ for the shops. yippee!!

The rest of these pictures are dedicated to what we actually looked like before we started eating.

"Boy, she is sure falling down on her duties, this could cost her big in the tip department you know!"

Oh, I know, lets give it to the birthday boy...I'll bet he can finish up!
