Brian set up a trip to Las Vegas for 13 of us.  We stayed at the Flamingo Hotel, right on the strip. We had a great time gambling, checking out the casinos, and going to the night clubs.   This was my first trip to Vegas.  Some of the casinos were amazing.  I couldn't believe how elaborate they were!  It was a great trip - I didn't lose too much money, only slept a total of 8 hours (for the entire weekend), and ended up winning $100 on a slot machine - not bad for a first trip, eh?!
