Today is Election Day. And what the late results are disappointing for Lisa and I.
Measure 97 is going down with a resounding thud.
And Hillary Clinton appears to be heading to a stunning upset for the office of the White House versus Donald Trump. I will need to sleep on this and hope that tomorrow morning brings different news. This is definitely a shock to the system.
Every day I spend a few minutes perusing some of my favorite travel blogs, and every now and then there is an article or post that gets bookmarked in my favorites folder for future reference. Here is one that can come in really handy when seeking to maximize hotel stays with free nights.

Which hotels give you additional free nights on award stays?
Another late-night Saturday, but the cool thing about going this weekend is that it is daylight savings time. So we were able to gain an hour which might and I used to just walk around the strip. I slept again at 4:30 a.m. and got up this morning by 10 a.m. People left at the front times to go back to Portland and Mike and I were the last to leave Las Vegas. Here are some more random photos from the weekend.

It is always rough the following morning after staying out all night and having a little bit to drink. I went to bed Friday night, actually that would be very early Saturday morning at 4:30 a.m., and woke up at 8:30 a.m. After Ggathering up the rest of the guys we had breakfast and then did some more gambling at a different Casino outside the Strip area. And of course we had to have a very filling buffet dinner…
We stayed and played in downtown Las Vegas before moving on to Bally’s on the Strip. We waited for two more members of our party in the evening before starting out with something to eat and drink and then we can build for the rest of the night.
