PART I
Tuesday, Sept 11, 2007
We arrived at Buffalo Bill’s around 9pm-ish. Immediately when we parked the radiator hose gave out and leaked it’s innards all over the hot, sticky parking lot. Screw this, I’m checking in. So I check in, and because I made reservations on my card at three of the four hotels we were staying at and each placed a hold charge on them, my debit card said nope you ain’t staying here with me tonight. Actually it let me charge two of the four rooms. I forgot to mention, I was on vacation with my brother Corey, 37, his two sons, Ben, 16, and Dylan, 15, Corey’s fiance Shar, 35, and her three kids, Sheridee, 18, Chris, 14, and J.T., 16, as well as Sheridee’s boyfriend Jeremy, 22-ish??(Jeremy 2 is what I called him all vacation). So I charged two rooms and called my bank(I know Jen I know), They said there were three hold charges and until they lifted I probably couldn’t use my card. Average number of days for a hold to drop: 5.
We ate dinner. I lost $20 in the slots in 2 minutes. I found the gift shop and purchased my first pint of Rum(Bacardi to be specific), which was also close to $20, but it would take me longer than two minutes to lose it. I made a Dr. Pepper and Rum, drank it and went to bed.

Call Dad. Beg for cash. Make large batch of Dr Pepper and Rum for breakfast. Drink Breakfast. You’re a pretty girl.
Watch Corey fix hose all morning and early afternoon. Since Buffalo Bill’s is in Primm 35 miles out of Vegas in the middle of nowhere we drive to Vegas to Tropicana to check in all the while watching the temperature in a tense 30 minute drive. We check in to the Tropicana. My room is the furthest away possible. I think my room was actually in Mesquite.
