Like that Wheel of Fortune Machine

Yet, another evening visiting the strip. This time we visited the Rio, the Venetian and Frontier casinos. We drove out to the Rio (it is on Flamingo Road a couple of minutes by car west of the strip) as they advertised a free show that sounded interesting “Masquerade: Show in the Sky”. When we arrived we found a sign that indicated that show was not on from November 14th to November 24th .... oh well. We put a couple of bucks into the machines and headed for the Venetian. The area behind the Venetian is a little confusing (we went in circles) but Colin did manage to direct Ed to the Venetian parking garage (Ok there was a little help from the backseat). The section with shops and restaurants is done up to look like Venice complete with a canal, gondolas and singing gondoliers that will take you for a ride. Margaret liked the casino there as she put $2 into a machine and on her first try got $20.

Colin and I really liked The Frontier. After finding $2 margaritas (there were twice as big as the ones we had the previous night) we each put a couple of dollars into wheel of fortune slot machines and both had the wheel of fortune symbols come up. Colin won $16 and I won $25!

It's interesting, call girls can't put up bill boards, but they can have trucks driving up and down the strip with their phone number on the side, as well as people handing out the girls card's on the street.
