We were tempted by the Black Jack tables but didn't feel confident enough (and the minimum was much higher than the roulette).<br /><br />We didn't mention there were also a couple of pretty grand dining rooms within the Casino; we looked in on them but didn't dare sample them - maybe after a lottery win we'd go back and spoil ourselves properly - turning up in a nice rented sports car too!<br /><br />Hope you get there one day, in the mean time you can badger Kyle for more details next time you see him. We loved it and it ranks as one of those great memorable life experiences for sure. Heck, I even wore lip-stick :-)SV-Footprinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580604213296592771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36756953.post-70113974217417188512011-06-07T07:47:28.530-04:002011-06-07T07:47:28.530-04:00Kate - that would be a red Ferrari on one side and...Kate - that would be a red Ferrari on one side and a white Lamborghini on the other. <br /><br />Kyle might be more likely to turn up in a Smart Car (or on foot, as we did), although I think he was drooling a little; OK more than a little.SV-Footprinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580604213296592771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36756953.post-2389556966294879922011-06-07T01:01:35.033-04:002011-06-07T01:01:35.033-04:00I am SO jealous!

You don't need to gamble in Monte Carlos all the time, but you've done it once and successfully at that. Kyle, it's good to see you in your kilt again. Like Kate, I would have loved for you to turn the cameras on your beautiful wife that evening. What a wonderland place. Sigh. I'm so happy for you both.Mommy Dearestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36756953.post-36296645788712112232011-06-06T15:48:27.131-04:002011-06-06T15:48:27.131-04:00THAT is very cool, is what that is! I loved readin...THAT is very cool, is what that is! I loved reading about your casino visit - congratulations on winning at roulette! I love that you got to experience having a croupier (and a CROUPIER, not a mere dealer from Vegas, sniff sniff) push a pile of chips towards you with his little wooden stick (I'm sure there's a fancy word for that). And I love the picture of Kyle in his kilt by the Ferrari (Lamborgini??) - somehow, I can't imagine a Scottish millionaire picking up his Italian sports car, but you look quite dapper. Alas, there was no picture of Maryanne from your special casino night...? I'm so glad you were able to make it to Monte Carlo and take in the sights, even if it was squeezed into fewer days than you would've liked. It looks gorgeous - and yes, a bit Disney-esque!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518178249956943570noreply@blogger.com
