The boy has had a tough year for sure but they headed out about 30 minutes ago to head for OK so I hope everything goes well and he has some good luck. @cecicastor suggested that he has Pattie rub that 'roo sac on his head for luck so I told him and he agreed; we'll see if that works for him.
I always have like Reno more than Vegas, but it has been several years since I've been to either and spent any time. I've flown thru the Vegas airport a couple times in the last 5 years and played the slots in the terminal between flights. The older I get the less I like crowed places.
I look forward to reading all about your trip.
