just returned from Vegas and won $$$$$
Save

We had a great six days at The Mirage but couldn't win a dime there. (Love The Mirage..the pool was great and so was the immpeciable service.) However, during one three hour period at NYNY, I won over $3400 on the slots (and walked away with it). I hit 2 $1,000 jackpots on two different spin and win machines. Hit two different $300 plus jackpots on Men In Black nickle machines and hit a $850 jackpot on a five dollar Top Dollar machine, plus various little jackpots. It was an incredible afternoon! (I just remembered that I won over $200 on a penny machine.)

So basically, the entire trip, including our hotels, lots of gambling, transportation to and from Vegas, and car rentals, cost us only $500. Not bad!!!!

Wow that's great!! Sounds like you had a big horseshoe up...well you know what I mean. So, since you didn't spend a lot on your trip, I think you should start planning another...

Had a similar experience about 2 weeks ago when we were out there. I was at Flamingo and put $10 in a nickle machine and walked away with $60. Later that day I took the ticket and tried to put it in a quarter machine which wouldn't take it...got mad and just stuck it in the next machine and won the jackpot of $400. Took $100 of that and went to Harrah's later and put it on rapid roulette....I ended up walking away with almost $3000 from that. Combine that with what my husband won, and our trip was completely free plus we have enough to come back next month. Harrah's keeps comping my room every month which is a great savings....basically I only have to pay for airfare and my entertainment.

Congrats !!!!!! I am going the end of March and I hope I am as lucky. Sure does make a difference but when I win it's usually at the hotel I'm staying at.

I don't get it. You won $3400 and your vacation still cost you $500. Am I missing something?

ScariedCat,

You must have won all the money I dumped into the NYNY slots the week before! It's actually nice to hear that people actually win in the more expensive hotels.

Nice Job!

Wow! That is quite a win. On my birthday a couple years ago (when I was very young) ;) we won enough to do the helicopter trip to the canyon without ruining our budget and we thought that was good! Hope I find a Top Dollar as that is the machine I won on.

Teko,

You think staying 6 days in Vegas and spending $3,900 is too much?
