Someday, I think I would like to......

- Rent an apartment or Condo and come live in Vegas for a year.

That would have to be after I retire a number of years down the road. Or would there be any way to do it cost-effectively for just several months ? I guess there would be furnished apartments that you could get for that sort of time-frame. It would have to be someplace relatively nice though, no sense in coming out and not enjoying it because you are staying in a dump.

I have a similar plan. But only during football season. Probably something like Sept 1st - early January.

Unless I change my mind, I'm doing it in 2018.

Would have to strip them, if you insist on identical twins. Pays to specify sometimes.

I'd like to live in Vegas in the winter even though
I know I'd hate it. I like all the casinos in one spot,
though. The worst part of going to local casinos
is getting there.

casino wise I've always wanted to hit their Triple Diamond progressive or any other slot stepper JP. Rarely play them and probably won't be so lucky.

I don't get that fascination with twins. 2 different girls is much better. Blonde and brunette

It gets old real quick. Not to long ago, when I was in my late 20's cruising the strip in sports cars, staying in suites, hitting the clubs, partying and gambling was not as fun as I thought it would be.

I had more fun in local clubs then on the strip. The most fun I have ever had was when I was 16 and 17, I lived very close to a hippie commune in Washington state called Rainbow Valley. It was like a small Woodstock.

I agree Ax. Doing twins is the same as just banging the same chick twice.

Y'all need to quit confusing the two Ace-related screen names! FWIW I signed up first but ace has out-posted me since. Since people like to abbreviate, how about

'ace' = short for 'aceofspades'
'Aces' = short for 'AcesAndEights'

I'm recently engaged; aceofspades is (as far as I know) still happily single.

Axel, you have to tell me where Rainbow Valley is.

Washington state. between Rochester and little Rock. Not to far from the Lucky Eagel casino. It sits on the Black River. Not to far from Olympia, WA. It's like 50 acres of land. I know its still there, but im not sure if squatters still inhabit it or what the culture is like now. The FBI has raided it a few times and busted the supposed land owner/Gideon . A few agency's tried to shut it down for years.

I'm not a hippie type, however they didn't care who came to party and just about everyone did on some weekends. Including my older glamour girl sister and Dad occasionally. I caught my high school shop teacher messing around with young hippie chick. I passed that class with an A and skipped it most of the time. They would have Rock Bands playing all night, Fire works, drugs(I said no) and plenty of alcohol (I said yes) Naked chicks (I said yes)

I googled it. As much time as I spent in Washington and I had never heard of Rainbow Valley.

move to Colorado-Have plans to leave Chicago in April to look for a job in southern Colorado.

by a house-This is part of the above plan. Can't by a house without a job. Good the high credit score already. Look into HUD 203k program...

Vegas in baseball season for a few weeks. Did the football season in 2008 for several weeks. 1st 10-12 days was great, then I lost and moved up to Reno for a couple weeks.

Have enough money to see gambling as pointless

Sell my house in Chicago
