The following question was presented:
Well, I'm headed for another week in Vegas after spending a week in Vegas. Probably going to overload from the place, but that's just how the cookie has crumbled this year with my conference being put back. I did the first week without any gambling. In all fairness, I hardly even noticed the slot machines as I didn't really walk through the casino floor. Twice I think, the first time to get from reception to my room and the second time to go to dinner in the hotel. Anyway, this week's question is should I gamble when I'm in Vegas this week?

Analysis:
Well, I'm sat in McCarran airport at the end of my second stint here. Interestingly enough, I voted for yes and fully intended to have a little flutter, but the actual answer was no. Really just down to the fact that I ran out of time. Not really sure where it went - Monday was busy working, Tuesday at the event and then a client dinner that took all night. Ended up getting back to my room at gone 1:00 which isn't that late I suppose, but it's getting there for an old fart like me. I also managed the most amazing pirouette in the walkway at the MGM. I have absolutely no idea how I managed it or how I didn't complete the move with a face plant, but I did hold it and stuck the landing .... so to speak. The problem was I decided to drink wine ... and those who know me realize I don't do this very often and the issue is that if you're somewhere that's taking a long time over the service and you start drinking it like beer, the room can get very blurry very quickly. Wednesday night saw a trip to the Hard Rock Cafe on the strip. Only a few drinks, but the walk killed me. Been a long time since I've walked down the strip with the hustle and bustle of Vegas tourists. Really not missed it if I'm being honest, just seemed to make it more difficult to hobble along. Still ended up being very late before I made it back to my room, so I just didn't end up with the time. I suppose I could have a quick flutter on the airport slots, but that just seems too sad. Think I'll leave it until next time.... whenever that may be.
