Winner winner chicken dinner

(Carys) Hey! Woke up this morning and went to breakfast. We ate at a fast food sort of restaurant, quite like McDonalds but 10 time worse. This may sound really rude of me but the egg was greasy, the pancake chewy and the scone dry. The only thing I did like was the milk.

We didn't have the Krispy Kreme doghnuts, which I moaned about for around 10 minutes. Dad went back to casino and the three of us, me, mum and Bryn went to the pool, again! 

Came back and mum and I went to this souvenir shop beneath MGM Grand,  and I bought three things: a cup with a curly straw, a magnet and a  pretty keyring. Mum also bought me a cool Las Vegas tishirt, that I am going to wear for the flight home tomorrow.

Speaking of, I can't beleive it's practically over! I have had so much fun on this holiday, and writing this blog...........maybe I should save this big speech for the very last blog.......

Anyway, mum and I went back to the hotel and met Bryn and dad in 'The Fun Dungeon,' which is the kids arcadet here. 

I played some games there for a bit then dad went off to the gym. Me, mum and Bryn went to the Krispy Kreme shop and Bryn and I had a donought! This was some sort of subsitute for a lunch. I had the chocolate kreme one, and it was DELICOUS! 

Then me and Bryn met dad back at the pool and mum went to the gym. We messed around in the pool for a bit, and later, when mum came back, dad came on the slide! He looked really funny coming down it.

Sunbathed and swam for a while then came and had a shower, got dressed up slightly and came to this this lovely posh buffet in the Mandalay Bay hotel. It had all this lovely food, though I didn't try many new things. The dessert was delicous too! 

(Lloyd) title of blog more blackjack related see bringing down the house https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bringing_Down_the_House_(book) ( Great read) but will apply to poker today. Small post breakfast tournament in the excalibur. Played conservatively, got a break with trip 10s and ended up heads up with the best and most aggressive player in the tourney. Pretty much 50/50 then but he got a deserved break q7 v my q10 and hit his 7 ... Still 130 bucks not to be sniffed at in my small time poker world.

Breakfast today not the best. Went all american and felt like airline food. Good practice for tomorrow i guess. Still seemed to be sitting heavy on my gut as i went and did a slow treadmill parkrun inthe gym.  Hope to speed up in the real thing this weekend. Yes thoughts turning to home and real life as i sit in the unreality of the vegas sun and excalibur pool. Kids on the slides and chrissi in the gym. Might be time for a beer. This has strangely been one more of the healthier holidays i have had. Eating and drinking taken second place to actually doing stuff. This is a precedent that might influence future holiday plans.  And probably should for general life...
