My brother Rick Lee, my sister Laurie Lee, and I took my beautiful Mom on a trip to Las Vegas. We stayed at the Cosmopolitan and visited Aria, Palms, Park MGM, Resort World, Gold Coast, Silverton, South Point, Durango, Circa, and the Outlets. We had a great time and my Mom won BIG. We ate so much, but I lost two pounds because of all the walking we did. I couldn't keep up with my Mom.
