Par-a-Dice! There's a trip down memory lane. It was Where we stayed on our first trip to Vegas in 1968. Little did we know that we would visit Vegas over 200 times in the next 48 years, but that first trip will always hold a special place For us.
In 1968 Hubby and I were college students in Utah. Our friends had a friend who was playing for a minor league hockey team in Vegas (called the Gamblers, I think.) Their friend could get us a three-night FREE hotel room! Of course, the 4 of us would have to stay in one room, but who cared?! We were going to Vegas, baby, to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. And a comped room!
We all saved $ for a month, and each couple scrapped together about $25. No credit cards back then - so that cash paid for gas, food and entertainment. But we had a blast! Free room, ate 99c buffets at Silver Slipper, saw Checkmates LTD with Chelsea Brown at a 1-drink cover, lounge show at Caesars, and all the sights and lights these 8 eyeballs of Oklahoma country bumpkins could absorb.
Good memories.
Adieu, Par-A-Dice.
