Over the years one of my favorite destinations has always been Las Vegas. There is just so much to do day or night even if you don't gamble. There are so many shows and attractions everywhere you look. I remember when I was younger staying in Vegas was not all that expensive, but times sure have changed. You can get into some of the less expensive places for around $100 US a night, but the high end places start at $400+ US a night. Getting way too rich for my blood!
On one trip I stayed at The Venetian Hotel which is one of the higher end places on the strip. I travelled with some friends and got we an incredible deal. It truly is an amazing place, spacious and luxurious rooms and very comfortable. The only problem is you don't want to eat there if you can avoid it because the restaurants were way overpriced! Even the casino was expensive, the minimum bet to play blackjack was $25. So great place to stay if you are stinking rich!
I picked up a souvenir token while I was there, but not in one of the gift shops (expensive.) I got it at a pawn shop off of the strip and the prices there were much more reasonable! It caught my eye because it was a millennium edition and also had the Doge's Palace on the reverse. The Doge's Palace is a beautiful building in Venice, Italy for those not familiar with it. I love to collect these silver tokens because they are most importantly silver. Plus some gain high premiums over time especially if they were very limited runs. Some of these tokens from the 1950's or 60's are pretty expensive. Take a look!

About the token:
Edition: Millennium Edition
Silver: 99.9% fine silver
Casino: The Venetian, Las Vegas, Nevada, US
Weight: About 0.6 troy ounces
These are just so much fun to collect! Once you get hooked you start buying more and more... Most casino's produce their own varieties so there's almost no way you could ever collect them all. So next time you are in Las Vegas make sure to pick up a few of these to keep as souvenirs.
The #silvergoldstackers have an upcoming raffle open to everyone for the chance to win some very cool silver prizes. I believe there is more than 44 ounces of silver prizes already in the pot! Make sure to follow @buggedout to keep up with the details!

The Doge's Palace is a nice Casino, but has a bit of a different meaning to me these days.

Oh my, for some reason I had this feeling that this might be the case but I was hoping you were just enjoying some offline time instead.
What happened? Did the infection get worse or something else popped up as well?
Take care, glad to see you back!
A blood clot in my leg that required a couple days of blood thinners. Thanks, it's good to be back!
Ouch that sounds scary .. Are you ok now?

Surviving, just been in a lot of pain in my upper back. They scanned for embolisms and heart attack but couldn't find the source. That's life I suppose...

Omg that must have been scary before they checked it. Are you ok in terms of they couldn't find anything or still worried? I never like it when I have something like my arm hurting or stabs in the chest that can be related to a heart attack, so I can imagine if it happens you are worried. Let's hope it's just muscles hurting, maybe tens because of the stress around your foot?
Take it easy, I hope you feel better soon!

I got a few of this styled gaming tokens, I have one of the Treasure Island tokens of the set. One of these days I'll get my hands on the pirate ship Token.
That is pretty cool. I didn't realize they sold tokens like that. The first time I went to Vegas it was pretty cool. The second time I didn't hate it, but the third time I wasn't as impressed as I had been. Way too many kids running around, everywhere you go all you smell is weed, and everything is so expensive like you said. I don't have problem with weed or kids honestly, but it just detracted from the experience. I would like to go back to see that new sphere they just built, but beyond that, I don't know if I would ever return. Maybe once I am a crypto millionaire I will feel differently!
Sorry about getting back late, I was out of commission for about a week. They it's a lot of fun, there are slot that will pay out these tokens too but it takes a lot of luck!
Oh wow, that is cool! I can see how Vegas would be fun if you weren't living on a budget. I mean I had fun there, but it just sucks when you have to be worried about how you are going to cover the VISA bill when you get home.
I hear you! That was back in the days I was single and pulling in a huge income! Noting like kids to change your budget!
We don't even have kids, but stuff is just so expensive these days. I do love all the food and entertainment options out there. We had some really great meals last time we visited.
At least you got to eat all the good food and all the good shows. It's a lot of fun!!
I love these silver tokens from Las Vegas!😊
I’m not sure if the one I have is a limited production run, but I am hanging onto it!
It’s somewhere deep in the stack Lol!🤗
I love them, keep on stacking! Sorry about getting back so late. I ended up out of commission right after I published this one!
No worries my friend take care of yourself!😊

Those are cool collection items! These days it’s slide a car in or out bills and get credit printed to cash in most spots. I miss putting coins in 🪙. I remember they still had coin slots in like 2007/2008 time in many places. That changed shortly later in most cases. Cheers friend!
