Traveling to a place like Las Vegas is fun, well for about a day. I love to gamble. I think it is a fun, time-consuming event that is really social. However, I cannot spend more than one or two days max in a place like Vegas because no matter frugal you are, and no matter how slow you play a game like roulette, i.e. never betting anything more than the minimum, you still lose about $40 an hour. I simply plan on losing money when I gamble, and consider it more paying for a good time. I always want to keep playing, but it just costs too much money if I stay for more than about a day. I usually try to stop somewhere in Nevada whenever I go to California, but only for a day or two.
