Hit a royal flush with 5 bet on Bonus Poker for 4000 quarters.

Also got to drive a 625 hp stock car 8 laps around Vegas Motor Speedway at The Richard Petty Driving Experience. It was cool but they have another car leading you keeping you from breaking 132mph an 46 second laps. Dude had to wave me back 7 or 8 times because I was pushing him too hard (They get in trouble if they let you run to fast during the "rookie experience")

Vegas Rocks!

Sounds like a lot of fun, how much does that cost?

$380

It's something I wouldn't normally do but Vegas paid for it and you only live once. The instructor told me I should sign up for they're advanced courses (150+mph/passing/traffic) but they are like $2,000-$2,800

The funny thing is that those cars handle like poo at 130. You actually had to turn right to stay in "the groove" I think the one at Bristol would be tha shiznit because it's a much smaller tighter track.

That's what you call stagger, my friend. Bristol would be even worse, they have to run more stagger there because of the tight turns.

Bristol has alot more banking though ;)
I know what stagger is, I was just saying if you were alowed to run 130mph around Bristol it would drift you up to the wall alot better than putt-putting at an avarage speed of 116mph around a 1.5 mile track designed for exiting the corner at 170mph.

Glad to hear you had a fun time! I have yet to win any money in Vegas but then again I don't gamble a whole lot while I am out there.
