Yes, friends, my Vegas fever is officially back.
You'd think two trips in one year (within two months of each other, no less) would have quenched my thirst for sin and slots...at least until winter, right? After my last trip I went so far as to swear off Vegas until 2010. Not because I don't love it, just because it seemed like the responsible thing to do...
Screw responsibility. I'm (at least mostly) responsible in all the other parts of life...let me have my Vegas obsession.
The Food Network is to blame. I was doing fine until they brought the contestants on The Next Food Network Star to Sin City. As soon as I saw the Planet Hollywood casino floor, my obsession (which had been sleeping peacefully since May) was awoken.
Next thing I knew I was visiting the travel sites, checking airfare rates and generally daydreaming about living a life in which I could jet off to Vegas at a moment's notice. Incidentally, the last week of August appears to be an especially cheap time to visit Vegas.

But there is hope. As proof that the universe wants me to be happy, it turns out my husband is scheduled to be in Vegas for work in October! If I tag along, that's only one airfare to worry about -- plus the requisite food and gambling budget, of course. That means I've only got 2+ months to go...I think I'll make it.

Ha! My oldest son was conceived in Vegas and we haven't been back since.
My husband has already told me we're going back when we turn 40 (year 2010). For his 40th birthday, he's entering the world series of poker. Doesn't that sound fun? I can hardly wait.
That sounds awesome! And congrats on your willpower...I can hardly wait two months to go.
stuck at the vegas airport flying home from CA.
Thinking of you ...
Awwww,,,
