Vegas/Laughlin trip report

Jet Blue from Boston for about $320 each (including taxes).
Car(Hyundai Sante Fe SUV) from Alamo @$220 with taxes thru COSTCO.
3 days at Aquarius in Laughlin. $1 10/7 DB progressive that was at $4,900 when we had to leave. Left down ~$2K after $50K action.

3 days at Green Valley. $1 10/6 DDB and FP Jacks. Gave them $50K and was surprised to get almost $400 in cashback. That reduced our green valley loss to ~2K.

Always unpleasant to lose at 4% rate on 99.5% thru 100.5% machines but what a difference from the crap here on east coast.

While in Laughlin, we spent some time looking at houses. The housing market is a disaster (as in vegas) with homes running $70-90/foot. Saw one in an active 55+ community in bullhead city az. which my wife liked. Across from the colorado river and a 10 minute drive to Laughlin casinos.
About 90 miles to Henderson/Vegas. The speed limit 90% of the way is 75 mph and most people pass you unless your going 80.
