Back from Vegas

Our trip went well. The walk-thru revealed some cosmetic blemishes (which is expected) but nothing major. The exterior color scheme is still not what we were told it would be but is acceptable and no longer baby crap yellow. I am very pleased with all the upgrades and colors we ordered. It all came together very nicely. We got confirmation that our mortgage was approved so, once I do the second walk-thru on the 18th and sign off on it, we only have to wait a few days for move in. Pending unforseen, catastrophic circumstances, we will move in on the 23rd.
My meeting with the Xerox dude went very well. I was running late so we met up at the sports book in the Wynn. He put most of my fears to rest and gave everything but a guarantee of a position. One opening I could possibly fill is an IT position with the county. It's so close to my house that I wouldn't even have to get on the freeway. I should get more conclusive info by the end of next week.
The Monte Carlo was very nice. The rooms are nicely appointed and the table limits very reasonable (mid-week anyway). I like the spacious feel of the casino. Now it just needs a Fat Tuesday.
Our gambling was pretty rocky right up until the end. We were down by $500 before dinner last night but Niki won back $500 on a quarter machine at Hooters. Of course she had to give $50 back before we left. Walking away down $50 for the trip might as well be even.
