We even went to Las Vegas last month. She had to get a visa because she's still traveling with her Iranian passport It was easy. Vegas is stressful.
The wife and I spent 9 days in Vegas when we went a couple years back, that's about 4 too many for me. I'm not big on giving my hard earned money away to casino's so I mostly went to see the sights and go to some shows. If I never make it back there, it won't bother me.

I know a guy who lives in Oliver, just south of Penticton, who is the owner of a custom gun shop. He was telling me it's not easy to make a living in that area too.
